Upon disembarkation, our driver will be waiting to provide transport to Hanoi for the departing flight. Take a short flight to Da Nang, then transfer to Hoi An.

Check-in hotel and overnight in Hoi An.

Hoi An is an old port town, which features many different cultures from Vietnam, Japan, China, and Europe.

Fortunately, throughout the time, most ancient constructions have been conserved in unspoiled condition (although some of the buildings are now used for commercial purposes), so travelers will have a complete understanding of history and diversity in the culture of this historic place.

Our half-day excursion is simply walking. We will wander along old streets, cross several old houses, see how the daily lives of local people are, and witness how historical elements of the town merge with modernity. We will also visit ancient monuments from other nations, like the Japanese Covered Bridge or Fujian Assembly Hall of Chinese. And after some walking, a cold glass of traditional herbal drink from a street-side shop is the best way to refresh and enjoy the authentic taste of Hoi An on your tongue.

If we have enough time, we will also pass by a handicraft store, at which you could directly see the creation of unique souvenirs in town, and take some of them back to your hometown.

Get picked up at the hotel in Hoi An, then transfer to the hotel in Hue via Cloudy Pass by shuttle bus or private car, with stops at some spots on the way for sightseeing and photoshoot (admission fee is not included).

The tranquil Hue City, founded in the 17th century as a royal city and a capital (before Hanoi replaced it), has become one of the top destinations in the middle of Vietnam.

The tour starts with a visit to Thien Mu Pagoda, a famous Buddhism attraction located at the bank of the enchanting Perfume River. The pagoda is fascinating because of the ancient design of the buildings and the good location at which you could enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Perfume River.

Leaving the pagoda, we continue our journey today to visit the Imperial Citadel. Spend most of the time around the citadel, with visits to the front gate, the Flag Tower, The King's Palace, and the Museums of Royal Antiquities.

Our next and last stop will be Dong Ba Market, the most prominent traditional trading place in Hue City and the adjacent provinces. Walking through kiosks, you will have a chance to understand the daily business of local sellers, their way of doing business, as well as purchase some interesting souvenirs before we drive you back to your hotel.

Have breakfast at the hotel. Free time until the driver picks you up and transfers you to Hue airport for the flight to Ho Chi Minh City.

Upon arrival, our driver will wait and transfer you to the hotel in Ho Chi Minh city

In the morning: Start your Cu Chi Tunnels tour to learn about the history of Vietnam. The attraction itself is a collection of underground tunnels and construction, from hospital bedrooms to ammunition storage used by the Vietnam army during the Vietnam war.

On April 30th 1975 the American War officially came to an end here. Afterward, we visited Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral, which was built in 1880, and the Old Post Office, which was built sometime between 1886 and 1891. It is one of the best examples of classical French colonial architecture. Our last stop would be at a local market where you can practice your bargaining skills while shopping for souvenirs. Discover local life and culture. You'll find some of the friendliest, liveliest, most convivial people in the city here.

Return to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City. Free time for the rest of the day.

Escape from the city to the Mekong Delta, where you'll see what life is like beyond the urban center of the south. 

The Mekong Delta features food production as the prime industry as an incredibly fertile region. The area has produced approximately half of Vietnam's total agricultural output.

Local life for villages in the area revolves around the rivers and canals that make up the delta so that people are more likely to transport by river than road. 

Enjoy the fresh air and immerse yourself in the tranquility of the countryside, still untouched by tourism. Hop on a boat and experience the Mekong waterways' diversity firsthand as you explore fish farms and exotic fruit farms. 

Touring the orchards, paddy fields, and swamplands of the Mekong Delta, you will step into the pages of a geography textbook. 

Cruise to the floating market in Can Tho.

Travel along the Mekong and the natural network of canals by motorboat and sampan under the shadows of water coconut trees. You will have a chance to taste seasonal fruits right from the orchard, meet friendly locals, and visit the region's lively floating markets. Northwest of Can Tho, meanwhile, and a stone's throw from the Cambodian border, is the ebullient town of Chau Doc, south of which Sam Mountain provides a welcome undulation in the surrounding plains. The wall's opening here has brought a steady stream of travelers to Phnom Penh by boat.

Afternoon road transfers to Chau Doc and spends one night at this sleepy little town.

Have breakfast at the hotel. Head to the boat station, take a speed boat to Phnom Penh (around 5 - 5.5 hours transferring). Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel and have a short rest.

Afternoon, explore Angkor Wat, the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor. The temple complex covers 81 hectares and is comparable to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Its distinctive five towers are emblazoned on the Cambodian flag, and art historians consider the 12th-century masterpiece to be the prime example of classical Khmer art and architecture. Last but not least, view an incredible sunset from Angkor Wat or somewhere possible.
