Spirit of Vietnam

Cu Chi Tunnels and Saigon’s Living History

After breakfast, your private guide brings Vietnam’s wartime past into focus with a journey to the Cu Chi Tunnels — a sprawling underground network that once served as a base for the Viet Cong. You’ll walk through preserved tunnel sections, learn how locals survived the war years, and even try the traditional guerrilla snack of cassava and tea.

Return to the city for a full afternoon exploring Saigon’s colonial-era landmarks: the elegant Notre-Dame Cathedral, Independence Palace, the grand Central Post Office, and the powerful War Remnants Museum. Along the way, your guide will share stories that illuminate both the city’s past and its present heartbeat.

Breakfast and Lunch are included

A Mekong Delta Day — Villages, Boats and Orchard Life

Leave the skyscrapers behind and journey into the tranquil Mekong Delta. Board a private boat at Ben Tre and cruise through peaceful backwaters, past stilt houses, rice barges and local markets.

Visit artisan workshops, enjoy sweet coconut treats, and listen to traditional music in an ancient house on An Bình Island. A home-cooked lunch at a local homestay offers a true taste of life in the Delta. Pedal a bicycle along shaded village paths (if you wish), or simply let the river rhythms guide your day.

Breakfast and Lunch are included

Fly to Danang — From Rivers to Sea

This morning, you’ll be transferred to the airport for your flight to Danang, Vietnam’s coastal playground. Upon arrival, your private driver will escort you to your beachfront accommodation.

The rest of the day is yours to unwind — feel the sand between your toes, sip a coconut by the pool, or stroll to a seafront café and soak in the coastal calm.

Breakfast included
2 nights in Danang- hotel standard of your choice

Danang at Leisure — Beach Vibes and Village Discoveries

Take today at your own pace. Walk the golden sands of My Khe Beach, wander through the colourful Han Market, or venture to the striking Marble Mountains. You may also opt to explore nearby fishing villages, indulge in a local spa treatment, or simply enjoy the view from your balcony.

Your travel designer can also add optional experiences here — from guided food walks to a visit to Hoi An for sunset lanterns.

Breakfast included

Hanoi Bound — A Capital of Contrasts

Say goodbye to the coast and fly north to Hanoi, a city of poetic lakes, buzzing alleyways and timeless traditions. After being met by your driver, you’ll check in to your hotel.

Spend the afternoon exploring independently or unwind with a Vietnamese coffee overlooking the lake. Your guide will be on hand to offer local tips, from hidden cocktail bars to must-try bun cha spots.

• Deluxe & Indulgence travellers: Venture into Tràng An & Tam Coc, Vietnam’s breathtaking “Halong Bay on land”. You’ll glide through lush rice fields and stone cave tunnels by rowboat, visit the ancient capital of Hoa Lư, and enjoy a local lunch before returning to Hanoi.
