Encounter Vietnam’s breathtaking natural beauty, abiding tradition and profoundly hospitable people on this comprehensive, 15-day journey. Joining a small group limited to 24 travelers, see the country’s many highlights and spend two days in the beautiful, remote Mekong Delta. Get acquainted first with the French-accented capital, Hanoi, during a three-night stay, while touring the Ancient Quarter and other historic sites and sampling local cuisine. On a full-day, Ha Long Bay excursion, explore this stunning waterscape by boat. Traveling on to Da Nang, tour the acclaimed Cham Museum. Enjoy a relaxing, three-night interlude in this splendid setting while staying in a beachfront hotel.
Visit Hoi An and its charming Old Town, a UNESCO site, then take a cooking lesson. A walking tour of a farming settlement reveals its daily life up close. Journey next to Hue for exploration of the vast Imperial Citadel – also a UNESCO site – and a cyclo ride, followed by dinner with traditional music. Cruise the Perfume River to peaceful Thien Mu Pagoda, an important Buddhist monastery, and to the palatial Tomb of Minh Mang. Spend the following two nights in a riverside hotel in Can Tho and experience river life in the storied Mekong Delta, visiting a lively floating market by boat then exploring the Mekong’s tributaries by sampan. With three final nights in vibrant Saigon, see the city’s sights, including the notorious Cu Chi Tunnels; attend a traditional water puppet performance; and enjoy independent exploration. Discover Angkor Wat’s amazing temples and Phnom Penh with an optional 5-day/3-night post-tour extension.
