Days 1–4: Ho Chi Minh City
After a guided tour of the city once known as Saigon, travelers enjoy a day of leisure with several available optional tours. You can explore the food and nightlife of the city via Vespa, or take a boat tour of the Mekong Delta. The city tour includes, but is not limited to, stops at the following sites:
- Presidential Palace: Once the South Vietnamese presidential headquarters, the palace was stormed by North Vietnamese troops in 1975, bringing an end to the Vietnam War.
- Notre-Dame Basilica reflects the city’s French colonial roots, with its Romanesque spires and facade made of bricks imported from Marseilles.
- Saigon Opera House: This French Colonial building is modeled after the Opéra Garnier in Paris.
Days 5–6: Ha Long Bay
Head to Ha Long by way of the Red River Delta farmlands. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Ha Long Bay is populated by thousands of limestone isles and karsts—cavelike geological formations made by dissolved rock. Prior to Ha Long, guests have the option to tour the Cu Chi Tunnels. Some leisure time precedes Day 6’s adventure on the bay, which is included with this getaway.
- 5-hour Ha Long Bay cruise: A private boat travels between grassy limestone formations in Ha Long Bay. Thousands of small islands were said to have been formed by a dragon that crashed into the bay. A fresh seafood lunch is served during the cruise.
Days 7–8: Hanoi
The tour wraps up in Hanoi, Vietnam’s vibrant capital city and the onetime capital of French Indochina. You’ll have two days to check out the city’s cultural offerings, such as art galleries, the Trang Tien Plaza shopping center, and a traditional water puppet show. An included half-day tour visits the following sites:
- Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum: The body of former Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh lies in state inside a glass casket.
- One Pillar Pagoda: A feeling of tranquility suffuses this wooden pagoda perched on a single pillar above a pond full of lotuses.
- Hoa Lo Prison held several POWs during the war, including U.S. Senator John McCain. The guillotine and underground tunnels serve as a chilling reminder of the country’s troubled past.
- Museum of Ethnology: the research center and public museum celebrates the various ethnic groups of Vietnam.
- Optional excursion: See Hanoi’s historic district from a three-wheeled cyclo before catching a traditional water puppet show.
