About this trip

Embark on our unforgettable 12-Day Vietnam Odyssey Experience!

 

Our tour takes you from the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City, where modernity meets tradition, with its vibrant nightlife and historic landmarks, to the charming old quarters of Hanoi, the nation's capital, where ancient temples and colonial architecture await your exploration. Discover the imperial majesty of Hue with its ancient citadels, tranquil rivers, and rich cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into Vietnam's royal past. Immerse yourself in the enchanting town of Hoi An, known for its lantern-lit evenings, vibrant markets, and beautifully preserved architecture, where every corner tells a story of its glorious trading history.


In Ninh Binh, experience the warmth and hospitality of a local family during a memorable homestay, giving you an authentic taste of Vietnamese rural life. Explore the stunning landscapes of this gorgeous area characterized by its dramatic limestone karsts, lush greenery, and serene waterways, portions of which are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Glide through hidden caves and along picturesque rivers on a traditional sampan boat, and hike through verdant rice paddies for breathtaking views. This immersive experience in Ninh Binh will leave you with lasting memories of Vietnam's natural beauty and cultural richness.


OPTIONAL ADD-ON: 

The adventure doesn't stop there. For those seeking even more excitement, we offer an optional 3-day add-on to Bai Tu Long Bay, a hidden gem of Halong Bay. Spend a magical night in comfort on a gorgeous traditional boat with viewing decks and delicious meals, drifting among the serene, emerald waters and towering limestone islands. With a perfect blend of guided tours, cultural activities, and ample free time to explore on your own, this trip promises to be an experience you won't forget.
