Morning
Take an 80-minute flight to get to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s economic center, which is the most crowded city with over 10 million of population and where you will find an incredible mix of Vietnamese traditional culture and modern life.
Upon arrival, our driver will wait and transfer you to the Ho Chi Minh City hotel.
Afternoon
At 13:30, we will join the Ho Chi Minh sightseeing tour “all-in-one” to visit all the top must-see attractions here.
To begin, we pay a visit to the War Remnants Museum, which preserves more than 20,000 documents, artifacts, and movies about evidence of crimes and consequences of wars that the invading forces have caused to Vietnam.
Next, move to the Reunification Palace which used to be the residence and working place of the President of the Republic of Vietnam, this place witnessed and marked the day Vietnam officially gained independence and territorial integrity.
Continuing our journey to the stunning Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral also known as Immaculate Conception Cathedral Basilica or Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Saïgon. It is not only a symbol of Catholicism in Vietnam but also one of the unique architectural works of Ho Chi Minh City.
Following your visit to the cathedral, we head to the Saigon Post Office: one of the typical colonial architectural constructions in Ho Chi Minh City. This is a building built by the French between 1886 and 1891 with Western-style design combined with Eastern decoration. The post office is still working at present and is crowded every day.

NOTE: Saigon Notre Dame Cathedral is temporarily under renovation.
Before returning to your hotel, the tour's last stop is the local market, where your group can go shopping like a local and learn how to bargain.

The transfer between Hue to Hoi An without air condition, should improve.
1. Hotel in Hanoi – La Suite Hotel & Spa –
The hotel staff were fantastic. Lovely people. The room was a little below our expectations. We found the room size to be OK, however the window was at the rooftop level where there was washing lines and it wasn’t a very pleasant outlook. The window didn’t close properly so we had some noise until the area was quiet. We enjoyed it because it was a handy good location.
4.2. Hotel in Hue– ÊMM Hotel Hue - Again staff were lovely. Hotel was below our expectations. Smallish size room (for 3) Location was good.
4.3. Hotel in Hoi An– Golden Holiday Hotel & Spa – This was the best of our rooms, large modern and good location. The staff were lovely and the assistance to us was fantastic. A very good hotel with good restaurant and facilities. Balcony access.
4.4. Hotel in Ho Chi Minh– Thien Hai Hotel - This was the smallest of our rooms we stayed in. Below expectations for size. Location was average.

3.1. Guide in Hanoi
Tom was our first guide and probably the best of all (although ALL were very good). He had such a friendly, happy personality, with a good sense of humor. His English was excellent and knew Hanoi so well. We had such a good visit and we enjoyed Hanoi the best of all due to his efforts. He obviously enjoys his job and it shows in the way he looked after us.

3.2. Guide in Hue/ Hoi An
Anh was excellent as well. She is a very pleasant and intelligent lady. Her knowledge of the history of the area was extremely good. She was able to give us such good information. Her English was excellent and we enjoyed Hue immensely.
Guide in Hoi An was Luc. Luc was competent, his English good and his knowledge of the area was excellent. He gave us a good tour.

3.3. Guide in Ho Chi Minh
We had 2 guides here. First day Kun took us to Cu Chi tunnels and then to the City in the afternoon. He was very pleasant, friendly and had good English. We had a very busy day and saw a lot.
The second day Harry took us to Mekong River. This was a more relaxing visit which we enjoyed so much. Harry was very accommodating. He looked after us well. The meal we had with the family in the house on the bank of the Mekong was one of the best of the whole trip. We felt Harry was the youngest and least experienced guide that we had. His English was satisfactory. He is such a keen and friendly person and he will develop into an excellent guide.

4.1. Hotel in Hanoi - Hanoi Pearl Hotel
Very comfortable and well appointed. The food served both at breakfast and for dinner in their dining room was excellent. We loved the roof top bar from which we could view to city below while having refreshing drinks.

4.2. Cruise in Halong - Indochina Sails 2 days
We could not believe how good the accommodation and food was on board. It was just so excellent. The crew was excellent as was the whole trip at Halong. A real highlight!
------------------
4.3. Hotel in Hue - Huong Giang Hotel Resort and Spa
A very big and well-appointed hotel. Very nice views from our window over the Perfume River. The food served both at breakfast and for dinner in their dining room was excellent. We really enjoyed their sauna and spa facilities.
----------------
4.4. Hotel in Hoi An - Little Hoi An Beach Boutique Hotel & Spa
This was such a nice hotel. The hotel was well appointed. Transport into Hoi An was provided. Without doubt it had the best, friendliest staff of the hotels we stayed at. This made such a difference. The staff there looked after us so well. The dining staff for example took the time and interest to engage in conversations with us. We were sad to leave there.
----------------
4.5. Hotel in Nha Trang - Alana Nha Trang Hotel
This was a very good hotel. Very well appointed. The rooftop bar and swimming pool were excellent with views to the beach. The front desk concierge named Vin was without doubt the friendliest front desk worker we met on our trip. Such a bubbly and happy personality. He was able to recommend a few local restaurants where we had some excellent feeds.
---------------------
4.6. Hotel in Ho Chi Minh - Harmony Hotel
It was comfortable and well appointed. It was disappointing that for our first 2 nights all we saw from our room window was a concrete wall. However on the night we came back from the Mekong we did get a room with a view which was so much better. The dining room where we had breakfast and meals had great views. We really liked the staff here, they were extremely friendly.
------------------
4.7. Hotel in Can Tho - Muong Thanh Can Tho Hotel was the most opulent hotel we stayed
at. Very big, impressive large foyer entrance, lots of facilities and a great roof top bar area
where you got a great view of the Mekong area.More
