Day 1: Arrival - Ho Chi Minh
On arrival at Tan San Nhat Airport, you are met by our guide and transferred to hotel. The bustling Ho Chi Minh City, still called Saigon by many locals, is a center of commerce, finance, culture and tourism in Vietnam. This metropolis ,contradiction of its northern counterpart, is crowded with bikes and motorbikes, excited by numerous shopping areas and sidewalk cafés. ( If time permits) we stroll around the down town to explore the different local ways of life. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh.

Day 2 : Ho Chi Minh - Cu Chi - Ho Chi Minh
Today we have an excursion to Cu Chi Tunnels. This famous site is an incredible underground network of approximately 200 kilometres constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the long struggle for independence. On arrival we visit an exposition hall and a widened section of the tunnels to get a feel of the underground life. There are also possibilities to fire off rounds from an AK47 or MK16 at the nearby rifle range. The following programme is a sightseeing of major sights in Ho Chi Minh City. We drive past many lively streets on our way to the Reunification Palace. This mansion was the former residence of the President of South Vietnam until end of April 1975. Close to the palace are some striking French colonial structures including the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Old Sai Gon Post Office. We see these before going to the Jade Emperor Pagoda and the War remnant exhibit. The final stop is Saigon’s Chinatown, locally named Cho Lon. This bustling area is crammed with fascinating temples and mysterious, narrow lanes. Overnight in Ho Chi Minh. (B)

Day 3 : Ho Chi Minh - Hanoi
The following destination of our trip is Hanoi via a short flight from Ho Chi Minh City. On arrival you are greeted by our guide and transferred to the town center. The exploration of Hanoi begins with Ho Chi Minh Complex, containing the mausoleum of the nation’s founder Ho Chi Minh, the Presidential Palace and the Ho Chi Minh’s house on stilts. Close to this complex is the One Pillar Pagoda, whose origins date back to the foundation of city. We follow this with the Temple of Literature, which is well known as the first university of Vietnam, and the History Museum with an excellent collection of artifacts illustrating the Vietnamese history. The old quarter streets and the peaceful lake of Hoan Kiem with its sacred temple are also a major part of our sightseeing. In front of this lake is the famous water puppet theatre where we will see a fantastic performance. Overnight in Ha Noi. (B)

Day 4: Hanoi - Ha Long - Ha Noi
Heading out of town we make our way to Halong Bay, truly one of Vietnam’s most impressive scenic sights. On arrival we embark a traditional boat for a five hour trip around Halong Bay. This exciting cruise provides us a fantastic view of the picturesque scenery blending with the sky and some 3,000 limestone islands rising amazingly from the clear and emerald water. These limestone karst formations are littered with beaches, grottoes and beautiful caves. Along the way we will anchor for a leisurely swim in a secluded cove and an enjoyable visit to one of the many hidden grottoes beneath towering cliffs. We round off our excursion with a seafood lunch served on board and make our way back to Ha Noi, stopping en route at Dong Trieu pottery village . Overnight in Ha Noi. (B,L)
