Our Vietnam holiday starts with two days in Hanoi

You’ll have time to relax after your flight followed by a 'Welcome' dinner at a good restaurant in a colonial building. In the evening, you'll have tickets for a performance of traditional Water Puppetry.

After breakfast, your guide will arrive to show you the sights of Hanoi, covering the Van Mieu Temple of Literature, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Ngoc Son temple, and Hanoi's Old Quarter and so on.

How you get around is entirely up to you. You can be driven, walk, ride in a cyclo.

Meals: one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner
Escort/guide: transfer from airport to hotel and evening, and the following daytime


Two-day cruise in Ha Long Bay and another night in Hanoi
It takes about a three and a half hours drive to Ha Long Bay, but a comfortable car and an experienced guide to explain the rural life of the Red River Delta makes the time run fast. Your boat will be a traditional-style wooden junk or the Emeraude, a luxury replica of the paddle steamers.

Your junk will take you to the islands and caves with time for swimming, fishing, taking spectacular photos, or venturing into some of the sea level grottoes in a small sampan, all weather permitting, of course.

Meals: two breakfasts, two lunches and one dinner
Guide: fully escorted
