Stroll through streets filled with historic charm, making sure to stop in Ba Dinh Square where president Ho Chi Minh proclaimed the independence of Vietnam in 1945. Continue to attractions such as the Temple of Literature and Nha Chung Street for some traditional Hanoian tea.
Escape the city the following day to the rural mountains of Ba Vi, and hear important tales of history from a Vietnamese War Veteran and tea farmer. Spend the rest of the day learning the traditional technique of harvesting and producing tea, cycling through lush paddy fields, and partaking in a fun cooking class. End your countryside adventure with a herbal foot bath before heading back to Hanoi.

Embark on an overnight trip to Halong Bay. The breathtaking landscape of thousands of limestone islands jutting out of the emerald sea is an iconic image of Vietnam. The best way to appreciate this wonder is via a luxury overnight boat trip, where you can relax with a gourmet dinner and morning Tai Chi class on the sun deck before exploring limestone caves full of stalagmites and stalactites. Enjoy a delicious brunch before being transferred back to Hanoi.

Ho Chi Minh
Travel from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh, otherwise known as Saigon. Previously capital of the colony of French Indochina, Ho Chi Minh City is famous for its bustling markets and French colonial architecture. Begin your trip with a morning visiting renowned landmarks, including the Independence Palace and War Remnants Museum. In the afternoon, explore the Cu Chi tunnels, an immense network once used to aid the Viet Cong in guerilla warfare.
Venture outside the city by taking a daytrip to Ben Tre and hop in a motorboat to explore the Mekong River. Stop at An Binh Island to stroll through orchards and visit the local village. Observe the making of rice paper and coconut candy or take a leisurely bike ride before heading back to Ho Chi Minh.

Finish the day with a stop at the Grand Palace, once the royal residence and still the city’s most famous landmark.
