The Scenic Vietnam Tour is the perfect way to become very familiar with Vietnam’s top highlights. This tour is active at times but mostly relaxed, allowing you to soak up each new location.

Discover the many faces of this dynamic country as you explore Hanoi’s Old Quarter, cruise Ha Long Bay, pedal rural Mai Chau, uncover Hue’s imperial heritage, soak up the magical atmosphere of Hoi An, and walk the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City.

This tour will take you into local life against contrasting backdrops of rolling countryside and cityscapes. Discover the peaceful face of Hanoi and interact with warm-smile locals in Ba Vi. Drive a couple of hours to the beautiful Mai Chau valley.

Work your legs with a cycle through the rolling hills, with waves of vivid green rice paddies and learn more about the region’s enduring traditions. Then set sail in Bai Tu Long Bay, explore magnificent caves and beaches in the less-visited region of Ha Long Bay, where 3,000 limestone karsts jut forth from emerald waters.

Travel to the center of Vietnam and discover the ancient citadel of Hue on a very special transportation back in the day – a cyclo. Then, hop on a basket boat and learn how local people fish using their own technique.

Head south into the heat, heading away from the bright city lights and take things at a more leisurely pace in the Mekong Delta where you’ll visit an authentic floating market, visit magnificent bonsai gardens and learn from the locals about life in the region.

This tour is a fantastic way to get to know the magic of Vietnam.
