Day 14: Siem Reap Departure

Day 1: Arrive Hanoi & Puppet Show

Day 2: City Tour with Cyclo

After breakfast, please assemble in the hotel lobby to meet your local tour guide, who will provide a warm introduction to today’s journey through the rich history and vibrant soul of Hanoi. Today’s exploration blends culture, architecture, and tradition - all at a pace that’s perfect for families.

Begin with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, the final resting place of Vietnam’s most beloved leader. Standing solemnly at Ba Dinh Square, the mausoleum is a symbol of reverence and national pride. Just steps away, walk through the lush grounds of the Presidential Palace, then continue to the modest house-on-stilts where Ho Chi Minh lived and worked. Surrounded by gardens and a tranquil fish pond, this simple residence offers touching insight into the life of “Uncle Ho.”

Next, visit the iconic One Pillar Pagoda, an elegant wooden temple rising from a single stone pillar in the shape of a lotus blossom. Originally constructed in 1049, the pagoda is not only an architectural marvel but also a spiritual symbol of purity and enlightenment. Its intricate carvings and serene setting make it a memorable stop for visitors of all ages.

Continue on to one of Hanoi’s most revered sites: the Temple of Literature - Vietnam’s first national university, founded in 1070. Dedicated to Confucius, this peaceful complex of courtyards, gardens, and ancient stone stelae is where generations of scholars once gathered to pursue knowledge and wisdom. Stroll under the archways, listen to the echoes of scholarly footsteps, and pose for photos amid traditional Vietnamese architecture.

To wrap up your day, climb aboard a traditional cyclo for a 45-minute ride through Hanoi’s charming Old Quarter. Let the rhythm of the city wash over you as you glide past narrow lanes, French colonial buildings, and bustling street vendors. It’s a fun, relaxed way to take in the energy of Hanoi and unwind before heading back to your hotel for the evening.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Accommodation: Hotel in Hanoi

Day 3: Halong Bay Overnight Cruise

Morning

Leave the hustle of Hanoi behind as your driver picks you up between 8:00 and 8:30 for a smooth journey along the brand-new Hanoi - Hai Phong Expressway. Your destination is the awe-inspiring Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its emerald waters and thousands of towering limestone karsts.

Upon arrival at the port, you'll be welcomed aboard your luxury Halong Bay cruise with a refreshing drink. After a brief orientation and safety briefing, settle into your cabin and get ready for an unforgettable voyage.

As the cruise sets sail into the bay's dreamlike seascape, enjoy a gourmet lunch in the onboard restaurant while limestone pillars, forested islets, and floating fishing villages drift past your window.

Afternoon

In the afternoon, take time to unwind with optional spa and massage treatments - a rejuvenating treat as the boat glides through tranquil waters.

NOTE: Please make a reservation with your cruise manager to guarantee there is space for you

Later, prepare for a short climb of more than 50 steps to the entrance of Surprise Cave (Sung Sot), one of Halong Bay’s most famous caverns. Inside, explore a vast network of chambers adorned with dramatic stalactites and stalagmites, illuminated to reveal nature’s ancient artistry. The cave's sheer scale and haunting beauty leave a lasting impression on visitors of all ages.

As dusk approaches, return to the boat for a traditional Vietnamese culinary demonstration, where you'll learn the art of fruit carving or observe how local dishes are prepared with delicate precision. It's a fun and interactive experience, especially engaging for curious young travelers.

Evening

In the evening, savor a freshly prepared dinner under the soft glow of lanterns, with the sea gently rocking beneath you. Afterward, take part in night squid fishing, play cards or board games in the lounge, or simply enjoy a quiet drink on deck while stars twinkle above the bay.

Spend the night in your comfortable cabin aboard the cruise, lulled to sleep by the gentle rhythm of Halong's waters.

Day 7: Free Day in Hoi An

Day 8: Flight to Ho Chi Minh

Day 13: Kampong Phluk - Tonle Sap River Boat Cruise & Dinner Show

Day 9: Cu Chi Tunnel Half Day with Cooking Class

Morning

Begin your day with a scenic drive from Ho Chi Minh City at 7:30, heading northwest into the peaceful countryside of Cu Chi District. Known for its pivotal role during the Vietnam War, this area also offers a beautiful look into rural life - where rice fields sway in the breeze and ponds glisten under the morning sun.

Your first stop is the Ho Chi Minh Agricultural Villages, where you'll walk among vibrant vegetable gardens, fish ponds, and fruit orchards. It's a refreshing immersion into Vietnam's agrarian roots, and a perfect opportunity for children and adults to learn about traditional farming practices.

After this hands-on introduction to the local ecosystem, join a lively cooking class guided by passionate local chefs. Roll up your sleeves and learn to craft three authentic Vietnamese dishes and a dessert - from fresh spring rolls to caramelized clay pot fish - all using fresh ingredients harvested nearby.

Afternoon

Continue your cultural discovery with a visit to a rice paper-making village, where you'll observe the intricate, rhythmic process of producing this essential ingredient by hand.

Then, take a short walk through a nearby rubber tree forest, where you'll see how latex is carefully tapped from tree bark - another piece of Vietnam's rural economy often unseen by tourists.

The day's highlight follows with an eye-opening visit to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, a vast underground labyrinth that stretches for more than 250 kilometers beneath the ground.

Begin with an informative video that sets the historical context, then step down into the tunnels themselves for a glimpse of the resilience and ingenuity of Vietnamese soldiers during wartime. Explore hidden chambers, camouflaged trapdoors, and Hoang Cam's smokeless kitchen, where meals were prepared without revealing smoke to the enemy.

For those seeking extra adventure, you have the unique opportunity to try AK-47 shooting with real bullets at a designated range (optional activity, with payment on-site). Before leaving, sample boiled tapioca and hot tea - a simple meal that once sustained soldiers, offering a taste of wartime reality.

At 17:30, your driver returns you to your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, leaving you with unforgettable memories of history, cuisine, and countryside life.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Accommodation: Hotel in Ho Chi Minh

Day 10: Ho Chi Minh City - Mekong Delta - Tan Phong Island

Morning

Today, you trade the vibrant streets of Ho Chi Minh City for the serene waterways of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam’s lush and fertile southern heartland. Upon arrival at the Cai Be tourist pier, board your traditional wooden boat operated by Mekong Ecolodge, ready to cruise through a world shaped by rivers and canals.

Your first stop is the colorful Cai Be Floating Market, where local vendors glide across the water in small boats stacked with fruits, vegetables, and daily goods. Watch the lively exchange as produce changes hands from one boat to another - a floating bazaar that has thrived for generations.

From there, continue your journey to the nearby Com Candy Craft Village, where you’ll learn how sweet puffed rice treats are made. Sample freshly baked candy nuggets still warm from the fire, then move on to a local bee farm to sip fragrant honey tea and observe the buzzing production process firsthand.

Cruising deeper into the delta, your boat arrives at Tan Phong Island, a peaceful oasis known for its fruit-laden orchards. Here, durian, rambutan, jackfruit, and longan trees grow in abundance, creating a sensory feast for the whole family.

At a traditional garden home, you’ll be treated to a folk music exchange, where the melodic notes of southern Vietnamese instruments float on the breeze. Enjoy a cup of tea and a plate of fresh tropical fruit as you enjoy the performance.

Next, hop into a small boat for a peaceful ride through the narrow, tree-shaded canals that weave across Tan Phong Island.

After disembarking, check in at the charming Mekong Ecolodge, where a delicious lunch awaits and a comfortable room offers you a tranquil place to rest.

Afternoon

Explore the ecolodge’s lush grounds - wander through colorful flower gardens, pick fruits straight from the trees, and take in the rhythms of delta life.

Then, at around 16:00, join a local guide in the fun and muddy tradition of “slapping the ditch” to catch fish, just like the farmers do. You’ll also gather herbs and vegetables from the garden, all of which will be used in your evening meal.

Evening

As the sun dips over the coconut palms, gather to cook alongside the chef, using the ingredients you helped collect. This immersive farm-to-table experience ends with a cozy, shared family dinner full of laughter, stories, and the rich flavors of the Mekong.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Accommodation: Mekong Ecolodge

Day 11: Tan Phong Island - Ho Chi Minh City

Morning

Begin your final morning in the Mekong Delta with a gentle bicycle ride around Tan Phong Island, where quiet village paths lead through tropical orchards, flower gardens, and rice fields dotted with stilt houses. This immersive cycling experience offers a wonderful chance to connect with local residents and witness daily life on the river’s edge.

Your first stop is a hands-on visit to a rice paper workshop, where skilled artisans demonstrate the traditional technique of crafting this essential ingredient in Vietnamese cuisine.

Watch as rice batter is spread thin on bamboo mats and steamed into translucent sheets. Next, discover the rare and fascinating art of hammock weaving using banana rope, and even try weaving a portion of your own under the guidance of a local expert.

Continue on to a welcoming village home, where you’ll explore the craft of water hyacinth weaving - a sustainable practice that transforms a common plant into beautiful, eco-friendly baskets, mats, and accessories. Under your host’s careful instruction, create your own small souvenir to bring home.

Then, learn about the fine art of crafting bamboo nail files, a clever example of how local communities creatively use available natural materials.

The morning wraps up with a delightful cooking activity centered on jackfruit leaf cakes, a traditional Mekong treat with a soft, chewy texture and subtly sweet flavor. As you prepare the cakes with your host, you’ll not only learn the recipe but also enjoy the fruits of your labor in a light, homemade tasting session.

Afternoon

At 12:00, bid farewell to the gentle rhythms of Tan Phong Island and board the ferry to Hiep Duc, where your transfer awaits.

Sit back and relax during the drive back to Ho Chi Minh City, returning to the energy of Vietnam’s southern hub filled with unforgettable memories of the Mekong’s warmth and hospitality.

3 day Ha Long Bay experience

by Tripadvisor

We organised with the brilliant Mia Nguyen at Best Rate Tours for a 3 day, 2 night tour with Orchid cruises on their nostalgia boat. Mia’s help and organisation was brilliant. Due to the typhoon we had to change plans but she was helpful, friendly and organised throughout. We genuinely could not have asked for more from her. The boat was clean, comfortable and with some absolutely brilliant staff. We are well, plenty of options and lots of food available. The trips we took from the boat were even better than expected. An amazing experience.
