Postcard of Vietnam

Head to the Cu Chi Tunnels today, an incredible underground construction stretching hundreds of kilometers. This tunnel network was built during French colonial rule and brought into service effectively during the Vietnam War. It gives an insight into the life of thousands of Vietnamese fighters living here during the war.

Afterward, explore Saigon’s famous attractions such as the Notre Dame Cathedral (under construction until 2027), Dong Khoi Street (formerly Rue Catinat), Opera House, the Central Post Office, designed and constructed by Gustav Eiffel. Complete the day with a street food tour in the evening. You will experience Sign nightlife and taste all the dishes that all the Vietnamese fall in love with.

See an authentic local fish market up close and personal early in the morning when the boats begin to dock with their morning catch. The market isn’t crowded with tourists and the locals are friendly with warm smiles. Explore Hoi An in a poetic boat trip along the Thu Bon River, then on a Jeep to the countryside to see another beautiful side of Hoi An. Finish your morning with lunch at a local house looking over a quiet river.

Farewell to Hoi An and fly to the laidback but vibrant Hanoi today. Check in to your hotel. L'Opera Hanoi is an iconic hotel in the city's center, just 3 minutes walk from the Old Quarter, and a short distance to the Hanoi Opera House.

Chill out in the back of your transfer car enjoying the mountain landscape on the drive to Bac Ha Market. The Dzao, Hmong, Tay, as well as other hill tribes, gather together at this Sunday market, giving it a special vibe that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Spend your morning for further cultural immersions on your own or relaxation at your hotel. Today it’s back to Hanoi.

Explore more of the bay with your cruise before disembarking and driving back to Hanoi. For the rest of the day, enjoy the city at leisure on your own.
