13 Nights, 14 Days
Ho Chi Minh City is a vibrant and exciting place, filled with cultural and historical attractions, fantastic shopping, and bustling markets. Rich in history and architecture, it’s as wonderful as its welcoming residents. Moving north from the lively energy of Ho Chi Minh, we reach Hanoi, the nation’s capital, where you can immerse yourself in its lively atmosphere, culture, must-see historic sites, and exquisite dining experiences.
Marvel at the awe-inspiring natural scenery on our day tour of Ninh Binh. Experience an unforgettable overnight cruise in Halong Bay, savouring delicious meals and exploring stunning limestone cliffs and caves.
Continuing from Halong Bay, we arrive at the tranquil oasis of Hoi An for some pampering and 5-star luxury. Hoi An, a World Heritage-listed town, is one of the world’s most beautiful historic paradises. Known for its enchanting lantern-filled waterfront and expert tailoring, it offers the perfect blend of shopping and relaxation.
This tour is all about relaxation and style indulgence, designed to rejuvenate your mind, body, soul, and wardrobe. If you’re drawn to the pool and beach and prefer to skip the shopping, that’s perfectly fine – this is your indulgence! Group tailoring sessions are also available, and if you wish, Cindy will oversee the creation of your very own special wardrobe pieces.
This 14-day luxury tour offers a comprehensive sensory experience, combining culture, excitement, wonder, and renewal for an unforgettable journey.
