One of the highlights of your stay is a guided food experience through Hanoi's vibrant streets.

Your journey continues to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's vibrant southern metropolis where colonial architecture, bustling markets and modern skyscrapers combine to create an exciting and energetic atmosphere.

You will also venture into the lush Mekong Delta, often referred to as the "Green Venice" of Vietnam. Explore Ben Tre Province, known locally as Coconut Island, where traditional ways of life continue much as they have for generations.
Cruise along peaceful waterways, visit family-run workshops, sample fresh tropical fruits and glide through narrow canals by sampan surrounded by coconut palms and lush vegetation. It is a wonderfully relaxed and authentic experience, offering a fascinating glimpse into life along one of Asia's most important rivers.
