This 10-day luxury tour with Avex Vietnam Travel offers an unforgettable opportunity to discover the highlights of Vietnam from vibrant cities to breathtaking landscapes. Starting in Ho Chi Minh City, guests will explore the fertile Mekong Delta with its lush orchards, winding waterways, and unique floating markets. The journey continues to the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, where travelers can witness the underground network that reflects the resilience of the Vietnamese people during wartime.
Back in Ho Chi Minh City, a city tour takes you to iconic landmarks such as the Reunification Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Central Post Office, and Ben Thanh Market, while also experiencing the dynamic rhythm of Vietnam’s largest metropolis. Afterwards, relax in Vung Tau, a charming coastal city known for its sandy beaches, clear waters, and fresh seafood.
From the South, the tour heads to Hanoi, the thousand-year-old capital, where visitors can stroll through the Old Quarter, admire Hoan Kiem Lake, and explore the Temple of Literature while enjoying the rich street food culture. The journey continues to Ninh Binh, famous for Trang An and Tam Coc – often called “Halong Bay on land” thanks to its majestic limestone mountains and serene rivers. Finally, the tour concludes with a cruise on Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where thousands of limestone islands rise dramatically from emerald waters. This journey is the perfect way to travel to Vietnam, combining culture, history, nature, and cuisine into one memorable experience.
