Tour overview
This 14-day tour travels the length of Vietnam with return flights from the UK, two journeys on the Reunification Express and a two-night cruise on Halong Bay. A tour director travels with the group, which numbers between twelve and twenty-eight. You stay twelve nights in four-star hotels, a traditional junk and an overnight train, with breakfast, lunch and dinner on most days.
In Hanoi you explore the Old Quarter by cyclo and visit the Ethnology Museum and Ho Chi Minh's mausoleum. A two-night cruise on Halong Bay brings tai chi on deck and cave visits, before the overnight Reunification Express carries you south to Hue.
