Why this journey

This 6-day Vietnam holiday brings together the energy of southern Vietnam and the slower rhythms of the central coast. Begin in Ho Chi Minh City, where the legacy of Saigon’s colonial era sits alongside a fast-moving modern skyline, then head out to the Cu Chi Tunnels for a powerful look at wartime history and the underground network that shaped the region.

The journey continues with a day in the Mekong Delta, travelling to My Tho for a boat trip through river channels, fruit orchards and island communities. Along the way, you will experience local craft traditions, a traditional music performance and the calm pace of life that defines Vietnam’s river country before returning to Saigon for the night.

After a city tour in Saigon, fly to Da Nang and move into Vietnam’s central coast for the second half of the trip. Visit Marble Mountain for its limestone caves and elevated viewpoints, then continue to Hoi An to explore historic houses, pagodas, museums and the old bridge area that give the town its distinctive character.

The final full day is dedicated to Ba Na Hills, reached by cable car and known for wide mountain views, the Golden Bridge, French Village and Fantasy Park. With 5 nights in hotel accommodation, private transfers, breakfast each day and an English-speaking guide, this Vietnam private tour balances sightseeing, comfort and smooth intercity travel for travellers wanting a varied Saigon and Da Nang itinerary.
