    Short on time? No problem! This tour is ideal for travellers with limited time but who still want to experience all of Vietnam’s most prominent attractions. We take you to several of the top sites so you gain an insight into the country’s diverse culture and amazing landscapes, with the added bonus of meeting friendly people on the way.

    Starting in the north, we explore the historic capital of Hanoi before heading to the enchanting, and somewhat mystical Ha Long Bay on board our own private junk to cruise through a stunning scenery of towering karsts, hidden caves and secret coves. Heading south, we delve into the cosmopolitan city of Ho Chi Minh city and if you are feeling brave enough, you can crawl through the extensive Cu Chi Tunnels that were used by Vietcong soldiers during the American War.
