7 Days in Vietnam, incl. Ho Chi Minh City and Halong Bay
The route spans 6 Vietnamese cities from Saigon to Hanoi. Travelers will visit Cu Chi Tunnels, cruise Mekong Delta to Vinh Trang Pagoda, sail UNESCO-listed Halong Bay on MILA Cruises, and immerse in local life at Bakhan Village Resort, all for approx. $120 per day.
- Day 1
Ho Chi Minh City
Arrive in HCMC and settle into the downtown area. Book the optional airport pickup ($30) if arriving late as local taxis can be hard to navigate after dark. Stay at the Elios Hotel or upgrade to the Happy Life Grand Hotel.
- Day 2
Cu Chi Tunnels & HCMC (Optional)

- Day 3
Mekong Delta & Flight to Hanoi
Leave at 8 AM for My Tho in the Mekong Delta about 75km from HCMC. Stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda and take a river cruise. Book a mid-afternoon flight to Hanoi to avoid HCMC rush hour traffic. Head to your Hanoi hotel once you arrive.
- Days 4-5
Halong Bay Cruise
Take a morning drive to Halong Bay (3.5 hours). Board your traditional junk boat for an overnight stay. A guest mentioned: "Halong Bay cruise was phenomenal with superb food and interesting activities." You'll explore Amazing Cave swim in clear waters and enjoy fresh seafood. The next morning visit a floating fishing village before heading back to Hanoi.
- Day 6
Mai Chau Valley
Leave at 8:30 AM for Ba Khan Village Resort through scenic countryside. Stop for refreshments on the way. Take an afternoon walk in Khan Ha to see valley views. Watch a cultural show by locals if available. Stay at the resort which visitors call "the best accommodation in Mai Chau."
- Day 7
Mountain Trek & Return to Hanoi
Start with an East Mountain trek for valley views. The walk suits all fitness levels. Leave for Hanoi at 1:30 PM reaching the Old Quarter around 5 PM.
7 Days in Vietnam, incl. Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City
This cultural tour encompasses 7 destinations including UNESCO-listed Halong Bay cruise, Mai Chau Valley's Bakhan Village Resort, and Cu Chi Tunnels. Traditional performances, Mekong Delta boat trips, and stays at selected properties like TK-123 Hanoi Hotel highlight the journey.
- Day 1
Hanoi
Land in Hanoi and settle in. The trip from Noi Bai Airport to the city center takes 45-60 minutes. "Danny from Legend Travel was great at making sure I got from Point A to Point B, especially not knowing the language." Spend your evening walking the Old Quarter's winding streets and trying local street food.
- Days 2-3
Halong Bay
Take a 3.5-hour drive east to Halong Bay. Board a traditional junk boat for an overnight cruise among the limestone karsts. "The whole experience was memorable, especially Halong Bay." A tip: pack a small bag for the cruise since large suitcases are hard to manage on boats. Next morning, visit local fishing villages before heading back to Hanoi in the afternoon.
- Day 4
Mai Chau Valley
Travel to Mai Chau Valley through Hoa Binh City. Consider taking motion sickness pills as the roads can be rough. Some interior roads are still under construction in 2023. Take afternoon walks through villages with beautiful valley views. Stay at Bakhan Village Resort and watch traditional dance shows in the evening.
- Day 5
Mai Chau to Ho Chi Minh City
Start with a morning trek along East Mountain. Drive back to Hanoi (3.5 hours) for your flight south. Book after lunch to skip morning traffic. Once in Ho Chi Minh City, you'll feel the warmer weather right away. Bring light clothes and drink plenty of water.
- Day 6
Cu Chi Tunnels
Take a trip to the Cu Chi tunnel network (75km, 1.5 hours each way). It's optional but worth it. "The excursions were SO much fun, and the planning behind the itinerary was so well organized." Wear clothes you can move in if you want to explore the tunnels. Later, tour the city's Notre Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office.
- Day 7
Mekong Delta
Leave at 8 AM for My Tho in the Mekong Delta (75km south). Visit Vinh Trang Pagoda and take boat rides to islands known for local crafts. You'll be back in Ho Chi Minh City by late afternoon. Some guests wanted more time: "I would have liked another day or two." Still, most people liked how much they got to see.
7 Days in Central Vietnam, incl. Hoi An and Hue
Cultural riches await across 6 major destinations including Da Nang, Hue, and Hoi An. The route includes UNESCO sites like My Son Sanctuary, the 31km Paradise Cave system, and Hue's Imperial City, with 6 nights' accommodation and 12 included meals.
- Day 1
Da Nang Arrival
Arrive at Da Nang International Airport and head to your hotel. Consider staying near Bach Dang Street for easy access to the Han River promenade and restaurants. The Titan Hotel area offers a quieter stay but fewer dining options within walking distance.
- Day 2
Da Nang to Quang Tri (3.5 hours)
Head north on Highway 1 early and visit key Vietnam War sites including the Quang Tri Citadel and Ben Hai River. Visit the Vinh Moc Tunnels in the afternoon. You'll need comfortable shoes for climbing through the narrow passages. Stay overnight in Dong Hoi.
- Day 3
Paradise Cave Exploration
Drive to Paradise Cave in Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park. It's a 20-minute walk to the cave entrance through forest. Wear shoes with good grip since the wooden steps can get slippery. "The scale of Paradise Cave is mind-blowing. The first chamber alone is larger than a cathedral, with crystalline formations that seem to glow in the lighting," one visitor reports.
- Day 4
Hue Heritage (2 hours from Paradise Cave)
Start early at Hue's Imperial City to avoid crowds and heat. Plan 3-4 hours to properly see the citadel complex. Take a dragon boat on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda after lunch. Visit Khai Dinh's Tomb in late afternoon when sunlight highlights the glass and ceramic details.
- Day 5
Hoi An Food and Culture
Take a morning bike tour through Hoi An's countryside on flat easy paths to try local foods like Cao Lau noodles and white rose dumplings. Visit My Son Sanctuary around 2:30 PM after tour buses leave. Bring sun protection as there isn't much shade.
- Day 6
Free Day in Hoi An
Spend time exploring the Ancient Town at your own pace. Get an Old Town ticket ($6) to see the historic houses and Japanese Bridge. Want custom clothing? Order early as most shops can finish within 24 hours.
- Day 7
Departure
Return to Da Nang airport (45 minutes). Try to book afternoon flights since morning traffic between Hoi An and Da Nang can get busy.

- Best of Vietnam from Saigon to Hanoi 7 Days - Super Save
Overall the tour was top notch!!! However, like all tours it could be improved. 1. Conversion of Currency - Travelers had to fend to themselves to determine conversion rates and trying to find to money exchange. It was an aggravation that can be avoided by more information and a hand-out explaining the situation. 2. Meals were paid for in advance. However, drinks for meals were not included and had to be paid for separately. Again, this was another aggravation that could be avoided by included the cost of drinks initial tour charge for the entire meal. 3. Tips - Travelers were constantly trying to figure out who should be tipped. Providing a few guidelines regarding tipping would be very helpful.

Full intinerary, opportunity to see so many things. Very little down time. Excellent organization of tours, pick ups, flights, etc. Very attentive to travellers needs. Would travel with legend tours again. Thank you for an excellent trip.
- 7 Days Epic Journeys Through Central Vietnam
Hoi An Express is a very professional and reliable tour company. I would highly recommend them. TOUR: Central Vietnam 6 nights, 7 days Correspondence: Candy Drivers: Dung and Viet Guide: Nguyen Tran Khanh or "Key" Candy was excellent in replying to my emails - very timely, and addressed any concerns, questions I had. She was also very patient with all my questions. Guide Key speaks English very well, and is very knowledgeable. I liked that he would look something up if he was unsure of my question. He was my guide for the whole tour. Dung was the driver for my day in Da Nang. Viet was the driver for the rest of the trip. Both very courteous, they and Key were always punctual, even arrived a few minutes earlier than stated. The hotels were rated 3 stars. All were clean with hot water. The cleanest being Hoi An Village Villas in Hoi An, Serene Hotel in Hue, and Titan Hotel in Da Nang. All offered amenities such as complimentary water bottles, kettle, tea, coffee, fridge, shampoos and soaps and bath gels, toothbrushes, etc. Basic brands but they were available. The tubs in all the hotels (except Hoi An Village Villa - no tub) were nice after a long day of walking. All provided breakfasts - some better than others. I think Titan and Fansipan in Da Nang had the least tasty breakfasts but good coffee. For my last night stay in Fansipan, they had a boxed breakfast ready for me for my 4am departure, which was really a nice touch. The lunches provided were great, especially in Hue. More than ample food (6-7 course lunches) and all very very tasty. The least tasty was at the Nam Long in Hoi An on Day 2. But to give them credit, they were polite and served well, even though I was the only one in the restaurant. Beautiful surroundings. Lunch in Hue was my favourite for both taste and ambience. Others on the road north were tasty, but more cafeteria like surroundings, but clean. I travelled solo on this trip, and found I was the only one on the tour. But I felt safe. Hoi An Express even gave me a cell phone upon arrival so they can contact me, and i them in case I needed anything. This was my first guided tour so I don't know if this is common, but it was great to be welcomed like that. Thank goodness they didn't cancel my tour!! The sites visited were also just what I wanted - from walking through caves and up mountains (and down) to seeing historical tombs, war zones, temples, architecture, ruins of palaces There was enough free time as well for me to wander on my own in each city in the late afternoon/evenings. Even the foodie bike tour was interesting - and more enjoyable if only I wasn't so nervous on the bike and biking through the traffic and people. I did run into a little boy and I fell off my bike, bruised and scratched. The little boy was ok. The only suggestions I would make: 1. if someone arrives in Da Nang, it would be nice to point them towards a restaurant if the hotel doesn't have a restaurant. I stayed in Titan the first 2 nights, mid-afternoon not having eaten anything since breakfast, been awake since 4am and travelling, so was very tired. Hotel staff at that shift didn't speak enough English, and couldn't point me towards any restaurants. I walked 1 block in each direction and gave up. The hotel restaurant is open only for breakfast. Nga on the next shift was able to point me towards a restaurant just 3 -4 blocks away. 2. In Hoi An, perhaps the guide can inform the tourists that one can get a pass for $6 to all the houses and temples and bridge in the ancient city. It may have been in the information given, but I didn't really read any of it. My bad, but just a nudge from the tour guide for 'after the tour', and recommendations for restaurants, would be a nice touch. 3. in Hoi An, the Hoi An Village Villas are a bit out in nowhere. It's a nice quiet spot away from the city, and might be a 45 minute walk into town. There is a shuttle bus but it runs only 3x a day. More service would be nice. At least a mid-afternoon trek into town around 3 or 4pm instead of waiting until past 7pm. All in all a great trip, and i thank Candy, Key, and Dung and Viet immensely for making it so.
