Classical Vietnam - Staying in 4-5 Star Hotels

From $5,790 - 16 Days, Fully Inclusive from selected Australian cities

Staying at deluxe hotels, some built around the turn of the 19th Century, this slower paced tour relives the ambiance of a time long gone. Combining the vibrant and modern city of Saigon with the sleepy ancient town of Hoi An and the classical city of Hanoi, staying multiple nights in each location, this tour allows plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere of this ever changing country.
