Itinerary

Day 1 | Welcome to Ho Chi Minh City – Where Energy Meets Elegance

As your plane descends into Ho Chi Minh City, you arrive not just in Vietnam’s largest metropolis, but at the heart of its youthful vitality and layered history. Here, grand boulevards echo with stories of the French colonial past, while sleek skyscrapers shimmer with the promise of modern ambition.
You’ll be greeted at the airport with warm hospitality and transferred to your elegant hotel nestled in District 1, the beating heart of the city. Whether you choose to unwind in the comfort of your room or step outside to sip Vietnamese coffee in a tucked-away art café, your introduction to Saigon can be as calm or as lively as you desire.
Why travelers love it: This day eases you into Vietnam’s southern rhythm—a soft landing that allows you to breathe in the culture at your own pace.
Overnight: Ho Chi Minh City
Included: Airport transfer

Day 2 | Into the Depths of History – The Cu Chi Tunnels Experience

Step away from the city’s modern pace and journey into a chapter of resilience and resourcefulness. The Cu Chi Tunnels, once a lifeline for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War, now offer a compelling insight into a nation’s endurance under fire.
Explore a labyrinth of underground hideouts, sleeping quarters, and command centers—guided by local experts who bring the stories alive with vivid detail. Above ground, interactive exhibits further illuminate the courage and ingenuity that defined a generation.
Return to the city by midday and enjoy the rest of the day as you please—perhaps with a boutique shopping spree, sunset drinks at a rooftop bar, or a culinary adventure in one of Saigon’s vibrant night markets.
Why travelers love it: A powerful and humbling encounter with Vietnam’s wartime legacy, told not just in facts but in human spirit.
Overnight: Ho Chi Minh City
Included: Breakfast, guided Cu Chi Tunnels tour

Day 3 | Life Along the Water – From Cai Be to Can Tho in the Mekong Delta

This morning, exchange the city skyline for the lush serenity of the Mekong Delta, where daily life gently unfolds on a maze of rivers and canals. Travel south to Cai Be, a riverside town where you’ll board a traditional boat and glide through scenes of vibrant local life.
Drift past floating markets, verdant orchards, and homes built on stilts. Stop at family-run workshops to see how locals make coconut candy, rice paper, and other handmade goods. Enjoy a rustic yet delicious countryside lunch surrounded by swaying palms and the rhythm of the river.
In the afternoon, continue to Can Tho, the cultural and economic heart of the Mekong. Settle into your riverside hotel as twilight falls over the delta.
Why travelers love it: A soulful immersion into Vietnam’s rural heartland—authentic, scenic, and rich in human connection.
Overnight: Can Tho
Included: Breakfast, lunch, guided river tour, transfer

Day 4 | Floating Markets at Dawn – Then to Phu Quoc Island Paradise

Wake before the sun to witness the magical dawn choreography of the Cai Rang Floating Market—an iconic Mekong sight where boats brimming with fruit and produce create a colorful dance on the river.
After breakfast and check-out, head to the airport for your short flight to Phu Quoc, a tropical island off Vietnam’s southwestern coast. Upon arrival, transfer to your beachfront resort and let the sea breeze carry you into a new pace of life.
Why travelers love it: A beautiful contrast—from the bustling river culture of the delta to the serene rhythms of island time.
Overnight: Phu Quoc
Included: Breakfast, floating market boat tour, domestic flight

Day 5 - 6 | Phu Quoc Island – Days of Freedom and Ocean Air

With two full days in Phu Quoc, the schedule is entirely your own. Rise early to walk barefoot on the beach at sunrise or sleep in and begin the day with a spa massage. Dive into the turquoise waters for snorkeling, visit a pepper farm, or simply read a book in a hammock as the world drifts by.
Optional activities abound: a sunset cruise, a cooking class, a tour of the island’s storied fish sauce factories, or a visit to the Phu Quoc Prison Museum for a deeper look into the island’s past. For families, VinWonders amusement park offers a fun-filled escape.

Why travelers love it: These are the days to savor—to reconnect with nature, with loved ones, or with yourself.
Overnight: Phu QuocIncluded: Daily breakfast
Optional: Excursions, spa treatments, local experiences

Day 7 | Departure – From Phu Quoc Back to Ho Chi Minh City

Enjoy one last breakfast with the ocean as your backdrop. You’ll be transferred to the airport for your return flight to Ho Chi Minh City, where you’ll connect with your international departure or onward journey.
From the pulse of the city to the quiet of the delta and the tranquility of island shores, your Vietnam journey concludes with memories as vivid and varied as the land itself.
