Reunification Express (Saigon to Hanoi)
11 Days - from $570
Beginning in the nation's largest city, Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), this south-to-north tour of Vietnam allows you to visit all of the country's most popular destinations in just ten days. Most of our travelling will be done aboard the Reunification Express train, a fascinating and unforgettable way to view the unfolding landscape of Vietnam. We begin by discovering the attractions of the steamy southern city of Saigon, before taking the train to the beach resort city of Nha Trang, where we cruise to the offshore islands and relax in the sun.
A long drive through some remarkable rural and coastal scenery brings us to Hoi An, where we spend time in this wonderfully well-preserved ancient port town - a favourite of every traveller to Vietnam. We continue to Hue, Vietnam's former imperial capital and a city that's steeped in history and culture, before once again catching the overnight sleeper train and finishing our adventure in charming and graceful Hanoi.
