Two of Vietnam’s must see places – the massive
network of narrow tunnels that defied the power
of the B45s, a byzantine maze of underground
passages, chambers, rooms and booby traps used
by both the Vietminh and the Viet Cong to
suddenly materialize as if from nowhere, launch a
lightning ambush, you will watch a short
introductory video on the tunnels construction and
explore the maze of tunnels and vanish equally
rapidly.

Day 3 – 4: Ho Chi Minh City – romantic and quite Dalat (B, L, D)
The Vietnamese call it a “romantic
honeymoon destination” only because the
temperature is cool throughout the year. In
reality it is a small city looking much like
the most others perched on the edge of
Vietnam’s Central Highland Plateaux. The
highlighting is Crazy house, Linh Phuoc
pagoda, Lam Ty Ni pagoda, Bao Dai
Summer palace, a railway station with only
8km network of tracks, the Tuyen Lam Lake
for an hour’s elephant ride on the island in
the middle of the lake. Children love it by buying a few bananas and feeding them by
hand. This is definitely an activity that the whole family can enjoy.
Day 5 – 7: Ho Chi Minh City – romantic and quite Dalat (B, L, D)
Nha Trang is a medium-sized city at the centre of a large bay with offshore islands. It has
been considered as heaven of beaches. There’s plenty to see and do, a vast sandy beach,
good range of restaurants, good hotels, boat cruises, cultural sites and something for
everyone especially those on family holidays. There plenty for youngsters – wallowing in
the mud bath, scuba diving with dive specialist. It is fantastic, huge hit.
Day 8: Ho Chi Minh departure (B)
Our fantastic holiday comes to an end. You will fly back to Ho Chi Minh City to connect
with your flight home.
