My tour starts in Saigon (now called Ho Chi Minh City) and ends in Hanoi.

 Bright lights and the bustle of a million scooters! Thriving modern city intertwines with French-colonial grandeur and traditional mystique.  Uncover some amazing secrets here... Like a bowl of delicious Pho Bo noodle soup, topped with fresh picked basil, mind, or dine in a restored French villa or sip a cocktail at the Rex Hotel.. Good morning Vietnam! We get the best hotel in Saigon – Park Hyatt Saigon for three glorious nights!

 We continue up the coast, first to Dalat, the mountain Retreat. Golfers have the option of visiting the Dalat Palace Golf Club - 18hole Par 72. We have one night at Ana Mandara Dalat.

 We head to Nha Trang - 29th most beautiful bay int eh world known as the Vietnamese Med. Our accommodation for two nights is the Evason Ana Mandara. Right on its own private stretch of perfect beach. Bring it on!

 We have included a day trip, a short boat ride to Six Senses Ninh Van Bay for the  ultimate spa treatment (at your own expenses).. although there is a $75 voucher included in the tour price.

 We have also set up an optional excursion with a local world famous photographer Mai Loc in Nha Trang Mai Loc will show us his favourite places to that those ultimate Vietnamese photo shot of a lifetime.

 We take an hours flight to Danang - Hoi An is a short transfer from the airport. Life Heritage Resort/Spa Hoi An will be our  home from home for two unforgettable nights. UNESCO World Heritage listed ancient town.. with some of the best dining, shopping temptations.

 For the golfers - The Mongomerie Links, located just off the historical China Beach is a stunning 7090 yard, Par 72 Championship Golf Course. The Montgomerie Links Vietnam gives  you the feeling of being in Ireland/Scotland without the cold!

 Dinner tonight at the iconic Nam Hai will sure to please the fussiest eater!

 We take a drive up via the spectacular Cloudy Pass (National Geographic one of 50 best drives in the world) to Hue - former imperial capital.  This town presents an insight into historic Vietnam. Filled with relics of a fascinating past, ancient architecture is a sight to behold. Visit Citadel and ancient tombs, have lunch with the monks.

 La Residence Hotel, opulence, excellence, warmth. This former Governor's residence has been restored into Vietnam's newest boutique hotel. Two nights to indulge.

 We transfer for our last domestic short flight to Hanoi. Check into the Sofitel Metropole for three nights. More than 100 years old grand dame, classical milk-white facade, dark green shutters, original wrought iron detailing and timber makes this a full one French Colonial fantasy.

 Golfers.. two full days to catch up while the ladies shop/spa and do what we know best! Enjoy either the Kings Island Golf Resort or Van Tri Golf Resort. Both outstanding.

 We can also visit KOTO, - now world famous Know One Teach One cookery school. Founded by Australian Jimmy Pham.

 We transfer for our three hour country road trip, visiting a Pottery factory en route, getting to Halong Bay. Overnight on Ginger Junk.. slowly contemplating more than 1,000 pinnacles shaped limestone outcrops, sipping cocktails, with views over the South China Seas.. life could be so hard!

 We enjoy a cookery demo, a good dinner, and next morning, Thai Chi class on the deck, before we make our way back towards the International Airport for either our Extension Journey to Laos/Cambodia or make our way back home.

 One last thing to do.. exchange addresses with new found friends, have one last Vietnamese coffee, and say 'Au Revoir'.. When did you say your next trip is Jean?.. TWICE a year.. March and October.. one trip to Vietnam is not enough. Good morning Vietnam.
