8 Nights Unveiling Vietnam Hidden Gems

Get picked up from your hotel and head to the Cu Chi Tunnels (about 60 km, 1.5 hours). Watch an introductory documentary before exploring the tunnel network, including hidden trap doors, field hospitals, storage areas, and weapon workshops. You’ll also visit a rice paper workshop (if available) and enjoy tasting local tea and tapioca. After Cu Chi, continue to My Tho for lunch at a local restaurant (at your own expense). In the afternoon, enjoy a boat trip to nearby islands, taste tropical fruits, listen to folk music, visit a bee farm, sip honey tea, and glide through a small canal on a rowing boat. Return to Ho Chi Minh City by late afternoon.

Fly to Da Nang, where you’ll be transferred to the charming town of Hoi An (approx. 30–45 minutes). Spend your evening wandering the vibrant Old Hoi An Market, exploring its local stalls and handcrafted goods. For a peaceful end to the day, consider a boat ride along the Thu Bon River to admire the ancient town’s night-time glow.

Begin your adventure with a transfer to the famous Bana Hills and French Village, where you’ll marvel at its unique French-inspired architecture, including churches, town squares, and hotels. Enjoy a scenic 20-minute cable car ride over lush forests and waterfalls to the mountaintop, where you’ll experience the iconic Golden Bridge — seemingly held up by giant stone hands.
