Vietnam Singapore Tour

We meet with you, our esteemed guests, at Istanbul Airport Departure Terminal at 23.15. After baggage and passport procedures, we depart directly for Hanoi with Turkish Airlines flight TK164 at 02.15. Arrival in Hanoi at 15.25 local time. After being greeted by our local guide, we start our panoramic Hanoi city tour. Our first stop will be the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, built in memory of Vietnam's legendary leader who passed away in 1969 and became the symbol of the country's independence struggle. Then, we take a short break to photograph the impressive French colonial architecture by seeing the Presidential Palace from the outside. Our tour continues with the One Pillar Pagoda, built in the 11th century by Emperor Ly Thai Tong and one of Hanoi's most unique temples with its structure inspired by the lotus flower. Our last stop is the Temple of Literature, founded in 1070 and known as Vietnam's first university. We find the opportunity to examine traditional architecture and stone steles standing on stone turtles closely in the temple, which is accepted as the symbol of wisdom and Confucian culture. After the tour, transfer to our hotel and free time. Overnight at our hotel.

After breakfast at our hotel, we depart for our Halong Bay tour including lunch. Halong Bay, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and accepted as one of the most fascinating natural wonders of the world, spreads over an area of approximately 1,500 km² and consists of 1,969 limestone islets. During our all-day boat tour, we will cruise among fairytale-like limestone formations; we will have the chance to see the most famous points of the bay such as Dinh Huong Island, Ga Choi Island also known as "Kissing Roosters", and the impressive Thien Cung Cave famous for its "Heavenly Palace Cave" name. In the special lunch to be served on the boat, we will taste the exquisite flavors of Vietnamese cuisine, especially fresh seafood. At the end of the tour, return to Hanoi and overnight.

After breakfast, we depart for our Ninh Binh and Hoa Lu Ancient Capital tour including lunch. Surrounded by limestone mountains, Ninh Binh offers one of Vietnam's most impressive nature experiences. We go to the pier and start our boat tour, cruising along the Ngo Dong River towards the caves. Tam Coc, which means "Three Caves", is known as the "Halong Bay on Land" thanks to the limestone formations rising among the rice fields. We taste the local flavors of the region for lunch. Then we continue to Hoa Lu, which was the capital of Vietnam between 968-1009, and visit the temples dedicated to the kings of the Dinh and Le dynasties. Although very few remains have survived from the 300-hectare ancient citadel to the present day, the ruins and temples in the region offer a unique opportunity to discover the early period history of Vietnam. After our tour, transfer to Hanoi Airport and flight to Danang with a scheduled domestic flight. Upon arrival, transfer to our hotel in Hoi An, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, check-in, and rest.

After breakfast at our hotel, we start our tour in the ancient quarter of Hoi An. An extraordinarily well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century, the town's buildings and street fabric together reflect the indigenous and foreign influences that have combined to produce this unique heritage site. We visit the iconic Japanese Bridge, a Chinese-Turkish merchant house, various Chinese Assembly Halls, and the Hoi An Museum. Free time after the tour.

After breakfast, we depart for Danang, Vietnam's largest coastal city. Along the way, we pass through the Marble Mountains region, famous for its stone-carving workshops, and get information about the region. In Danang, we will see modern bridges over the Han River, especially the Dragon Bridge, designed in the shape of a dragon and famous for breathing fire in the evenings. The bridge has become one of the symbols of the city. After Danang, we continue to Ba Na Hills to see the Golden Bridge. Located near Danang, 1,400 meters above sea level, this architectural marvel is one of Southeast Asia's most iconic modern structures. To reach the bridge, we first take a cable car ride of approximately 6 kilometers, offering magnificent panoramic views. The most striking feature of the bridge is two giant hand figures that make it look as if they are holding it in the air; these hands give the impression of ancient statues carved from centuries-old stone. After lunch, we go down and transfer to Danang Airport for our short flight to Saigon. Upon arrival, transfer to our hotel in the city center and overnight.

After breakfast, we depart for our Cu Chi Tunnels tour, located approximately 70 kilometers away from the city center. Built by communist guerrillas during the Vietnam-American War, which is one of the most dramatic events of recent history, this tunnel system extends for more than 250 kilometers and turned into an underground city throughout the war. Here we will see trenches, camps, traps, living areas, and underground passages belonging to the period. After lunch, we return to Saigon and start our panoramic city tour. We visit the magnificent Opera House, City Hall, Central Post Office designed by the famous architect Gustave Eiffel, Notre Dame Cathedral, one of Saigon's most important Catholic structures, and Ben Thanh Market, Saigon's covered bazaar. At the end of the day, return to our hotel and overnight.
