This country offer an excellent combination of bustling cities, tranquil beaches and cultural centres with lush countryside and friendly people. If you arrive in Sai Gon, you may take a day trip to Cu Chi tunnel, then spend 2 days cruising to explore beautiful Mekong river with exciting floating markets of local peopl. If you prefer a best retreat, a few days in sensational Phu Quoc island would be wonderful. Then, a stopover in Hoi An and Hue would be fantastic if you really want to stay in a peaceful place and try the outstanding food. There you can easily join daily cooking class which offered by tour agencies. Up to Hanoi, there are still many choices. I think if you prefer to enjoy the daily life as well Hanoi food specialties, accommodation in the Old Quarter should be a big fun although it does not offer as many 4* hotels as other surroundings. But the quality of 3* is very good. Of course, it will be a mistake without taking a cruising trip in Halong Bay. A spectacular and fantastic cruise with luxury boat would make your cruising trip more memorable. If still have time, Sapa homestay would be a choice for you to explore the ethnic hill-tribes of Northern Vietnam. Other tours could be Tam Coc on day, Mai Chau trekking 2 days, and a trip to Ba Be lake in the northeast would be remarkable. Here I list some accommodation in Sai Gon, Hoi An and Hanoi you may refer. suggest also 3 * $ 4 * for your references because their best locations of the attractions.
