Itinerary
DAY 1: SAIGON
ARRIVAL
Welcome to Vietnam! Upon touchdown at Saigon's Tan Son Nhat International Airport you will be assisted through visa formalities by friendly Fast Track Service staff. Expedited through the priority lane, you will be taken to retrieve your luggage before being delivered to your private Saigon host waiting for you in the arrivals hall. A transfer vehicle will be ready to take you to your hotel.
Depending on the time of arrival, enjoy the evening at leisure in your hotel or brace yourself for Saigon's organized chaos and metropolitan buzz.
PRIVATE SCOOTER FOODIE
Duration: 4 hours
As the sun sets, enjoy an evening scooter adventure. We'll take Saigon by storm and experience the amazing energy and movement of the southern capital via a colorful scooter journey (you'll be chauffeured by professionals!). We'll whizz around the historical district taking in all the sights, sounds and smells of a city relaxing after work.
Street-side food is a delicious culinary adventure in and of itself and provides a perfect view of Saigon's motorcycle medley. If you fancy a nightcap, we can head up to one of Saigon's rooftop bars and observe the city's frenzy from above.
Note: The motorbikes are normal motorbikes and not Vespas to provide maximum safety, flexibility and tailored experiences.
DAY 2: SAIGON
CU CHI TUNNELS WITH VETERAN MEETING AND SPEEDBOAT
Duration: 6 hours
The morning will be spent exploring the Cu Chi Tunnels where the Vietcong dug 250 kilometers of passageways from the Cambodian border towards Saigon, eventually capturing the city. While heavily visited, it's astounding what they constructed and you'll have the opportunity to squeeze through most of these very narrow passageways.
This visit gives an enduring appreciation for the tenacity and sacrifices of the Vietnamese people. A private speedboat with a picnic snack and drinks on board is a fun way to make your return journey from Cu Chi to Saigon with great views to be had from the river along the way.
Note: it is a 1.5 hour drive there by car and 1.5 hour return by speedboat.
DAY 3: SAIGON
SAIGON'S CHINATOWN AND HISTORICAL DISTRICT
Duration: 3 hours
Today we'll hit the town by three-wheeled cyclo. A vintage and slow-paced way of getting around, we'll head to Cholon, Saigon's Chinatown, where we can roam around the old spice district as well as the colorful and sensory Binh Tay Market. We will also get pedaled to Giac Lam Pagoda, one of the city's oldest Buddhist temples.
The morning ride through markets will no doubt leave us building up an appetite. Lunch will be one of the most classic and ubiquitous of Vietnamese dishes: pho noodle soup. Saigon is considered by many to have the best pho in Vietnam. We'll let you be the judge before enjoying a coffee in the park and continuing our exploration of Saigon's historical district on foot in the afternoon.
SAIGON TO PHU QUOC
Time to say goodbye to Saigon! You will be picked up from your hotel and transferred to the airport for your onward flight.
Upon your arrival, our Airport Representative, who will hold a Regent signage, will be waiting for you at the Airport booth, next to the baggage claim area. They will then escort you to your hotel by private vehicle.
Discover the ocean like never before with our private fun dives, led by real local guides who know every corner of the reef. We'll take you to hidden gems, point out what makes each site special, and show you exactly where to spot the cool stuff.
Need a refresher before jumping in? We've got you covered - we'll help you regain confidence and ease back into the water. Into the tiny details? Our eagle-eyed guides love macro dives and won't let you miss even the smallest critters. Whether you're after a chilled scenic dive or a heart-pumping underwater adventure, we tailor every dive to match your style. With private groups and fully personalized service, every moment feels like your own ocean adventure.

This afternoon we'll head out to explore the hotel's neighborhood area and step into vintage Hanoi with a little historical overview, a traditional Vietnamese coffee, and a glimpse of Hanoians at work, rest and play around the city's largest natural landmark. There is no better place to get oriented. We'll cap off the evening with some mouth-watering authentic Vietnamese cuisine at one of the city's excellent restaurants.

ADVENTURE TO BAT TRANG CERAMIC VILLAGE
Duration: 5 hours

Chat with the owners to understand more about their house, the village & especially how their lives have changed since the revolutionary Land Reform in Northern Vietnam in the mid-20th century. Visit Ceramic Market, and maybe purchase some unique gifts for friends and family."
HANOI INSIDE OUT BY VINTAGE SIDECAR
Duration: 3 hours
Hanoi has been the Vietnamese capital since 1010 A.D., so there are endless stories to be told from within the city's bustling alleyways and diverse quarters. Today, we'll delve deep into Hanoi as we immerse ourselves in these tales.
We'll start with a vintage sidecar ride, drifting through the must-see sights of the Old Quarter, then head to the West Lake area to visit some beautiful gardens and some of Vietnam's oldest Buddhist monasteries. We suggest visiting the Temple of Literature, strolling along the Parisian boulevards of the French Quarter, and, if you're up for it, exploring Ho Chi Minh's Museum complex and the historic Ba Dinh Square.
The sightseeing will be complemented by two essential Vietnamese experiences: slurping on a bowl of Noodle Soup (Phở) and sipping traditional Vietnamese iced coffee (Café Sua Da), or even trying egg coffee (Cà Phê Trứng) - a unique and delicious drink that originated in Hanoi.
DAY 8: HANOI TO HALONG BAY
