Day 1: Arriving Ha Noi.
Green Horizon Tours’ guide will pick up and transfer you to your hotel. The remainder of your day is at leisure. Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, ranks amongst the world's most attractive and interesting cities. It was first the capital of Vietnam in A.D. 1010, and though the nation's capital moved to Hue under the Nguyen dynasty in 1802, the city continued to flourish after the French took control in 1888. In 1954, after the French departed, Hanoi was declared Vietnam's capital once again. The remnants of over 1,000 years of history are still visible here, with that of the past few hundred years wonderfully preserved. You will spent overnight in Ha Noi.
Day 2: Ha Noi, 'Old & New' City Tour - B,L,D.
After breakfast, Green Horizon Tours’ guide & Driver will transfer you to West Lake where bicycles will be waiting for a morning of cycling. Saddle up and set off around the lake at around 17km(about 10.6 miles). Also known as Tay Ho Lake, this large expanse of freshwater and its lakeside gardens attract locals looking for a quiet spot away from the busy streets of central Hanoi. Various historical places of interest are scattered around the perimeter including Vietnam’s oldest pagoda, Tran Quoc and Quan Thanh Temple, one of Vietnam’s four sacred temples. Stops will be made to visit one of the ancient pagodas that dot the route and enjoy a drink local coffee. Then, transfer by car to the Temple of Literature, the site of Vietnam's first national university. Built in 1070, this complex of atmospheric halls, pavilions and courtyards is dedicated to Confucius and scholars. Stop at Trang Tien Street near the Opera House for lunch. Popular with students and office workers, this narrow alley fills with street side stalls at lunchtime selling everything from pho and fried rice to sticky sweet treats. Pull up a plastic stool and tuck into lunch, Vietnamese-style. After lunch, it’s time to explore Hanoi’s contemporary culture. Throughout the capital there are rumblings of creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, a step away from traditionalism and the rise of fresh and fashionable places. Manzi Art Café is one of Hanoi’s increasingly popular part café, part art gallery ventures. Set in a French Colonial villa in a relatively quiet Hanoi street, it’s the sort of place where you could easily while away a couple of hours drinking Vietnamese coffee and browsing the artwork. Sadly you won’t have so much time to spare, but there will certainly be time for coffee before walking to the Old Quarter. In contrast to your tranquil cycle ride around West Lake, a stroll through this historical area is an assault on the senses; its maze of narrow alleys are packed with motorbikes and street vendors, lined with restaurants, traditional workshops, souvenir shops and pagodas. The best way to absorb the atmosphere is with a local fresh beer at one of the Bia Hoi on Ta Hien and Luong Ngoc Quyen Street. Having enjoyed a beer and thoroughly explored Hanoi or return to your hotel. You will spent overnight in Ha Noi.
Day 3: Ha Noi – Ha Long Paloma Cruise 4*, 165km distance - B,L,D.
After breakfast, Depart for Ha Long Bay at around three hour drive from the capital, passing through a number of typical North Vietnamese towns and villages. On arrival you will be welcomed aboard your traditional junk; the same style that have sailed the bay for 100’s of years. A natural wonder of the world and one of Vietnam’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the creation of Halong Bay is shrouded in myth. Local legend tells us how the gods sent a family of dragons to defend the country from the invading Chinese. The dragons spat out gemstones that turned into islands, linking together to create a wall against the enemy. The truth is almost as evocative as the legend and upon setting out into the bay you are met by one of the most beguiling natural scenes you will ever witness. We have lunch time on the way.

Despite the passing of the years and the ravages of weather and war, the centre of Hoi An remains much the same as it did in its heyday. The town is undoubtedly one of the highlights of any visit to Vietnam with the laid-back atmosphere and the fine Colonial architecture lining cobbled streets offering a glimpse of times gone-by. Explore the former merchants’ homes, the 450 year-old Japanese Covered Bridge and the colourful market. Hoi An is one of the best places in Asia to shop for silks, handicrafts, antiques and art.

Day 7: Hoi An - My Son & Cruise, 70km distance – B,L.
After breakfast, Green Horizon Tours’ guide will meet you at your hotel for a tour of the countryside beyond Hoi An. Your exploration will take in the UNESCO World Heritage site of My Son Sanctuary (pronounced 'Mee'), an impressive temple complex built by the Cham civilization between the 4th and 13th centuries AD. My Son was both the religious and political centre of the Champa Kingdom, for most of the Cham culture's predominance in the region. Its ruins include all manner of carved stone devotional monuments and over 70 remarkable red brick temples, 25 of which still stand in tact amongst American bomb craters, with a great deal more of the complex lying on or below the ground. The Champa Kingdom roughly corresponded with what was later South Vietnam and, at its peak, controlled the spice and silk routes between the Middle East, China, India and Indonesia. With this income, the Cham developed a distinctive artistic culture, and My Son's temples are so emblematic of their aesthetic that the civilisation's primary architectural style is named after the site. Before you reach My Son, your journey will take in the considerably less spiritual but no less intriguing sights of Thanh Ha fishing market and the Ba Ren market, which is full of little piglets. Drive along country roads (which can be bumpy at times) through rural scenery, peaceful villages and bustling markets, before arriving at My Son in time for a morning performance of traditional Cham dance and music. Having explored the ancient site on foot, and absorbed some of its history from your guide, you'll be driven to another fishing village, Tra Nhieu, where you can watch local mat-weaving techniques before climbing aboard a private boat to continue your tour by river.
