The trip begins in Ha Noi, Ha Long, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, and ends in Saigon, from the more ancient areas to newer, more dynamic cities. Not only guides us to the most beautiful landscapes in the country, but the trip is also an opportunity for us to enjoy the diverse specialties of the three regions, as well as discover the unique cultures of each area.
