2008 Vietnam & Laos Explorer:14 day Vietnam & Laos Tour

The peaceful Thu Bon River brings you to ancient Hoi An.

Bustling Vietnam thrives on the pulse of Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon). Be intrigued by Hue and Hoi An and soak up the atmosphere of gracious Hanoi.

Take the time for some independent exploration as you consider venturing down Asia's most ambient backstreets, haggling at her most fascinating markets or savoring local delicacies at any one of the local hawkers.
