Explore Holidays is offering a choice of a free one-night Halong Bay cruise or special Mai Chau Valley extension prices on all ‘Highlights of Vietnam’ tour bookings made before 31 July 2007.
The bonus cruise and Mai Chau Valley extension offers add even further depth to an already comprehensive eight-day/seven-night itinerary which traverses the country from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi via famous Danang, Hoi An and Hue.
Highlights en route include Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi city tours, Cu Chi and its famous tunnels, Hue’s Imperial City and the Perfume River, Thien Mu Pagoda and the Minh Mang tomb.
