Arrive in Hanoi, the cultural heart and capital of Vietnam. A city of surprising beauty, Hanoi is home to centuries-old traditional architecture that stand alongside elegant French-colonial mansions as well as traditional temples.

Water puppetry is a unique Vietnamese tradition that dates back to the 10th century. Starring colorful marionettes that dance on water, the performances typically portray scenes of daily life, such as farmers working in paddy fields or water buffalo bathing in a pond. Meet a seventh-generation water puppet artist, Phan Thanh Liem, to experience more than just a cultural show. The master puppeteer demonstrates the skills he learned from his father and grandfather during a private solo performance and invites you to try dancing with the puppets yourself.

Back on your cyclo, continue along a leafy street lined with French colonial villas. Stop to explore the city’s largest fresh food market where many of the city’s shops and restaurants source their produce.

Continue to the One Pillar Pagoda, a unique 11th century structure dedicated to King Ly Thai To’s son. Visit Hoa Lo Prison and discover why it became known as the “Hanoi Hilton” during the Vietnam War.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before continuing to the Temple of Literature, where Vietnam’s royal family and elite society were educated for almost 700 years. Take a stroll in the Old Quarter to explore its network of narrow, 15th century streets. Each street bears a name that reflects the business once conducted there, such as Silk Street, Rice Street, Paper Street and Jeweler’s Street. Pause to visit an ancient house then take a walk to the beautiful Hoan Kiem Lake and visit the temple in the lake known as Ngoc Son.

Weave your way through Hanoi’s busy streets and narrow passageways to discover its hidden charms by Vespa, with an experienced local driver at the helm. Leave the typical tourist trail behind and catch a glimpse of real local life with a city Insider as our guide. Visit a local market where locals pick up fresh vegetables, meats and other ingredients for their evening meal.

Hop back on your Vespa and stop at a small passageway hidden between a row of shopfronts. Walk past narrow houses where many generations of the same family live together under one roof. Continue to a local spot for a chance to taste typical local food and try bia hoi, a locally produced fresh brewed beer.

After a quick safety briefing from the crew, enjoy a leisurely lunch on board as the boat sets sail. Head to the deck to watch the dramatic scenes of the bay unfold around you.

DAY 1

Disembark the ship in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to the Tan Son Nhat Airport for a flight to Hue.

Set along the picturesque Perfume River, Hue is a captivating city that enjoyed an illustrious history as the center of power for Vietnam’s former imperial rulers. The Nguyen dynasty emperors enjoyed a 143-year reign, from 1802 until 1945, when Emperor Bao Dai conceded to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The city still maintains much of its majestic charm, where elaborate royal tombs and an imposing Imperial Citadel reveal the extravagant lifestyles of former emperors.

Visit the Imperial Citadel, the seat from which the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945. Despite sustaining extensive damage during the war, the citadel still contains over 100 buildings to explore, including the Imperial Enclosure, a citadel-within-a-citadel which contains the Forbidden Purple City, the former living quarters of the emperor.

After lunch at local restaurant, check-in to your hotel and enjoy some free time to refresh.

In the afternoon, meet your guide and Vespa driver at your hotel to begin an exciting discovery of local life in Hue, traveling on the back of a vintage Vespa. This excursion offers a remarkable combination of adventure, exploration and authentic local experience as your Vespa takes you through some of the city’s less-traveled roads.

Witness the charming scenery of Hue while enjoying local hospitality along your journey. Take advantage of the spectacular photo opportunities en route to Vong Canh Hill. Once at the top of the hill, enjoy panoramic views over the Perfume River and an area known as Royal Valley, where various members of the Nguyen Dynasty are buried. Sip a glass of champagne while contemplating the serene river landscape. If you are lucky, you may also catch views of the sunset here, if the skies are clear.

After drinking in the atmosphere, continue on your Vespa to visit the home of the Doan family or similar. The family warmly welcomes you into their home and host you for dinner while sharing stories of their family and life in Hue. This is a typical local family with three generations living together under one roof. Taking pride in their long-standing traditions, the family ensure that their customs are passed down from generation to generation.

Note: Each guest will ride on the back of a Vespa scooter while an experienced local driver. A helmet will be provided. The tour guide will follow on the back of another Vespa.

DAY 2

After breakfast, start the day with a scenic boat ride along the Perfume River, taking in the enchanting scenery along the riverbanks as you make your way to Thien Mu Pagoda. One of the oldest religious monuments in Hue, the seven-story structure is featured in many Vietnamese folk songs and is considered an icon of the city.

Next, take a short drive to the tomb of Tu Duc, the “Poet Emperor.” A lover of romance and eastern philosophies, the emperor designed his own tomb within an enchanting garden of pine trees and frangipanis overlooking a lake. Stop by an incense-making village before continuing to the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh whose burial place reflects the European influences at play during his reign.

After lunch at a local restaurant, relax on a three-hour-and-a-half transfer to Hoi An, taking the route along the Hai Van Pass, a scenic stretch of road that offers spectacular views of the coastline.

In Danang, visit the Cham Museum which houses over 300 stone art treasures including sandstone carvings, alters, lings, garudas, ganeshas and images of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. Continue to the Marble Mountains, which are named after the five elements of Chinese philosophy - metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

Next, visit Non Nuoc, nicknamed China Beach, which was once a rest-and-relaxation area for U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War before you reach to Hoi An Ancient Town.

Check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.

DAY 3

After breakfast, head out on a 6-mile leisurely bicycle ride to a small vegetable farming village on the outskirts of Hoi An to meet a local vegetable farmer who works the land and grows various crops using organic and traditional methods. You are welcomed with a refreshing drink of freshly squeezed fruits.

Then roll up your sleeves to experience a typical day on the farm. Learn about the different farming equipment and their uses. Then join the farmers in the field to prepare the land for sewing or crop cultivation and help fertilize the soil using seaweed from the nearby river. Pick some vegetables and herbs from the garden and head to the kitchen to make a local specialty using the freshly harvested ingredients.

Learn how to paddle and steer while drifting down the river on the handcrafted raft and enjoy the natural scenery along the way.

After about an hour on the raft, you arrive at Tan Lap Bridge where your driver is waiting to meet you.
