Modules in Central and South Vietnam Central and South Vietnam tours

South and Central Vietnam are thrilling regions which promise adventure. Cultural highlights include the Cu Chi tunnels, the exotic Mekong Delta, the historic city of Hué and the charming port of Hoi An, home to an army of tailors ever-ready to size you up. These experiences guarantee to leave you wide-eyed and smiling.

Once you have reached culture saturation point, you can head to the various tropical islands and idyllic beach destinations. These are ideal for some well-deserved relaxation to end your fast-paced trip. You can opt to stay in the attractive beach resorts of Mui Ne or Phu Quoc Island or, if you're looking for a real castaway sensation, you can stay in a wooden bungalow on sleepy Palm Island.

Please take account of the best times for travelling in the region. After all, if you end up on a beach during the monsoon, both your book and your spirits will get soggy.
