Home/Tours/Explore Vietnam by Train: An In-Depth Journey
About This Tour
A 16-day journey built around Vietnam's rail network — the Reunification Line linking Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Da Nang, Hoi An, and Ho Chi Minh City — plus a Lan Ha Bay cruise, the Cu Chi Tunnels, wildlife trekking in Cat Tien National Park, and beach time on Con Dao Island. Several legs of this route run by train along Vietnam's Reunification Line, including an overnight sleeper, on regular scheduled services shared with other passengers — private transfers and a private guide handle everything else, with a domestic flight covering the final leg out to Con Dao Island.
