Journey through Vietnam
Tour membership limited to 24 guests from the Northwestern Alumni Association
Day 1: Depart U.S. for Hanoi, Vietnam
Day 2: Arrive Hanoi We arrive in the Vietnamese capital this evening, then transfer to our hotel.
Day 3: Hanoi This morning we take a walking tour of Ba Dinh Square, a popular complex of cultural and historic sites, including the marble and granite mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh, the Presidential Palace, and 1,000-year-old One Pillar Pagoda. Following lunch on our own we embark on an orientation tour of this French-accented city. We pass Hoan Kiem Lake; visit the marvelous Temple of Literature (c. 1070); and tour infamous Hoa Lo Prison, also known as the “Hanoi Hilton” during the Vietnam War. Later we walk the Ancient Quarter. Tonight we gather at a local restaurant for a welcome dinner. B,D
Day 4: Hanoi/Ha Long Bay Early this morning we depart on a full-day excursion to Ha Long Bay, a breathtaking waterway sprinkled with 3,000 islands and islets and surrounded by a fairytale landscape of limestone cliffs, secret grottoes and hidden caves. Our tour includes a boat ride and seafood lunch. B,L
Day 5: Hanoi/Da Nang We fly mid-day to Da Nang, Vietnam’s third largest city situated on the south central coast. Upon arrival, we tour the acclaimed Cham Museum, which celebrates the Cham people’s Hindu legacy with a fine collection of sculpture and artifacts. After reaching our beachfront hotel, the remainder of the day is at leisure in this splendid setting. B,D
Day 6: Da Nang/Hoi An This morning we visit nearby Hoi An. A UNESCO World
In a land of breathtaking natural beauty, abiding tradition and profoundly hospitable people, rewards abound for the thoughtful traveler. In our flexible and congenial group we encounter rewards aplenty on this comprehensive
journey, featuring all the highlights plus the beautiful, remote Mekong Delta, where we spend two days.

Your Small Group Tour Highlights
Cover photo: We visit the World Heritage site of Ha Long Bay on Day 4.
16 days from $4,147 total price from Los Angeles, San Francisco($3,595 air & land inclusive plus $552 airline taxes and departure fees)
Heritage site, Hoi An’s Old Town is a charming car-free pedestrian zone lined with tailors, shops and art galleries. This afternoon is at leisure to either remain in Hoi An on your own or return to our beachside resort for a relaxing interlude. B
Day 7: Da Nang A morning walking tour of a nearby farming settlement reveals the daily life of a local community up close. Here rice paddies occupy every spare patch of ground, water buffaloes plow the fields and villagers ride to market with produce piled high on their bicycles. Later we enjoy a cooking lesson and lunch in Hoi An. B,L
Day 8: Da Nang/Hue We depart this morning by coach for the ancient imperial city of Hue, whose palaces, temples and tombs evoke its past grandeur as home to emperors and mandarins. We explore the Imperial City — enjoying a traditional cyclo ride along the way — housing the Forbidden Purple City complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site. We also visit the Central Market, where locals buy fish, meat, produce and sundry goods. Tonight we enjoy a special Hue buffet, accompanied by a performance of traditional music. B,D
Day 9: Hue This morning we cruise along Hue’s Perfume River to peaceful Thien Mu Pagoda, a Buddhist monastery that ranks among the city’s oldest and most important monuments. Later we visit the palatial Tomb of Ming Mang (c. 1804), with its pavilions and courtyards modeled after the Ming Tombs of China. This afternoon we see the tombs of Tu Doc, a gem of royal architecture; and Khai Dinh, an elaborate mix of ancient and modern, European and Asian. B,L
Day 10: Hue/Mekong Delta/Can Tho Today is a travel day that begins with an early morning flight to Saigon. Upon arrival we transfer to a motorcoach for the three-hour drive south to the Mekong River town of Cai Be. From there we travel by coach and ferry to the busy river port and provincial capital of Can Tho. B,D
Day 11: Can Tho/Mekong Delta We rise early for today’s journey by boat to the bustling floating market at Cai Rang on the Mekong’s lower reaches. After lunch together at a local restaurant, we return to our hotel, where the remainder of the afternoon and evening are at leisure. B,L

Day 12: Mekong Delta/Saigon An hour-long coach ride brings us to the upper banks of the storied Mekong. Here we board motorized sampans for an up-close look at river life as we explore the maze of tributaries and inlets that lead to tiny settlements and villages populated by fishermen and farmers. After lunch at a local restaurant we continue by coach to Saigon (the name Ho Chi Minh City is used inter-changeably). We reach our hotel late afternoon; dinner is on our own in this vibrant city. B,L
Day 13: Saigon A morning tour includes the former Presidential Palace, which served as the South Vietnamese government’s wartime head-quarters. Now called Reunification Palace, it was here that the first Communist tanks rolled into Saigon on April 30, 1975; it remains preserved as a museum almost exactly as it was on that day. We also tour the History Museum, with its excellent display on the indigenous peoples of Vietnam. Later we attend a traditional water puppet performance. B,D
Day 14: Saigon This morning we visit the Cu Chi Tunnels, the infamous underground network from which North Vietnamese forces operated in wartime. This afternoon is at leisure; tonight we enjoy a farewell dinner. B,D
Day 15: Depart for U.S. Following a day at leisure for independent exploration, late this evening we depart for the airport and our over-night flight to the U.S. Our rooms are reserved for our late check-out. B
Day 16: Arrive U.S. We arrive in the U.S. and connect with our flights home.

Dear Northwestern University alumni and friends, Join us on a special 16-day journey to Vietnam, a country that captivates travelers with its enduring traditions, breathtaking natural beauty and warm hospitality. Our exclusive small group of no more than 24 guests will enjoy many personal encounters and a behind-the-scenes look at life in this inviting land.
Your odyssey begins in the French-accented capital of Hanoi, where you will tour historical sites and eat local delica-cies. From here, take a full-day excursion to beautiful Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site acclaimed for its limestone cliffs, grottoes and caves. Next, fl y south to Da Nang and tour the acclaimed Cham Museum, which celebrates the Cham people’s Hindu legacy. In the colorful village of Hoi An, cars are prohibited and ancient tradi-tions still hold sway. Walk in a rural farming community where rice paddies checker the land, water buffalo plow the fi elds and villagers bicycle to market. Then, travel to the ancient imperial capital of Hue — once home to emperors and mandarins — and cruise the Perfume River to peaceful Thien Mu Pagoda. During two days spent exploring the vital Mekong River Delta, the river life experience will leave an indelible impression. Conclude your journey in spirited Saigon (also known as Ho Chi Minh City).
This departure is exclusive to Northwestern. With space for only 24 guests in total, we expect this tour to fi ll quickly. Please call us today to reserve your place!
Sincerely,
Jay Mastin, GC10Senior DirectorNorthwestern Alumni Association
