You’ll be heading off the tourists trail down the winding streets of the city. You’ll see family run food stalls and sample a lot of Vietnamese cuisine. You won’t want to start the day with a big breakfast.

Head to Saigon airport and board a 3:30 hour flight to Danang airport. When you’ve checked into your hotel you’ll join a walking tour of Hoi An, an ancient city that’s very well preserved, even after the destruction of the Vietnam War. It’s almost like you step back in time in this city.
