From south to north, Vietnam is a wonderful kaleidoscope of fascinating sights, diverse landscapes and exciting rail adventures. Step aboard privately chartered rail carriages for a memorable 17-day rail tour that explores world heritage listed old towns, ancient citadels, jungle retreats and rural villages of this friendly land.

Continue riding the rails to wander the Hue and Hoi An old towns', tour the Danang Railway Workshops, see karst mountains and caves at Phong Nha National Park and take a traditional rowboat past limestone peaks and lush green rice paddy fields in Ninh Binh.
