Vietnam Reunification Express Tour
Tour highlights : Originally named Transindochinois, this is the train which links Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Construction of the railway commenced in 1899 and was not completed until 1936, but for many years the service was suspended due to various wars. In 1975, the re-establishment of the rail link between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City became a critical project as a symbol of unity for all Vietnamese, hence the name Reunification Express. Today, the railway offers tourists an excellent, comfortable and time-saving mode of transport, allowing you to make the most of your holiday as you travel from south to north, experiencing the wealth of beauty, culture and adventure that Vietnam has to offer.
