About this trip
Fourteen days walking the length of Vietnam, from Hanoi down to Saigon, mixing city walking tours in bucket-list spots with rural treks through tribal villages and jungle temples.
Expect a real mix of pace and place: cruising Halong Bay's limestone karsts on a traditional junk, wandering Hoi An's old merchant streets, and overnighting in a stilt house rather than a hotel.
Food is a running theme throughout, with street food stalls and meals cooked by local families giving you a proper taste of the country as you move through it.
What you'll do
- Cruise Halong Bay's limestone karsts aboard a traditional junk boat
- Wander Hoi An's tube houses, canals and old merchant streets
- Trek rural paths to tribal villages and jungle temples
- Spend a night in a traditional stilt house
- Eat at street food stalls and share meals with local families
- Travel overland the length of the country, Hanoi to Saigon
- Covers the whole country in 14 days, so you're on the move often with regular changes of base
- Built around walking rather than bus sightseeing, so a reasonable level of fitness helps
- Fully guided throughout, in a small group
Worth it if you want a properly guided walking tour with genuine cultural immersion. Think twice if you prefer lingering in one place—the itinerary moves fast.
- Guide consistently went extra mile, adapted trip to group interests, and kept logistics smooth throughout.
- Homestays and Pu Luong retreat standouts; paddy field hikes, Halong Bay swimming, and food quality genuinely praised.
- Hoi An visit too short for most; reviewers wanted more time in this particular location.
- Covers significant ground—Pu Luong, Halong Bay, Mekong Delta, Hue, Hoi An—so expect varied but packed days.
