About this trip
This eight-day route through northern and central Vietnam skips the tourist trail for back roads, market towns and war history, ending on the coast in Hoi An.
You start with a night out in Hanoi before heading into the countryside to visit pagodas, fish markets and the Vinh Moc Tunnels, a vast wartime bomb shelter.
The pace picks up with an open-top jeep road trip past the An Bang Cemetery, a swim at Lang Co beach and the views along Hai Van Pass, before the trip wraps up in Hoi An.
