About this trip
This 10-day route runs the length of Vietnam, from the old streets of Hanoi down to the canals of the Mekong Delta, covering a lot of ground in a short time.
You'll move between hotel options at 3, 4 or 5 star level, with flights and a train covering the longer stretches so you spend more time seeing places than getting between them.
It's a sightseeing-heavy itinerary that suits travellers who want the country's headline stops ticked off in one go rather than a slow, deep dive into any one region.
What you'll do
- Explore Hanoi's Old Quarter
- Cruise the limestone karsts of Halong Bay
- Wander the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An
- Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City
- Take a boat through the Mekong Delta
- Stop in Da Nang along the central coast
- Fast-paced — you cover Hanoi to the Mekong Delta in 10 days
- Uses a mix of flights and train travel between regions
- Hotel star rating is a choice, so comfort level varies depending on what you pick
Worth it if you're flexible about train conditions and want excellent itinerary planning. Think twice if you need privacy on overnight trains or dislike surprise extra costs.
- Mike's itinerary planning and WhatsApp support made the trip stress-free from airport pickup to drop-off.
- Overnight train bunks mixed gender with filthy washrooms, no smoking areas, and SIM cards charged extra despite promises.
- Halong Bay and Hoi An are genuinely stunning; hotel breakfasts excellent and guides knowledgeable about Vietnamese culture.
- Accommodation described as average; some reviewers faced unexpected extra charges despite thinking costs were settled upfront.
