About this trip
Twelve days across Vietnam, running the length of the country from Hanoi down to the Mekong Delta. You'll take in old capitals, limestone karst scenery, and both the pace of the countryside and the energy of city streets.
Expect a mix of history, food and landscape rather than one single focus — a boat trip through Tam Coc's rice paddies, a night on Ha Long Bay, the quiet lanes of Hoi An's old town, and the busier rhythm of Ho Chi Minh City by the end.
It's a broad introduction to the country, well suited to a first visit, with guided sections alongside time to explore on your own.
What you'll do
- Cruise the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay
- Row or cruise through the rice paddies and caves of Hoa Lu Tam Coc
- Wander the old town streets of Hoi An
- Explore the former imperial capital of Hue
- Visit the waterways and markets of the Mekong Delta

- Partially guided — some days are led, others left free for you to explore
- Covers a lot of ground over 12 days, with several changes of base
- Rated easy, so it suits families and those new to independent travel in Southeast Asia
