About this trip
This 11-day trip runs the length of Vietnam, from Ha Noi in the north down to Ho Chi Minh City, taking in the country's history, food and landscapes along the way.
You'll cruise Ha Long Bay, wander Ha Noi's Old Quarter and spend time in Hoi An, then head south to the Mekong Delta and the Cu Chi Tunnels. A cooking class and a visit to the ancient My Son Sanctuary add some depth beyond the sightseeing.
It's a broad sweep of the country rather than a slow look at one region, suited to travellers who want the highlights of Vietnam covered in one go.
What you'll do
- Cruise the waters of Ha Long Bay
- Explore Ha Noi's Old Quarter on foot
- Wander the old town of Hoi An
- Take a regional cooking class
- Visit the ancient My Son Sanctuary
- See the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels
- Covers the full length of Vietnam, so expect a fair amount of travel between stops
- Partially guided, with a mix of led activities and time on your own
- Suits families and groups as well as solo travellers
Worth it if you want a guided introduction to Vietnam's highlights with reliable logistics. Think twice if you prefer independent exploration or have strong preferences about pacing.
- Guides consistently knowledgeable, funny, and fluent English speakers who made food experiences and cultural moments genuinely memorable.
- Ha Long Bay and Hoi An standout stops; company responsive to requests like late starts and flexible with personalised itinerary tweaks.
- Danang stop feels rushed—only beach time, no Ba Na Hills access, and flight times clash with exploring properly.
- Temple fatigue is real by the end; heavy itinerary means you could visit most sites solo, so guided value depends on wanting curated experiences.
