Fascinating Highlights of Vietnam

Hanoi → Ho Chi Minh City 7 days Up to 12

About this trip

Seven days that cover Vietnam's north-south spread in one go, from Hanoi's old streets to the Mekong Delta's waterways. It's a fast overview trip built around the country's best-known sights rather than deep immersion in any one place.

You'll take in history and culture in equal measure — imperial and revolutionary Hanoi, wartime sites around Ho Chi Minh City, and a night on a traditional junk in Halong Bay. The Mekong Delta closes things out with a slower, rural pace after the cities.

What you'll do

  • Explore Hanoi's Old Quarter and visit the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and Temple of Literature
  • Overnight on a traditional junk boat cruising Halong Bay
  • Visit the War Remnants Museum and Reunification Palace in Ho Chi Minh City
  • Descend into the Cu Chi Tunnels used by the Viet Cong
  • Boat trip through the Mekong Delta's floating markets and villages
Good to know
  • Covers a lot of ground in a week, expect a packed schedule with internal flights or long transfers between regions
  • Mixes city sightseeing with one overnight cruise and one rural boat day, so the pace shifts throughout
