From Heritage to Paradise: Vietnam & Thailand Tour 18-Day

Hanoi → Phuket 18 days Up to 12

About this trip

Eighteen days across Vietnam and Thailand, covering a lot of ground from northern heritage sites down to southern beaches. You get the full spread — Hanoi's old streets, Halong Bay's limestone cliffs, Hoi An's lantern-lit lanes, and Bangkok's temples, before finishing on Thailand's islands.

It's a broad, guided introduction to the region rather than a deep dive into any one place, moving between history, countryside and coast at a steady clip.

Expect guided city tours, a couple of boat trips, and one night afloat on Halong Bay, with comfortable hotels along the way.

What you'll do

  • Overnight cruise among the limestone cliffs of Halong Bay
  • Wander Hoi An's old town and take a boat on the Thu Bon River
  • Explore the 4th-century Hindu ruins at My Son Sanctuary
  • Visit Hue's imperial city and former royal grounds
  • Descend into the Cu Chi Tunnels used during the Vietnam War
  • Cruise the Mekong Delta and swim off Phi Phi Island
Good to know
  • Covers two countries in 18 days, so it's a fast-moving itinerary with frequent changes of base
  • Mixes cultural sites, war history and beach time, so suits travellers who want variety over a single focus
