About this trip
This trip takes you from Cambodia into Vietnam by way of the Mekong Delta, covering a lot of ground across river country, cities and coast in just over a week.
You move from the Delta's waterways and villages into Ho Chi Minh City, then north to Hanoi and out onto Halong Bay for an overnight cruise, with a wartime history stop at the Cu Chi Tunnels along the way.
Food and local life get proper attention too, with a cooking class in the Delta and a street food tour in Ho Chi Minh City.
What you'll do
- Explore the waterways and rural life of the Mekong Delta
- Take a street food tour and cooking class in the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City
- Walk the wartime tunnel network at Cu Chi
- Spend time in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi
- Overnight cruise on Halong Bay
- Covers Cambodia and Vietnam in 8 days, so expect a fast pace with frequent moves between cities and regions
- Includes an internal flight or long transfer to get from the south up to Hanoi and Halong Bay, given the distances involved
Worth it if you want two countries, cultural depth, and guides who genuinely care. Think twice if you need a guaranteed group vibe or prefer longer stays in one place.
- Guides consistently praised for clear English, local knowledge, and going beyond expectations to create memorable experiences.
- Seamless logistics: border crossing handled, USD exchange arranged, daily confirmations with guide names, prompt pre-tour comms from Danny.
- Ha Long Bay cruise is one night only; multiple reviewers wished for two nights given how stunning and underexplored it felt.
- Low season gets private tours; high season likely means larger groups, which alters the intimate experience some reviewers appreciated.
