About this trip
Ten days across Vietnam, running from the old streets of Hanoi down to the Mekong Delta, taking in the big-name sights along the way without lingering too long in any one place.
You'll cruise Halong Bay overnight, wander Hoi An's lantern-lit lanes, dig into wartime history in Ho Chi Minh City, and end on the water in the Mekong Delta. It's a straightforward north-to-south sweep hitting the country's highlights.
Fully guided throughout, so logistics are taken care of and you can focus on what's in front of you.
What you'll do
- Visit Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, Temple of Literature and Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi
- Overnight cruise on Halong Bay with a seafood dinner on board
- Boat trip on the Thu Bon River to Kim Bong Village's woodworkers and shipbuilders
- Explore the Cham ruins at My Son Sanctuary
- Tour the Cu Chi Tunnels and War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City
- Cruise the Mekong Delta and see riverside village life
- Covers a lot of ground north to south, so expect flights or long drives between stops
- Mixes history-heavy sites (war museums, tunnels, ancient ruins) with more relaxed boat cruises
- Suits travellers who want a broad first look at Vietnam rather than deep time in one region
Worth it if you want smooth logistics, knowledgeable guides, and a well-paced itinerary. Think twice if you need airport hand-holding or prefer hotels with character over convenience.
- Guides consistently praised as knowledgeable, engaging, and professional across all tour segments.
- Airport arrival support missing: one traveller landed in Saigon but had to arrange own transport to domestic airport for Hanoi flight.
- Coordinator Danny's WhatsApp communication and clear briefings made logistics straightforward and stress-free.
- Ho Chi Minh City hotel was cramped with poor greenery; Hoi An hotel was excellent. Quality varies by location.
