About this trip
This 11-day route runs the length of Vietnam, from Hanoi in the north down to the Mekong Delta in the south, taking in the country's history, food, and landscapes along the way.
You'll spend a night on the water in Halong Bay, walk through Hue's old imperial city, and get a feel for wartime history at the Cu Chi Tunnels before ending in the pace of Ho Chi Minh City.
It's a broad, sightseeing-led itinerary that suits people who want a proper overview of Vietnam rather than settling into one region.
What you'll do
- Overnight cruise among the limestone islets of Halong Bay
- Wander the imperial Citadel and Royal Tombs of Hue
- Visit the 4th-century Hindu temple ruins at My Son Sanctuary
- Explore the Cu Chi Tunnels used by Viet Cong soldiers
- Cruise the Mekong Delta and visit local villages
- See Saigon's landmarks, including Notre Dame Cathedral and the War Remnants Museum
- Covers a lot of ground in 11 days, so expect regular changes of city and base
- Mixes history, culture, and some heavier wartime sites, worth knowing if travelling with children
- Suited to those who want a broad introduction to Vietnam rather than a slow-paced trip
Worth it if you want seamless logistics and strong local guides. Think twice if Ho Chi Minh City hotel quality matters to you.
- Mr. Danny and Tony provide 24/7 WhatsApp support; transfers consistently on-time despite chaotic traffic.
- Included lunches are genuinely excellent; breakfasts cater to dietary requests; water bottles stocked daily.
- Ho Chi Minh City hotel fell short of 4-star standards despite price; others exceeded expectations.
- Pace balances structured morning/afternoon tours with free evenings; local guides are knowledgeable and personable.
