About this trip
This 13-day route runs the length of Vietnam, from the old quarter of Hanoi down to Ho Chi Minh City, mixing city time with mountains, coast and countryside.
You'll trek around Sapa and meet local villagers, cruise the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay, and wander the old town streets of Hoi An before ending in Ho Chi Minh City, where the war history comes into focus.
It's a broad introduction to the country — history, landscape and daily life all get a look in, rather than settling into just one region.
What you'll do
- Explore Hanoi's old quarter and temples
- Trek through the hills around Sapa and visit local villages
- Cruise past the limestone islands of Ha Long Bay
- Wander the old town in Hoi An
- Learn about Ho Chi Minh City's wartime history
- Covers a lot of ground north to south, so expect regular travel days between stops

Worth it if you want seamless Vietnam coverage with standout local guides and proactive support. Think twice if you need flexibility—it's a set itinerary with group logistics.
- Tour managers like Long Pham provide daily WhatsApp check-ins, pick-up reminders, and instant problem-solving throughout.
- Small groups of 8–10 people with region-specific guides mean you get expert local knowledge without massive crowds.
- All airport transfers, hotels, meals, and major activities included; no hidden costs or logistical scrambling required.
- New groups form at each destination, so you may travel with different people daily; suits social travellers, not fixed-friendship groups.
