About this trip
Eight days across Vietnam, from Hanoi in the north down to Saigon in the south, with Halong Bay and the Mekong Delta in between.
You start in Hanoi, taking in the old city before heading out to Halong Bay to cruise among the limestone karsts. The trip ends in Saigon, where past and present sit side by side, and a Mekong Delta boat trip gives you time with local families over traditional food.
It's an easy-paced route built around the country's headline sights rather than off-the-beaten-track exploring.
