Essence of Vietnam: Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay & Saigon in

Hanoi → Ho Chi Minh City 7 days Up to 22

About this trip

Seven days across Vietnam, from Hanoi in the north down to Saigon in the south, taking in the limestone landscapes of Ninh Binh, a cruise on Halong Bay, and the history and pace of the south.

You start with the countryside around Hoa Lu and Trang An, boat through Mua Cave, then head out to Halong Bay before flying south to Saigon, where the Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta round things out.

It's a fairly full itinerary that covers a lot of ground in a week, well suited to those wanting a first overview of Vietnam rather than a slow, single-region stay.

What you'll do

  • Explore the limestone karsts of Hoa Lu and Trang An
  • Boat through Mua Cave
  • Cruise Halong Bay
  • Visit the Cu Chi Tunnels near Saigon
  • Spend a day exploring the Mekong Delta
Good to know
  • Guaranteed to run regardless of group size
  • Fast-paced — you cover Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay and Saigon in a week
  • Most days include breakfast and lunch, with one dinner included on the Halong Bay leg
