About this trip
This 15-day trip runs the length of Vietnam, from the canals of the Mekong Delta in the south up to Hanoi and Halong Bay in the north, taking in Hoi An and Hue along the way.
It's a easy-paced, fully guided group trip built around the country's set-piece sights, with a mix of history, culture, and landscape rather than one single focus.
Expect a good deal of moving between regions, with time spent on the water, in old towns, and around former imperial and trading centres.
What you'll do
- Explore the Mekong Delta by boat and by bike, visiting local river communities
- See the floating markets on the Mekong River
- Wander the old Cham-influenced streets of Hoi An
- Learn about Vietnam's imperial history in Hue
- Kayak in Halong Bay
- Take a rowing boat with a local rower through Tam Coc
- Covers a lot of ground south to north, so expect regular travel between regions
- Easy pace overall, suited to travellers who want the classic Vietnam sights without a physically demanding itinerary
- Works well for families and groups given the guided, easy-going style
Worth it if you want Vietnam sorted without daily stress and don't mind shared group tours. Think twice if you're a light sleeper or expect pristine environments.
- Agent Manh is genuinely responsive via WhatsApp, rearranges itineraries, sends reminders, and handles problems in real time throughout.
- Each city has real free time to explore independently; daily tours use local guides born in those areas with authentic stories.
- Overnight train from Hue to Hanoi is crowded with shared bathrooms, bumpy, and people will open your locked cabin door repeatedly.
- Satellite tour means different group members on every bus; window upgrades cost extra ten dollars but don't guarantee four-star rooms.
