Essential Vietnam In 6 Day Tour

Ho Chi Minh City → Hanoi 6 days Up to 15

About this trip

Six days is a tight window to cover Vietnam, but this route hits the big three: Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Halong Bay, with a detour into the Mekong Delta thrown in.

You get a mix of city time, a boat trip through the delta's waterways, and a cruise on Halong Bay, so the pace shifts between urban sightseeing and slower, scenic stretches.

It's pitched as an easy, partially guided trip, which suits a first look at Vietnam rather than a deep dive into any one region.

What you'll do

  • Explore the streets and history of Ho Chi Minh City
  • Take a boat trip through the Mekong Delta's waterways
  • See traditional local life and river communities in the Delta
  • Get a feel for Hanoi's cultural sites
  • Cruise the limestone waters of Halong Bay
Good to know
  • Six days across three regions means travel days are built in — expect a flight or transfer between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi
  • Rated easy and partially guided, so some free time is left for you to explore independently
  • Suits families and those wanting a first taste of Vietnam rather than an in-depth exploration of any single area
