About this trip
Seven days across Vietnam's biggest names, from Hanoi in the north down to Ho Chi Minh City in the south, with a cruise through Ha Long Bay and a stop in Hoi An along the way.
It's a fast tour covering a lot of ground, built around the classic highlights rather than off-the-beaten-track spots, so it suits a first look at the country.
Rated easy and partially guided, with a mix of group activities and free time to explore each place at your own pace.
What you'll do
- Walk the old quarter streets of Hanoi
- Cruise the limestone karsts of Ha Long Bay
- Wander the lantern-lit old town of Hoi An
- Explore Ho Chi Minh City
- Covers four cities in seven days, so expect to keep moving
- Partially guided — some activities are led, others left free for you to explore
Cheapest live departure per day, in £, recorded by our tracker since 16 Jul. Never a brochure “was” price.
Your free day in Hoi An
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Hoi An — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you want a well-paced intro to Vietnam with reliable logistics and a standout local team. Think twice if you prefer a slower, deeper dive into fewer places.
- Local guides and coordinators (Thang, Diep, Long) handle everything brilliantly with daily WhatsApp support.
- Cycling villages and Mekong Delta activities feel genuinely authentic, not tourist-trap theatre.
- Seven days covers north to south; pacing is brisk but doesn't feel rushed if you're fit.
- Hotel upgrades to 4-star cost extra; base package likely standard mid-range properties elsewhere.
