About this trip
This is a straightforward run through Vietnam's big-hitters, starting in Hanoi and finishing in Ho Chi Minh City, with Halong Bay, Hoi An and the Mekong Delta filled in along the way.
It's built as a package rather than a deep dive — flights, transport, guides, meals and accommodation (including a night on a cruise in Halong Bay) are all sorted for you, so the logistics stay simple.
At 10 days covering north to south, you'll cover a lot of ground and see the country's contrasts, from Hanoi's old quarter to the canals of the Mekong Delta.
What you'll do
- Cruise the limestone karsts of Halong Bay
- Wander Hanoi's old quarter
- Explore Hoi An's old town
- Take a boat trip through the Mekong Delta
- Spend time in Ho Chi Minh City
- Partially guided — some sections are led, others more independent
- Covers a long north-to-south route in 10 days, so pace is brisk
- Internal flights are included to cover the longer distances
Worth it if you want excellent value covering multiple Vietnamese regions with reliable guides and logistics. Think twice if you need seamless pre-tour communication or prefer one guide throughout.
- Guides are genuinely knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining; hotels well-positioned near main sights.
- Covers serious ground: Halong Bay, Phoquoc, Ho Chi Minh, My Son, Cu Chi Tunnels, diverse activities.
- Pre-tour communication can be slow and disorganised; you'll coordinate with multiple people daily.
- Different guide each day means learning names repeatedly; accents and pace vary; takes 4-5 days to adjust.
