Vietnam Highlights 14 days
[updated 2024]

One of our best-selling tours, this comprehensive 14-day itinerary covers key destinations in Vietnam, including Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City, and the Mekong Delta. Experience the rich culture, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities that make Vietnam such a captivating destination.
Our tip: If you're keen on capturing the beauty of golden rice paddies in Sapa, consider traveling in August. Sapa town is nestled at the head of a deep valley adorned with magnificent rice terraces that have been farmed for centuries. Backdrops don’t get much more spectacular.
Start off in Hanoi, famous for its bustling streets and mouth-watering street food such as Bun Cha. Hanoi is also the birthplace of Pho, the famous Vietnamese noodle soup that you've probably heard of. The holiday then continues with a trip to Sapa, a beautiful mountainous area that you can reach from Hanoi either by driving or taking a luxury overnight train. Of course, any visit to northern Vietnam can't be complete without an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise; one of the things our clients love is to relax and soak in the view from their private balcony.

Next, visit Hue, famous for its ancient citadels and royal tombs. Founded in 1687, Hue has always been considered the soul of Vietnam - the center for scholars, poets, philosophers, and emperors. From Hue, it's only a 3.5-hour drive to Hoi An, a city that was once voted the 'best city on earth' by readers of Wanderlust Magazine. Hoi An is renowned for its cobbled streets and distinctive yellow shopfronts adorned with colorful lanterns, and delicious Vietnamese Banh Mi that you will see at every street corner.

From Hoi An, it is an hour flight to Ho Chi Minh city (or Saigon), a city which is surprisingly under many travelers' radar but exudes so much charm, hospitality, and a fabulous selection of southern cuisine. Wrap up your holiday with a visit to the Mekong Delta, famous for its fruit farms, flower orchards, labyrinthine canals, and delightful floating markets .

Your experiences includes:

  • Stroll through the bustling streets of Hanoi and experience the excitement of a cyclo ride
  • Learn how to cook authentic Vietnamese food such as Pho & Bun Cha
  • Visit the most beautiful valleys in Sapa, including off the beaten track villages
  • Cruise through the enchanting World Heritage site of Halong Bay
  • Immerse in the regal history of Hue, with ancient citadels and royal tombs. Founded in 1687, Hue has always been considered the soul of Vietnam - the center for scholars, poets, philosophers and emperors.
  • Explore the timeless charm of Hoi An, an UNESCO World Heritage site
  • Explore the War Remnants Museum, where your guide will narrate the city's darkest and most tragic moments during the Vietnam War
  • Witness the vibrant floating market in the Mekong Delta

If you want, you can add a few nights at the beautiful island of Phu Quoc (1h flight from Ho Chi Minh city) at the end. We recommend this option if you travel between November - April when Phu Quoc is at its best weather wise. Alternatively, you can also fly to Siem Reap (1h10m flight from Ho Chi Minh city) and spend a few days exploring the majestic temples of Angkor.
