Explore Vietnam on this 15-day all-inclusive tour covering Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sapa, Hoi An, Hue, and Ho Chi Minh City with expert guides, comfy hotels, and authentic experiences.
Travelers seeking a comprehensive, well-organized Vietnam adventure will find this 15-day full-package tour a compelling option. From bustling Hanoi to serene Halong Bay, from the mountain terraces of Sapa to the historic streets of Ho Chi Minh City, this itinerary promises a rich mix of sights, culture, and local flavor. The tour includes seamless transportation, carefully selected hotels, entrance fees, and guided excursions, making it ideal for those who want a stress-free way to see the highlights without sacrificing authenticity.
One of the standout features is the flexibility offered — travelers can choose to go north-to-south or vice versa, tailoring the experience to their preferences. We especially appreciate the balance of guided tours and free time, giving travelers space to explore at their own pace. However, a potential consideration is the itinerary’s packed schedule, which may feel a bit intensive for those looking for a leisurely trip.
This tour suits those who value authentic local encounters, good value for a comprehensive experience, and the convenience of an all-in-one package. It’s perfect for first-timers eager to tick off Vietnam’s must-see spots or seasoned travelers wanting a well-organized, in-depth exploration.
Looking for more options in Hanoi? Here are some other experiences worth considering.
Arriving in Hanoi, you’re welcomed and transferred to a hotel in the vibrant Old Quarter. The first day sets a relaxed tone, with the freedom to explore this historic district on your own. The Old Quarter’s maze of narrow streets, bustling markets, and centuries-old architecture offers an immediate taste of local life.
The tour’s strength here is the seamless start — no stress about transfers or orientation, just the chance to soak up the energy of Vietnam’s capital at your own pace.
Day 2 and 3 are dedicated to Halong Bay, arguably Vietnam’s most iconic attraction. You’ll be picked up early and whisked away to this UNESCO World Heritage site. Expect to cruise among thousands of limestone islands, each with its own caves and hidden corners. The boat trip is a highlight — picture junks gliding through emerald waters, with the opportunity to visit Sung Sot Cave, swim at Titop Island, and relax on deck.
The sunset party on the sundeck offers a perfect opportunity for photos and socializing. The optional kayaking around Drum Cave and visits to Ba Hang fishing village provide a more active experience, while the early morning Tai Chi session promises a peaceful start to the day.
A reviewer praised the guides’ ability to make these moments special, mentioning an appreciation for the fresh fruit carving demos and Vietnamese cooking class that added cultural flavor.
The journey continues to Sapa, where the cooler mountain air and terraced rice paddies offer a stark contrast to the coastal scenes. After a flight to Danang and transfer to Sapa, you’ll spend the afternoon in Cat Cat village, a lively spot that showcases local minority cultures and traditional crafts.
Day 5 features a trek through Lao Chai, Ta Van, and Giang Ta Chai villages — a chance to witness daily life, sample local apple wine, and admire spectacular mountain scenery. The trek involves some light walking but is rewarding for glimpsing authentic rural life. Travelers have noted the well-organized hikes and the opportunity to purchase hand-woven blankets directly from artisans.
Traveling south, the tour includes visits to Hoi An’s beautifully preserved Ancient Town, with its lantern-lined streets and historic architecture. The optional half-day trip to My Son Sanctuary reveals the ruins of Cham towers, offering a glimpse into ancient civilization. Our guide shared that the carvings and sculptures at My Son are a highlight for history buffs.
In Hoi An, you also get a free day to explore at your leisure — perfect for wandering the market, trying local dishes, or visiting tailor shops. The vibrant night market is a favorite among travelers, and many reviewers mention the excellent street food and peaceful atmosphere.
Next, a short journey brings you to Hue, Vietnam’s former imperial capital. The historic Citadel and Thien Mu Pagoda reflect Vietnam’s royal past — a must-see for history lovers. A boat ride on the Perfume River to Thien Mu Pagoda offers a scenic start to the day, and you’ll appreciate the guided insights into Vietnam’s dynastic history.
The final leg takes you to Ho Chi Minh City, a lively, bustling metropolis. After a flight from Hue, you’ll have free time to explore markets, cafes, or just soak in the energetic vibe. The Mekong Delta day tour is a standout — cruising along waterways, visiting floating markets, and tasting seasonal fruits in Tortoise Islet. Reviewers found the boat rides and local visits charming, emphasizing the peaceful beauty of the waterway life.
The Cu Chi Tunnels tour is both educational and intriguing — a look into Vietnam’s wartime ingenuity. Visitors are often surprised by the extent of the tunnel system and the history it represents. The rural scenery around Cu Chi adds another layer of authenticity.
Day 14 offers a relaxed, optional city tour or free time for shopping and exploring. On Day 15, you’re transferred to the airport, concluding a journey packed with highlights, cultural insights, and memorable moments.
This tour is priced at $1,499 per person, which, considering the all-inclusive nature — hotels, flights, transport, entrance fees, and meals — offers solid value. The inclusion of unique extras like a free SIM card, massage, and visa letter of arrival demonstrates thoughtful planning that simplifies international travel.
The accommodation in 3-star hotels ensures comfort without luxury prices, while the overnight Halong Bay cruise provides a special experience at a manageable cost. The group size is capped at 15 travelers, fostering a convivial atmosphere, and the guides are praised for their knowledge and friendly demeanor.
This tour appeals most to travelers who want a comprehensive, hassle-free Vietnam experience without sacrificing authenticity. It’s suited for those comfortable with a fairly full schedule, eager to see the top sights and enjoy local culture with knowledgeable guides.
