Helpful Planning Tips

Vietnam works particularly well as a north to south journey. Many travellers start in Hanoi, include Halong Bay and central Vietnam, then finish in Ho Chi Minh City or the Mekong Delta.

You can also combine Vietnam with Cambodia, especially when adding a Mekong River cruise, which is one of the most popular ways to explore the region.

If you are not sure whether to travel independently, join an escorted tour or extend your trip with the Mekong, that is exactly where we can help. Vietnam is flexible and works well in several different formats.

Vietnam holidays offer a memorable mix of scenery, culture, history and everyday travel moments. From limestone karsts in Halong Bay to lantern-lit streets in Hoi An and the energy of Ho Chi Minh City, the country delivers huge variety in one journey.

Whether you want to travel north to south, combine Vietnam with Cambodia, relax on the coast or add a Mekong River cruise, Vietnam offers huge flexibility and some of the most rewarding travel experiences in Southeast Asia.
