The complete Vietnam journey for travellers with two weeks or more. Over 14 Nights / 15 Days you trek between rice terraces and minority villages in Sapa, sleep aboard a boutique junk in Ha Long Bay, step into the imperial past of Hue, cross the Hai Van Pass to lantern-lit Hoi An and finish in the energy of Saigon and the waterways of the Mekong Delta — at an unhurried pace with private guides throughout.
Welcome to Vietnam! Your guide meets you at Noi Bai Airport and drives you to your Old Quarter hotel. In the evening, an easy walk around Hoan Kiem Lake and a welcome dinner of northern specialities.
Visit the Temple of Literature, the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum complex and the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. In the late afternoon, a guided street-food walk with bun cha, banh cuon and the famous egg coffee.
Drive on the modern expressway into the northern mountains (about 5.5 hours). After lunch, a gentle walk to Cat Cat village and a first view of the Muong Hoa valley.
A full-day guided trek (about 12 km, moderate) through the rice terraces of the Muong Hoa valley to Lao Chai and Ta Van, meeting Black Hmong and Giay families and enjoying a home-cooked lunch on the way.
Morning at leisure or ride the cable car to Fansipan, the highest peak in Indochina (optional). Afternoon drive back to Hanoi (about 5.5 hours) for the night.
Board your boutique junk and cruise among limestone karsts. Kayak into a hidden lagoon, visit a cave and enjoy sunset drinks on deck before a seafood dinner on board.
Tai chi on deck at sunrise and brunch while sailing back. Transfer to Hanoi airport for the short flight to Hue, the former imperial capital, and check in to your riverside hotel.
Explore the Imperial Citadel and Forbidden Purple City, the Thien Mu Pagoda by dragon boat on the Perfume River and the elegant tomb of Emperor Tu Duc. Evening at leisure.

Flight from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City. Afternoon city tour: the Central Post Office, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the War Remnants Museum and Ben Thanh Market.
Morning visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, then an afternoon free for shopping or a spa. In the evening, dinner on a rooftop with views over the city.
Drive to the Mekong Delta and explore coconut canals by sampan, visit family workshops and orchards, and cycle along quiet paths. Overnight in a riverside lodge with dinner.
