Cruise Halong Bay, explore Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and slow down in Hoi An
Vietnam tours combine big city energy, quiet waterways and layers of history, making it possible to experience a remarkable amount in one well organised trip. Wander Hanoi’s Old Quarter, dip into temples and markets, and then change pace on an overnight Halong Bay cruise, watching limestone peaks glide past from the deck. Many itineraries continue through central Vietnam to explore Hue’s imperial heritage and Hoi An’s lantern-lit lanes, before finishing in Ho Chi Minh City with popular day trips to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta. Choose from group tours, private tours or short city stays, balancing guided highlights with enough free time to explore independently.

Vietnam tours at a glance
Trip and guiding style
Vietnam tours are available in fully guided and partially guided formats, which means you can choose the level of structure and support that suits you best. Many itineraries use knowledgeable local, English-speaking guides for key sightseeing, while transport and connections are arranged in advance so travel between regions feels straightforward.
Accommodation
Accommodation depends on the itinerary and can range from 2 to 3 star hotels through to 3 star, 4 star and 5 star hotels, depending on the style you select. Some tours also include guesthouses, homestays, hostels, overnight trains or boats, and standards can vary by country and by location.
Trip pacing
The pace is typically moderate, although some days start early and there can be longer road journeys or flights when moving between north, central and south Vietnam. Most itineraries balance guided visits with pockets of free time for meals, shopping and downtime, particularly in places such as Hoi An and Halong Bay.

What you'll see in Vietnam
From Hanoi and Halong Bay to Hue, Hoi An and the Mekong Delta
Vietnam tours often begin in Hanoi, where busy streets, lakes and major cultural sites set the scene, before continuing to Halong Bay for sweeping seascapes and distinctive limestone formations. Many itineraries then travel south through Vietnam, stopping in Hue for imperial history and in Hoi An for atmospheric lanes, tailors, and relaxed evenings along the waterfront. In the south, Ho Chi Minh City typically includes landmark buildings and museums, with the option to visit the Cu Chi Tunnels for a closer look at wartime life and ingenuity. A day in the Mekong Delta changes the rhythm again, with small boat rides, islands and quieter canals. Some tours also add Ninh Binh, Mai Chau or Sapa, where green scenery, mountain air and village life take centre stage.

Why visit Vietnam
Big cities, calm waterways and standout history, brought together in one trip
Vietnam is ideal for travellers who want genuine variety, and a tour helps the different regions feel connected rather than complicated. In the north, Hanoi is lively and full of everyday local life, pairing naturally with the calm of Halong Bay where an overnight cruise slows everything down. Central Vietnam offers a distinct change of scenery again, with Hue’s royal sites and Hoi An’s preserved old town, excellent food and atmospheric evenings by the river. Further south, Ho Chi Minh City brings modern pace alongside museums and historic landmarks, while nearby excursions to the Cu Chi Tunnels and the Mekong Delta add context, landscape and insight into Vietnam’s past and present. From short city breaks to longer journeys, Vietnam tours work well for first-time visitors and for those returning to see more, and many itineraries can also extend into Cambodia, Laos or Thailand while keeping Vietnam at the heart of the trip.
Frequently asked questions
Are Vietnam tours fully guided or partially guided?
Vietnam tours include both fully guided and partially guided options. Fully guided trips usually have a tour leader throughout, whereas partially guided itineraries rely on local guides for key sights and build in more independent time between stops. The specific guiding style is outlined on each itinerary.
Do Vietnam tours include Halong Bay cruises?
Many Vietnam tours include Halong Bay, commonly with an overnight cruise. This is one of the best ways to appreciate the limestone scenery at a slower pace, with meals on board and, where included, activities such as kayaking or cave visits. Check each itinerary for the cruise duration and inclusions.
Which cities are commonly included on Vietnam tours?
Many Vietnam tours include Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and a large number also visit Hue and Hoi An as part of a north-to-south route. If you prefer a shorter break, you can also choose city stays that focus on one area with guided sightseeing on selected days.
Is the Mekong Delta included on Vietnam tours?
The Mekong Delta features on many Vietnam tours, especially those that include Ho Chi Minh City. Visits often involve boat trips on rivers and canals, plus time in delta towns such as Can Tho, although the exact route and activities vary by itinerary.
Are there group and private Vietnam tours?
Yes, Vietnam tours are available as both group and private options. Group tours follow a set plan with other travellers, while private tours are arranged for your party only; in both cases, itineraries can include guiding, transport and accommodation, depending on the trip.
What is a city explorer tour in Vietnam?
A city explorer tour is based in one location, so you stay in the same accommodation each night and take day trips out and back. In Vietnam, this style works particularly well in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, combining guided visits with time to explore at your own pace.
What is the group size like on Vietnam tours?
Group size varies by trip, with some Vietnam tours operating in smaller groups and others running larger, particularly on popular routes and in peak periods. If you want the most flexible experience, private tours are limited to your booked party and include guides for the sightseeing that is part of the itinerary.
Is Vietnam suitable for families on a guided tour?
Vietnam offers tours that welcome families, including selected itineraries designed with younger travellers in mind. Minimum age requirements and any family-specific details vary, so it is best to check the Vietnam tour page for the trip you are considering.
What meals are included on Vietnam tours?
Meal inclusions depend on the itinerary, although many Vietnam tours include breakfast and some also include lunches or dinners, often on excursions or cruises. Vietnam is a standout food destination, and free evenings are a good opportunity to try local restaurants and street food.
Do Vietnam tours only stay within Vietnam?
Some Vietnam tours are entirely within Vietnam, while others combine Vietnam with nearby countries such as Cambodia, Laos or Thailand. The tour notes and itinerary will confirm exactly which countries are included.
