Vietnam in a Week: Halong Bay, Hanoi & Street-Food Feasts
From Hanoi street life to Halong Bay cruises and easy beach days
Vietnam suits a 7-10 day trip particularly well, giving you enough time for lively cities, calm stretches on the water, and a few unhurried hours by the coast. Many routes connect Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with well known highlights such as Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue and the Mekong Delta, so each day feels distinct without constantly rushing from place to place. You can choose guided tours, private trips, or city and beach breaks, and many plans also build in walks, food stops, bike rides, or downtime on My Khe Beach. Some holidays form part of a wider Southeast Asia journey and may extend into Cambodia or Thailand, while your Vietnam days remain centred on the country’s most memorable sights and everyday local life.

All the activities and guides were good. No one else in our group. Food that was included was very nice. Hotels clean, comfortable with good service. The activity that surprised me was how interesting the fish farm was.

Trip and guiding style
