Signature Journeys13We both enjoyed the range of experiences in Hanoi and Hoi an. And the many and varied transport options. My wife was dreading the overnight train but really enjoyed it. A little more information in pre trip info about the very clean toilets etc would have been reassuring from the outset. Hoi an was also very busy as it coincided with Reunification and May day celebrations. The Mekong delta involved a very early flight, long bus travel and a full day. There was little recovery for another very full day to Ho Chi Min city which was also a very full day.

The day at the Palace and tombs...far too much complicated detail to take on board....being in Hue I'd drop the Palace stuff and put in some Vietnam war memories, especially as it was kiw

Vietnam 11-14 day itineraries at a glance
Trip and guiding style
Vietnam trips can be fully guided or partly guided, which gives you flexibility in how much support you want day to day. Many tours use knowledgeable local guides for key visits and included sightseeing, while others include a tour leader throughout to manage logistics and keep the itinerary running smoothly. You can usually choose between a sociable group tour or a private tour tailored to your own party.
Accommodation
Accommodation differs by trip, but you can generally expect a broad spread of comfort levels and styles rather than a single standard throughout. Options may include 2-3 star to 5 star hotels, guesthouses, boats and homestays, and some routes use sleeper trains to cover longer distances efficiently. Many tours include an overnight cruise, and if operational changes occur, a comparable alternative is typically arranged so the overall experience stays consistent.
Trip pacing
Most 11-14 day Vietnam trips run at a medium pace, combining travel days with time to explore on foot and absorb each place properly. Some itineraries are more energetic, adding cycling, trekking or longer touring days, while others build in extra downtime on the coast or along the river. Fitness expectations can range from easy city walks to sustained rides or hillier hikes, so it’s worth matching the itinerary to your preferred activity level.
