Vietnam runs sixteen hundred kilometres from north to south and changes completely along the way. Trying to see it in a week means seeing airports.
Ten nights is the minimum we would suggest: Hanoi and the bay in the north, Hoi An and Hue in the middle, and either Saigon and the Mekong or a stretch of coast to finish.
A starting point, not a fixed departure. Every element below can be lengthened, shortened or swapped.
Every journey is quoted individually once we know your dates, party size and pace. The first conversation is free.
Vietnam has no single good season – the north is cool and damp in winter while the south is dry. Most nationalities need a visa or e-visa; we send you the current requirements when you book.
Hanoi and Saigon both have direct flights from India. Flying into one and out of the other saves a long backtrack.
An e-visa covers most nationalities and is issued online in about three working days.
Nothing unusual – bottled water and normal care with street food, which is otherwise one of the best reasons to go.
A light waterproof, and shoes you do not mind soaking in Hoi An during the wet months.
Add a week, drop the walking, bring the children, or start somewhere else entirely. We redraw every itinerary from scratch.
