Our 17-day itineraries are typically structured around 3 phases: 6 days in northern Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay), 5 days on the central heritage coast (Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, Phong Nha), and 6 days in southern Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh City, Mekong Delta, Phu Quoc island). Domestic flights connect each phase to minimise overland travel time.

All 17-day Vietnam tours include 16 nights of accommodation, daily breakfast and specified meals, private vehicle and domestic flight transfers, a professional local English-speaking guide, and all entrance fees listed in the itinerary. Hotel selection ranges from 3-star to 5-star at each destination. Multi-country extensions into Cambodia (Angkor Wat) or Laos (Luang Prabang) are available as add-ons, extending the total trip to 21 to 25 days.

Seventeen days is the recommended minimum for travelers who want a truly thorough experience of Vietnam — covering the country’s complete north-to-south geographic range while spending enough time in each region to form genuine cultural understanding rather than surface-level impressions.
