15 Days 14 Nights

15 days / 14 nights | Vietnam private route from the southern delta to Sapa. This product starts in Ho Chi Minh City and reaches northern Hanoi, Sapa and Ha Long Bay via the country’s central heritage regions. Its particular appeal is adding Muong Hoa Valley and the highland cultural landscape to a south-to-north journey, rather than stopping after the most common city highlights.

Build the highland section around real timing. The published highlights mention Fansipan cable car, Sapa village walks and Bac Ha ethnic market alongside Hoi An village activities. Bac Ha market is usually a weekly event, so it should only be promised when the dates align; village walks need to suit the group’s fitness and the weather. Ask ITG to identify all fourteen nights, coast-to-north transfers, Sapa transport mode, boat/cruise format, ticket inclusions and free time. A private itinerary can be adjusted, but each change has to be checked with local suppliers.

Use ITG’s Sapa guide and Sapa trekking guide to choose realistic walking routes; see the Hoi An guide for central heritage and the Ha Long guide for boat formats. A 16D15N Panorama option focuses more on Da Lat and Nha Trang instead of the northern trail emphasis.

Request a date-matched private itinerary from ITG. Send arrival/departure airports, travel dates, number and ages of travellers, walking limits, room and hotel preferences, interest in a market day, food needs and budget via Plan Your Holiday. ITG can align markets, guides, transport and hotel availability before confirming fourteen nights and a personalised quotation. The listed USD price is a reference, with flights, visas and insurance subject to written confirmation.

Tour Highlights

15 days / 14 nights through Vietnam from Ho Chi Minh City to the Northern highlands around Sapa. This south-to-north private-category itinerary combines Mekong waterways, Central Vietnam heritage and Northern mountain scenery. It is a more active route than a simple city-to-city highlights tour.

Southern Vietnam: Begin in Ho Chi Minh City with Cu Chi and the Mekong Delta, then continue north through the scheduled travel sectors.
Hoi An and Hue: Heritage sites, local farming/fishing experiences and regional cuisine provide a slower contrast to the major transfers.
Northern Vietnam: Hanoi and Ha Long Bay combine with Sapa’s Muong Hoa valley, Fansipan and other cultural/market stops as scheduled. Village walks, a cable car and any Bac Ha market visit have different fitness and weekday requirements.

Fourteen nights must be divided among several hotel bases and potentially a cruise. Confirm the full night-by-night schedule, any domestic air tickets, private vehicle and guide days, shared boat/cable-car services, activity tickets, meals, market days and contingency for mountain weather. The fact a tour is filed as private does not mean all trains, boats and cable cars are private. Compare the Sapa trekking guide and private-tour collection; send ITG your dates, mobility needs, hotel level and start/end airports for a confirmed quotation.

this is our 5th TAD adventure. When booking you know where you are going but from experience we know it’s the Tour Leader that will make or break the trip. Tom greeted us and started with setting up a What’s App, a great idea, it is more than just helpful, it brings the team together, sharing & caring. it didn’t take long for everyone to jump onboard adding info, asking questions and adding /sharing photos. Tom sorted our rooms, handed out our keys, had Water everyday, paid ahead for entry to excursion destinations, organised for laundry etc which certainly ment less headaches for everyone ( upgrade) Organising the bus to save walking or taxi/uber ride (upgrade) With Tom’s wide smile, warm personality & good English we knew we were in good hands, always happy to help out and deal with our issues (they happen) As a tour leader we rate him AAA. If every tour guide followed his lead they would be a winner for their company & everyone taking their tour Thank you Tom for making our trip so enjoyable and stress free Sharon & Matt 🙏🫶

5 Stars – Excellent Tours and Wonderful Guides! We had an absolutely fantastic experience during our recent visit to Hanoi, Vietnam! We booked two private tours, and both exceeded our expectations. A very special thank you to our wonderful tour guides, Hung and Cathy, who made our time in Vietnam truly memorable. Both were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and beauty of their country. Everything was exceptionally well organized, and the attention to detail throughout both tours was outstanding. Our guides went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable, enjoying themselves, and getting the most out of each experience. We especially appreciated their warm hospitality, flexibility, and willingness to answer all our questions. Their enthusiasm and personal touches made the tours even more enjoyable. Vietnam is a beautiful country with amazing people, and Hung and Cathy were wonderful ambassadors for it. We cannot thank the entire team enough for making our visit so special. We highly recommend their services to anyone visiting Vietnam and would absolutely book with them again! Thank you, Hung and Cathy, for the wonderful memories and exceptional hospitality!

 Verified A Wonderful and Memorable Vietnam Trip! 🇻🇳 Thanks to Nina
We had a wonderful time exploring Vietnam, and the entire trip was smooth and well organised. Staying in Hanoi’s Old Quarter was a great experience, and we really enjoyed exploring the beautiful landscapes of Ninh Binh and taking the boat ride through Trang An. The highlight of our trip was the overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay. The stunning scenery, peaceful overnight stay, and morning kayaking made it a truly memorable experience. The limousine transfers were also comfortable and hassle-free throughout the trip. A special thanks to Nina for helping customise our itinerary and patiently answering all my questions from day one. Her support and guidance made the planning process much easier and gave us confidence before the trip. Overall, everything went smoothly, and we returned home with lots of beautiful memories. Thanks to Nina and the entire team for making our Vietnam trip such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. 😊❤️

 Verified An Excellent Guide – Thank You, Hai Nguyen!
An Excellent Guide – Thank You, Hai Nguyen! Hai Nguyen made our Vietnam trip truly memorable! He was punctual, friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout our time with him. He explained everything so well that we could appreciate not just the places we visited, but also the culture and stories behind them. What touched me most was his willingness to go the extra mile. At Mua Cave, he patiently helped me climb the steps and encouraged me along the way. He also helped us take lovely photographs, assisted us with shopping, and took us to a place selling beautiful bamboo products. His suggestions to visit the night market and take an evening walk around the lake added some wonderful experiences to our trip that we might otherwise have missed. Hai was always considerate, and attentive to our needs. His warmth and genuine helpfulness made us feel comfortable and well looked after. It is these little gestures and personal touches that make a trip memorable, and Hai certainly made a difference to ours. Thank you, Hai, for your kindness, patience, and for helping us create such lovely memories in Vietnam. We are so glad we had you as our guide and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone visiting Vietnam. You made our trip extra special!
