Vietnam Tours from Ha Long Bay to the Mekong

Tours Across Vietnam: Hanoi, Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City

Vietnam is long and thin, and most travelers work from Hanoi in the north to Ho Chi Minh City in the south with Hoi An in between. The experiences above are the most-reviewed along that route with a 4.5 rating or higher.

Hanoi Tours, Ha Long Bay Cruises and Ninh Binh Day Trips

The Ha Long Bay day cruise from Hanoi includes lunch, swimming and kayaking among the limestone islands and is the country's most-booked trip. The Ninh Binh day trip covers Trang An's rowing boats, Mua Cave's viewpoint and the Bai Dinh or Hoa Lu temples. In Hanoi itself, the street food tour with a visit to Train Street is the top-rated evening activity.

Hoi An Walking Tours and Cooking Classes

Hoi An's two best-rated experiences are workshops: a coffee-making class that explains Vietnamese phin brewing and egg coffee, and a lantern-making class where you build a foldable silk lantern to take home.

Ho Chi Minh City Tours and Mekong Delta Day Trips

The Cu Chi Tunnels half-day tour is the most-reviewed activity in the south, with morning and afternoon departures. The full-day version pairs the tunnels with the Mekong Delta, while the Mekong-only tour spends more time on the water with a sampan ride through coconut canals.

Vietnam Travel Tips: Visas, Weather and Overnight Cruises

Ha Long Bay day trips involve about three hours of driving each way. Cu Chi tunnel sections are narrow; a shorter widened section is available. Most tours include hotel pickup and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
