Prepare for the definitive, 18-day Vietnam tour experience, an immersive North to South itinerary that seamlessly blends historical depth, natural grandeur, and profound cultural immersion. Our Vietnam Highlights & Ethnic Treasures Tour 18 Days is meticulously crafted to ensure you don't just see Vietnam—you feel it. This is more than a holiday; it's an authentic adventure from the bustling energy of the southern metropolises to the serene, mist-shrouded mountains of the far north.
Your journey begins in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the nation's economic heart, before descending into the fertile bounty of the Mekong Delta. Here, you'll feel the gentle rhythm of life as you navigate the waterways of Cai Be and witness the bustling, colourful trade at the Can Tho floating markets. A visit to Tay Ninh offers a unique glimpse into Vietnam’s spiritual landscape, providing a sense of wonder and historical discovery.
Moving north, you’ll step back in time in Central Vietnam. In Hue, the former Imperial Capital, you'll wander through the forbidden purple city, feeling the reverence for the Nguyen Dynasty's grandeur. The journey continues to the enchanting Hoi An ancient town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Lose yourself in the charming laneways, illuminated by thousands of handmade lanterns, and feel the warmth of the local community. Nearby, explore the ancient Champa ruins of My Son Sanctuary, witnessing architectural history that dates back centuries.
The second half of your 18-day Vietnam highlights tour is dedicated to the majestic North. After exploring the cultural capital of Hanoi, you’ll take a scenic route to the awe-inspiring mountains of Sapa. This is where the journey focuses intensely on ethnic treasures. Engage in rewarding Sapa trekking tours through the terraced rice fields, connecting deeply with nature. Feel the warmth of local villages as you experience an authentic encounter with communities like the Hmong and Red Dao, especially during the vibrant Bac Ha market on Sunday.
The adventure then leads to Ninh Binh, often called 'Halong Bay on land'. Here, the spectacular limestone karsts rise dramatically from the rice paddies, offering a breathtaking landscape of natural beauty. Finally, the climax of your tour awaits: an unforgettable cruise through the emerald waters of Halong Bay, another indispensable UNESCO World Heritage experience. Kayak through hidden lagoons and watch the sun set over the karsts, solidifying this as your truly unforgettable Vietnam adventure. Every day offers a new landscape, a new flavour, and a new story, making this the most comprehensive and enriching Vietnam tour available.
