5 Days in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Turn a brief five-day vacation to northern Vietnam into an unforgettable discovery of Hanoi's secret gems and a visit to the beautiful river lands of Ninh Bình Province. You could also see the central coast and the ancient citadel of Hue or travel farther south beyond the bright lights of Ho Chi Minh City, where an exciting excursion to the Mekong Delta awaits. And if you're eager for a hike amid the rice terraces and humble villages of rural Vietnam, consider five days to discover the Pu Luong Nature Reserve.

1 Week in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

Make your travel plans wisely to get the most out of a week in Vietnam. Try a northern adventure that takes you to the colonial streets of Hanoi and the mountains of Sapa, or go on a southern tour of Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. See highlights of the north and the south on an itinerary that also includes stops at coastal cities like Hoi An and Hue, or choose an off-the-beaten-path adventure to river caves, national parks, and country villages. The below itineraries cover all these options and more.

10 Days in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With 10 days in Vietnam, you can embark on a highlights tour featuring the energetic cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and spend a night onboard a cruise in Ha Long Bay. Or, for a more off-the-beaten-path tour, focus on northern Vietnam and hike through lush rice-terraced valleys. Vietnam is also the perfect place for foodies to hop between lively markets, while those seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation can focus on southern Vietnam's villages and the beach-studded island of Phu Quoc.

2 Weeks in Vietnam - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas

With two weeks, you can travel the length of Vietnam, covering the must-see classic highlights from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi as well as exploring lesser-visited locales in and around the mountains of Sapa. Alternatively, check out the sights as you dine around the country on a food-themed tour, or add a coastal visit in the country's south to spend some downtime on the beach. If you prefer to mix the highlights with cultural immersion, consider mingling with locals in their daily life on the Backroads of Vietnam option.

How Many Days to Spend in Vietnam

When plotting your grand adventure in Vietnam, try to visit both the north and south, as this country packs a lot into a relatively small size. It's possible to see both regions in just a few days, but the longer you have, the more excursions you can take, like boat tours, mountain hikes, and visits to ethnic villages. And if time isn't an issue, add in trips to the central coast, northern bays, scenic river deltas, and more.

Best Time of Year to Visit Vietnam

Vietnam is a long, skinny country bookended by extremes: the northern areas bordering China are mountainous, while the Mekong Delta in the south is tropical. In between are vibrant cities, temperate highlands, and a huge range of natural attractions. While you can visit at any time of year, it's important to plan where you go around the country's climatic differences—you won't want to hit the beaches in summer, for example, or the northern mountains in winter. Read on for more tips on when to visit Vietnam.

She handled booking all the tours making it hassle free for everything I wanted to do, all I had to do was show up. All of the tour guides she used (the trip was across multiple cities) were incredible (especially Destiny in Hoi An/Ba Na Hills).

Long, my local specialist was outstanding, THE BEST! He has restored my faith in kimkim.

I had my first trip with kimkim to Croatia in Oct. 2019. The local specialist, Antonia, was amazing. She was a true "Travel Magician" and we had the best time thanks to her.

Second trip with kimkim was to Portugal in Oct 2022 with local specialist Beatriz based in Madrid, and it was an absolute disaster. Beatriz failed us in so many ways. Because of my 2019 trip experience, I got my closest friends to join this trip. We were all totally disappointed and I had to keep apologizing to my friends. I was determined as a result never to travel with kimkim again.

This time, my daughter encouraged me to give kimkim another chance as she and her family returned from a very good trip with kimkim in summer. Against my better judgement I did and now very pleased to report, Long did a fabulous job from start to finish, and has restored my faith in kimkim.

At the outset I asked Long if he had read my 2 previous reviews, and told him that I expected him to perform and deliver to my expectations. And yes, Long more than delivered. He understood my "demands" - great sightseeing, great local food, the best but not outrageously-priced hotels, and superior guides/on-the-ground service.
Long put together a wonderful trip itinerary and was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process.

Thanks to his diligence, and stellar customer service, my husband and I had the most enjoyable time and loved Vietnam.
We did so many interesting and fun things. Ate the best local food, great foodie tours. Stayed in well-located 5-star hotels - charming boutique hotel in Hanoi French Quarters, the best room (gigantic honeymoon room with this phenomenal round bed) on our Ha Long Bay cruise, beautiful Moire Hoi An (IHG collection) right by the river in Hue, etc, etc.

On arrival in Vietnam, they provided VIP Fast Track Service at the airport, and we were escorted and breezed through customs.
We had our own private cars with excellent, careful drivers and great, very knowledgeable local guides.
We met fellow travelers at the airport who didn't do half the fun and exciting things we did - Highlights: Cyclo Tour (pedalled through downdown Hanoi in their version of rickshaw right smack in the heart of downtown traffic with our cyclist repeating and reassuring us "No. 1 Driver" as he avoided oncoming buses and motor bikes.), flat-boat ride down the river in Tam Coc where the boats were rowed with feet not hands, Citadel (stunningly beautiful Imperial palace in Hue built with heavy French influence), basket boat ride in Hoi An and Sai Gon Night Street Eats with Vespa Wanderers (sat pillion on Vespa scooters and ferried from restaurant to restaurant eating the most delicious local food - best coffee, best Vietnamese sandwich, amazing fancy restaurant, best local dessert and capped it off with drinks at a nice bar.)

Long of Realistic Asia planned a fabulous itinerary for us, and totally performed and delivered. He personally welcomed and met us in Hanoi with souvenir gifts handmade by his girlfriend, prepped us every day on what to expect the next day, made sure we had the best guides and drivers, checked with us every day to make sure we were happy and had no complaints....in constant contact and responded immediately to anything we needed.
In short, he was OUTSTANDING, THE BEST, another true Travel Magician.
He even checked and made sure we returned home safely.
Extremely well done Long and THANK YOU. You have restored our faith in kimkim.
We will be recommending good friends to you. Keep up your superior level of customer service.

Lovely, charming well-located hotel with incredible customer service. We were having breakfast the first morning when a staff came to apologize if our sleep was disturbed by a fire alarm that went off mistakenly. The alarm was so soft, my husband couldn't even hear it when I asked him. Our final morning breakfast, a server came to say she knows we will have a 3-hour road trip to Ha Long Bay and could she pack a lunch bag for us. Amazing. During breakfast, I completed a review of the hotel, rated it the best, made a recommendation for a 2nd chair in the room and when we were checking out, the Hotel Manager came to personally thank us, gave us a small gift and thanked me for my recommendation. This is one hotel you must provide for all your guests in Hanoi. Amazing, phenomenal service, great breakfast, great location, comfortable and very clean room and all-around very attentive staff from doorman to reception to Restaurant staff. I have stayed in many 5-star, superior hotels but this one ranks way above the best because of its stellar, extremely attentive customer service. Definitely goes the extra mile!

This was our first experience in south east Asia. Doris prepared a wonderful itinerary for us. After inquiring our travel dates and interests, she designed a detailed and comprehensive plan for our trip encompassing everything we asked for and more good stuff. she was very meticulous in the design and was open to making changes at our request. The overall experience exceeded our expectation. In addition, she guided us through every step and carefully monitored all reservations and deadlines to ensure a perfect trip which it was.
She coordinated the tours, guides, drivers, hotels and flights to our liking and made changes when we asked. she helped with a couple restaurant reservations. she responded to our inquiries with no delays. she was also very personable and friendly which made the interaction that much more pleasant. I give Doris the highest remarks and recommendation as a travel consultant.

We had good guides in Bangkok, Central and South Vietnam . all showed enthusiasm and willingness to give us the best experience. Our guide in Ho CHi Minh city, Mr. Hung Ha was exceptional. The 3 guides in Hoi An city who covered different aspects of our stay were very good , friendly and enthusiastic. I would have all these guides again .

we had memorable moments in every place we visited. Hoi An stands out as well as the nature in Mai Chau and the trip to Mekong Delta. The ending at Phu Quoc island was so lovely ( this was Doris's idea and plan) that we could have stayed there two more days. so perhaps next time. we will not forget the time we spent there

Sincerely,
