15-Day Majestic Vietnam FULL Package – 68% OFF + Bonuses
Vietnam in 15 days is a big bite, but this trip serves it in sensible portions. You move from Hanoi’s Old Quarter and Halong Bay to Sapa’s rice terraces, central Vietnam’s old towns and temples, then finish with the Mekong Delta and Ho Chi Minh City.
I like the built-in transfers and domestic flights, which remove much of the usual planning work. I also like the balance of guided touring and free days, especially in Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City. The tradeoff is the pace: long road journeys to Sapa and between major stops can leave you tired.
- Two nights in Halong Bay waters: A cruise with Sung Sot Cave, Ti Top Island, kayaking or a bamboo boat, and a spring-roll lesson.
- Sapa trekking: Walk through Cat Cat, Lao Chai and Ta Van, with terraced fields and ethnic minority villages.
- Central Vietnam by air and road: Fly to Da Nang, then visit My Son, Hoi An and Hue.
- Southern Vietnam’s key day trips: See the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels from Ho Chi Minh City.
- Small-group format: The maximum group size is 15, with English-speaking guides at the scheduled attractions.
- Useful extras: The package includes a SIM card, one massage and a visa letter of arrival, while international flights and the visa itself cost extra.

A north-to-south route with little guesswork

The great strength here is organization. For $1,550 per person, the package covers 14 breakfasts, two dinners, seven lunches, two domestic flights, airport transfers, hotel transfers, entrance fees, scheduled transport and accommodation.
That is a useful amount of coverage for a two-week trip. You are not constantly comparing train fares, arranging airport pickups or deciding how to reach a distant attraction. The price does not include your international flights, Vietnam visa, drinks, tips or personal spending, so it is not a no-cost holiday. Still, the included ground services make the price worth examining closely.
The route begins in Hanoi and finishes in Ho Chi Minh City, though the direction can be arranged south to north. The itinerary includes 13 nights in three-star accommodation and one night on the Halong Bay cruise. Since the day-by-day schedule can involve late transfers and early departures, ask for every hotel name and the exact overnight count before paying.
The group limit of 15 is another plus. That is small enough for a guide to manage without turning every stop into a procession. Guides in languages other than English may be requested, though availability is not stated.
Hanoi arrival and the Old Quarter

Your first day is deliberately gentle. A representative meets you at Noi Bai International Airport and transfers you to the Old Quarter, a handy base for food, shopping and wandering.
There is no major sightseeing scheduled after arrival. That is wise. Hanoi traffic, a long flight and the first encounter with Vietnam’s energetic streets can be plenty for one afternoon. Use the time to rest, get your SIM card working and walk a short distance around the Old Quarter.
One practical point deserves attention. The experience includes a free SIM card, but a previous booking tip specifically advises arranging collection at the airport. Confirm how and where you receive it before departure. You should also request the full hotel details in advance, rather than waiting until you land.

Halong Bay, caves and a one-night cruise

Day two starts with a transfer from Hanoi’s Old Quarter to Tuan Chau Island and the international cruise port. The road journey takes about three hours, followed by boarding, lunch and time on the water.
The cruise includes Sung Sot, or Surprising Cave. The schedule allows about three hours in that part of the bay, including the cave visit and cruise activities. Later, Ti Top Island offers a choice of swimming, snorkeling or a short climb for a broad view over the limestone islets.
This is one of the trip’s most appealing sections because the scenery changes the rhythm. Instead of sitting in a vehicle, you watch the bay from the boat, eat onboard and have time on deck. A sunset period and a morning Tai Chi session are included in the program, although the early session begins at 6:30 am.
Day three brings Hang Luon Cave, reached by kayak or bamboo boat rowed by local residents. You can choose the activity that suits your energy and comfort. A short cooking demonstration follows, with a lesson on making spring rolls.
After an early lunch, you return to Tuan Chau Island and drive back to Hanoi for the night. The main caution is timing. Halong Bay programs can change with weather and cruise operations, and the trip specifically requires good weather. If conditions cancel the experience, you are offered another date or a full refund.
Sapa and two days among the rice terraces
Day four begins early, at about 7:00 am, with a drive from Hanoi to Sapa. The express-road journey takes roughly five and a half hours. You can ask your hotel for a takeaway breakfast and leave some luggage behind while you travel.
That long ride is the clearest physical drawback in the northern section. Sapa is rewarding, but it is not a quick side trip from Hanoi. Once you arrive, you have lunch, check in and visit Cat Cat village in the afternoon.
Cat Cat requires light trekking, so bring shoes with a good grip. The visit includes time to see village life, sample local apple wine and shop for hand-woven blankets. You also have time in Sapa town before the evening.
Day five is the stronger walking day. After breakfast, you trek for about two hours from Lao Chai toward Ta Van Village. The route passes terraced rice fields in the Muong Hoa Valley and offers a closer look at local ethnic minority communities.
You should treat this as a scenic village walk, not a demanding mountain expedition. The itinerary does not give a detailed difficulty grade, so anyone with mobility concerns should ask the operator for more information before booking. After the trek, you return to Hanoi, a journey of about five hours, and spend the night there.
The pace is tight, but the payoff is variety. In two days, you see northern mountain scenery and village life that feel very different from Hanoi’s crowded streets. The cost is time spent in the vehicle.
Da Nang, My Son and a free day in Hoi An

Day six gives you a break from the long road routes. After breakfast and free time in Hanoi, a driver takes you to Noi Bai International Airport for the one-hour flight to Da Nang. A private vehicle then transfers you to Hoi An, with about two hours allowed for the airport transfer and check-in process.
The air connection is valuable. Without it, the route from northern Vietnam to central Vietnam would be much harder to fit into 15 days. The package includes 20 kilograms of checked baggage and 7 kilograms of carry-on baggage for the domestic flights.
Day seven is devoted to My Son Sanctuary, about 48 kilometers west of Hoi An. The half-day visit lasts around six hours in the stated schedule, including transport and sightseeing. My Son was a religious center associated with the ancient Champa civilization, and its setting among the mountains gives the visit a different feel from the coastal towns.
Day eight is free. You can go to the beach, explore Hoi An Ancient Town by bicycle or rickshaw, or simply rest at the hotel. This open day is important because the wider tour has several early starts and transfers.
I would use it for Hoi An at your own speed. The guided parts give you context, but free time lets you stop for food, shopping or photographs without watching the clock. The schedule does not include a guided Hoi An city tour on this day, so ask in advance if you want one.

Hue, the Citadel and a dragon boat

On day nine, a private car takes you from Hoi An to Hue. The trip begins around 11:45 am and takes about three hours. After checking in, the rest of the day is free.
Day ten brings the main Hue sightseeing. Your guide and driver collect you at 8:00 am, then you take a dragon boat to Thien Mu Pagoda. The boat ride lasts about 30 minutes and gives you a slower introduction to the city before the land visits.
The Hue Imperial City, also called the Citadel, is the central historical stop. The full day lasts about eight hours and includes entrance fees, transport and an English-speaking guide. The itinerary does not list every stop in the Hue program, so ask for the final sightseeing order if particular monuments matter to you.
Hue is a good place to have a guide. The Citadel is not just a collection of gates and walls, and a clear explanation helps you understand how the imperial center worked. At the same time, the free afternoon on day nine gives you a chance to rest before the early start.
Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi

Day eleven starts with another airport transfer and a one-hour flight from Phu Bai International Airport to Ho Chi Minh City. A representative meets you at Tan Son Nhat International Airport and drives you to your hotel.
The rest of the day is free, which is helpful after the flight. You can recover, walk around the city or save your energy for the two day trips that follow. The itinerary lists 21 hours at the Ho Chi Minh City hotel stop, reflecting the overnight stay rather than a sightseeing duration.
Day twelve is a full-day Mekong Delta outing. Pickup is scheduled between 7:30 and 7:50 am, followed by a drive along the National Highway through rice fields. The program calls this a floating-market tour and lasts about eight hours.
Expect a day away from the city, with rural scenery and local life as the focus. Since the supplied schedule does not specify the exact floating market, boats or villages included, ask for those details before booking if you have a particular Mekong experience in mind.
Day thirteen heads to the Cu Chi Tunnels. Pickup is again around 7:30 to 7:50 am, and the tunnels lie about 60 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. The half-day visit lasts about five hours.
Cu Chi is valuable because it puts the country’s wartime past into a physical setting. You see the tunnel complex and learn why the district became important during the conflict. The schedule does not state how much walking or how many tunnel sections you enter, so ask if you have concerns about tight spaces or uneven ground.
Day fourteen is free and easy in Ho Chi Minh City. Shopping and sightseeing are up to you, with an optional city tour available on request. This is a good final buffer. You can revisit an area, shop for gifts or avoid packing your last day with another formal excursion.
What the $1,550 price really covers

The advertised rate is strongest for people who want a single booking to handle the main logistics. Hotels, domestic flights, airport transfers, attraction tickets, scheduled transport, many meals and guides are already included.
The package also adds a massage and a visa letter of arrival. These extras are convenient, but remember that the Vietnam visa itself is not included. Drinks, tips and personal expenses are also outside the price.
Accommodation is three-star, not luxury. The Halong Bay cruise supplies the most distinctive overnight stay, while the city and town hotels are designed as practical bases. Ask for hotel names and room details before booking, especially if you care about location, bed type or facilities.
The program offers vegetarian and vegan meals on request. Make that request early and repeat it when you arrive. Breakfast is included every day, while lunch and dinner appear only on selected days.
Who should book this Vietnam route?

I would choose this tour if you want to see Vietnam’s major regions without arranging every transfer yourself. It suits first-time visitors who value an English-speaking guide at key attractions, included entrance fees and a group capped at 15 people.
It also works for couples, families and friends who want some structure but do not want a guide beside them every hour. The free days in Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh City give you room to make the trip your own.
I would hesitate if you dislike early mornings, long drives or frequent hotel changes. Sapa requires two lengthy road journeys, and the overall route covers a great deal of ground in 15 days. You should also confirm the final hotel list, airport details and domestic flight schedule before making payment.
Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes made later are not accepted, and late cancellations are not refunded. Since the Halong Bay portion depends on weather, keep a little flexibility in your wider travel plans.
