Every city has
its own flavor

Pho bo in Hanoi, seafood in Ha Long, goat in Ninh Binh, trout in the Sapa mountains and Cao Lầu in Hoi An. Northern and central Vietnam on one route.

Pho Bo — Hanoi

Real Hanoi pho: clear broth, fresh herbs, rice noodles. The city's classic breakfast.

Ha Long Seafood

Oysters, crab and squid straight from the boat. No restaurant, just the bay all around you.

Goat in Ninh Binh

A local delicacy for centuries. Tender and spicy, cooked with wild mountain herbs.

Trout in Sapa

Cold-water mountain fish: farms around Sapa mostly raise salmon and sturgeon.

Cao Lầu — Hoi An

Rice noodles with pork and crispy crackers. Made only in Hoi An, with dough water drawn from one ancient well.

Bánh mì in Hoi An

A crisp Vietnamese baguette with fillings. Hoi An's version makes lists of the world's best sandwiches, and the line on the street is no accident.

Egg Coffee — Hanoi

Cà phê trứng is a Hanoi original: whipped egg yolk over coffee. Warming and unlike anything else you'll drink.

Sapa Herbal Tea

Mountain herbs of the Hmong, part of every visit. Each bush comes with its own story and legend.

TOUR FAQ

How is this route different from your other tours?
It's the only tour that puts mountain Sapa with the Fansipan cable car and Ba Na Hills with the Golden Bridge in a single trip. You cover the north and center in 12 days, then finish with a free day by the sea, so you head home rested, not worn out.
Is there beach time?
Yes. From day 7 to day 12 you are in Da Nang and Hoi An; day 11 is completely free, and the other evenings are yours.
How physically demanding is the route?
Active, but no mountaineering. The trek through the Sapa rice terraces is easy, and cable cars take you up Fansipan (3,143 m) and Ba Na Hills. Ordinary fitness and comfortable shoes are all you need.
Is the Hanoi–Da Nang flight included in the price?
In the Full and VIP packages, yes: the domestic flight is included, along with all transfers. With Light you buy the flight ticket and book your hotels yourself. We give you specific recommendations, arrange the intercity journeys by regular transport, and run the whole program on the ground.
When is the best time for this route?
March–April is the sweet spot: the north is already dry and Da Nang isn't hot yet. In October–November the center (Da Nang, Hoi An) is in the rainy and typhoon season: excursions may be cancelled and Ba Na Hills can sit in fog. The golden rice terraces of Sapa peak in late September and October.
What's included in the price?
From $1,960: the full program, an English-speaking local guide, entry tickets, the Ha Long Bay cruise, and the Fansipan and Ba Na Hills cable cars, plus intercity journeys by regular transport. In Light you buy the Hanoi–Da Nang flight yourself. Full adds 3-star+ hotels, all transfers, the Hanoi–Da Nang flight and breakfasts. International flights are not included in any package.
What insurance is included in the tour?
The price includes Luma Vietnam Pass, Plan 3 medical insurance. Cover limits: medical expenses — $100,000; accident (death or disability) — $43,500. It covers inpatient and outpatient treatment, including COVID-19, emergency evacuation, repatriation, including repatriation of remains, about $43 for each day in hospital, baggage, and flight delay — $22 for every 6 hours.
