Hoi An

Vietnam is not one country, it is three. Twelve days, unhurried — north for mist and mountains, centre for craft and coastline, south for the food and the river.

Day by day

Days 1–3

Hanoi

Old Quarter walks, midnight phở, a private cyclo tour with a historian, and the city at the hour it belongs to locals.

Days 4–5

Hạ Long Bay

A two-night private junk through the limestone karsts. Kayaking at dawn, no other boats in sight.

Days 6–8

Hoi An

Tailoring days, lantern-lit dinners, cycling rice paddies at sunrise, and a cooking class by the river.

Days 9–12

Mekong Delta & the south

A river homestay, floating markets, and the best fruit in the world, before a final city night in Saigon.
