    Vietnam in full splendour! Every stop—Ninh Binh’s limestone valleys, Halong Bay’s serene waters, Hoi An’s charms, and the delta’s waterways—displayed a unique side of the country. Self-paced yet deeply immersive.

    A breathtaking journey from Hanoi’s vibrant streets to Halong Bay’s misty karsts and Hoi An’s lantern-lit lanes. Cruising overnight and floating markets in the Mekong Delta added layers of magic. Well-organized, truly unforgettable.
