15-Day Majestic Vietnam Full Package – 68% Off + Bonuses
Vietnam packs a remarkable range of scenery and culture into 15 days here: Hanoi’s street life, Halong Bay’s limestone islands, Sapa’s rice terraces, Hoi An’s old town, Hue’s imperial sites, and the Mekong Delta. The real appeal is the range of places covered, with domestic flights and overland transfers arranged for you.
I like the balance between planned sightseeing and open time, especially the free day in Hoi An and the final free day in Ho Chi Minh City. I also like the practical extras, including the airport SIM card, one massage, and visa letter of arrival.
The tradeoff is a busy schedule. Long road transfers connect Hanoi with Halong Bay and Sapa, and several days begin early. Before paying, confirm every hotel, your departure airport, and how the visa process works, since those details matter on a trip with several moving parts.
Key points to know before booking

- Two domestic flights are included: Hanoi to Da Nang and Hue to Ho Chi Minh City, with 20 kilograms of checked luggage and 7 kilograms of carry-on luggage.
- Halong Bay includes one overnight cruise: You visit Sung Sot Cave, Ti Top Island, Hang Luon, and take part in a spring-roll demonstration.
- Sapa provides the most active days: Cat Cat, Lao Chai, and Ta Van involve walking and a two-hour village trek.
- You get real free time: Hoi An has a full open day, and Ho Chi Minh City has another day for shopping and sightseeing.
- The package includes more than transport: Hotels, meals listed in the schedule, entrance fees, airport transfers, guides, a SIM card, a massage, and a visa letter are part of the deal.
- The group is capped at 15 people: That keeps the tour smaller than a large coach trip, though the exact group may vary.
A north-to-south route that covers Vietnam’s big names

At $1,550 per person, this is best understood as a packaged introduction to Vietnam rather than a slow, independent journey. You are paying for 14 nights of accommodation, domestic flights, road transport, airport pickups, entrance fees, guided visits, and many meals.
The route can run north to south or south to north. The supplied schedule begins in Hanoi and ends in Ho Chi Minh City, which gives the trip a clear progression through the country. You do not have to arrange each hotel, domestic ticket, driver, and sightseeing day yourself.
The price is strongest for people who value convenience. If you already enjoy booking local buses, hotels, and day tours separately, you might build a cheaper trip. But the package removes much of the work, and the included transport is particularly useful because Vietnam’s highlights are spread over long distances.
Accommodation is listed as 13 nights in three-star hotels plus one night on a Halong Bay cruise. That means you should expect practical, midrange lodging rather than luxury hotels. Ask for the full hotel list before arrival, a useful step because hotel locations affect how much time you have in each town.

Hanoi arrival and the first taste of the Old Quarter
Your arrival day is deliberately light. A representative meets you at Noi Bai International Airport and transfers you to Hanoi, a ride of about an hour. You stay in the Old Quarter, the most useful base on this trip for street food, shopping, and short walks through the city center.
After a long international flight, this is a sensible start. You have time to rest rather than being pushed straight into a packed sightseeing program. The Old Quarter location also lets you begin noticing Hanoi’s small details on your own, from food stalls to narrow commercial lanes.
A practical point: collect or confirm your complimentary SIM card at the airport if that is how the local arrangement works. Also confirm the departure airport for every flight before the trip begins. With both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City handling airport transfers, clear information saves needless confusion.
Halong Bay by cruise, cave, island, and kayak

Day two begins with pickup from the Hanoi Old Quarter and transfer to Tuan Chau Island. The road journey takes several hours, so this is not a quick side trip. Once aboard, you check into your cabin, eat lunch, and begin the overnight cruise among Halong Bay’s limestone islands.
Sung Sot Cave, also called Surprising Cave, is the main afternoon stop. The schedule allows about three hours around the cave and cruise activities, followed by Ti Top Island. You can swim, snorkel, or make the short climb for a broad view across the bay.
The overnight boat gives you something a day trip cannot: time on the water after the road transfer and a chance to use the sundeck in the early evening. The boat is still a group experience, and the schedule includes several shared activities, but the overnight stay makes Halong Bay feel less rushed.
Day three starts early with optional Tai Chi at 6:30 am. After breakfast, you pass more limestone islets and visit Hang Luon. You can choose a kayak or a bamboo boat rowed by local people, then join a cooking demonstration focused on spring rolls.
After an early lunch, you return to Tuan Chau and drive back to Hanoi. This two-day section is one of the trip’s strongest features, but it also sets the pace for the rest of the journey: early starts, scheduled transfers, and several activities in one day.
Sapa and the rice terraces around Lao Chai and Ta Van

Day four starts at 7:00 am. You take a takeaway breakfast from the hotel, leave some luggage in Hanoi, and travel by express road to Sapa. The journey takes about five and a half hours, so you should be ready for a long morning in the vehicle.
After lunch and hotel check-in, you visit Cat Cat village. A light trek is required, and there is time to see local handicrafts, try apple wine, and walk around Sapa town. The visit is short on paper, but the walking gives you a first look at the mountain culture and scenery around the town.
The next day focuses on Lao Chai and Ta Van in the Muong Hoa Valley. Lao Chai is known for terraced rice fields and ethnic minority culture. From there, a two-hour trek takes you toward Ta Van village, with views of the terraces and a closer look at local life.
This is the most physically active portion of the tour. The program says light trekking at Cat Cat and a two-hour trek on the following day, so comfortable shoes are important. After lunch, you return to Hanoi in about five hours. The back-and-forth routing is tiring, but it allows you to see Sapa without adding another domestic flight.

Hoi An, My Son, and a day with no schedule

On day six, you have a free morning in Hanoi before transfer to Noi Bai International Airport. The one-hour flight to Da Nang is included, as is the private transfer onward to Hoi An. After checking in, the rest of the day is yours.
That open arrival afternoon matters. Hoi An is a place best enjoyed at your own pace, and you are not forced into another formal tour after the flight. Use it to rest, walk, or begin exploring the old town.
Day seven brings a half-day visit to My Son Sanctuary, about 48 kilometers west of Hoi An. The site is surrounded by mountains and was chosen as a religious center. The schedule allows about six hours for the outing, including transport and sightseeing.
Day eight is fully open. You can head to the beach, explore Hoi An’s old town by bicycle or rickshaw, or stay at the hotel. This is one of the best design choices in the whole program. After several transfer-heavy days, you get room to choose what sounds good rather than being moved from one stop to another.
The package does not specify bicycle, rickshaw, beach, or optional activity costs, so treat the day as free time rather than an included excursion. Meals and personal expenses outside the stated program may also be your responsibility.
Hue by road, river, and imperial landmarks

At 11:45 am on day nine, a driver takes you from Hoi An to Hue. The journey lasts about three hours, followed by hotel check-in and free time. This is another relatively gentle transition, with no formal sightseeing planned after arrival.
Day ten is the main Hue program. A guide and driver collect you at 8:00 am, then you take a dragon boat to Thien Mu Pagoda, also known as the Heaven Fairy Lady Pagoda. The boat ride takes about 30 minutes and leads into a full day of historic and cultural sights.
Hue Imperial City, or the Citadel, is the central attraction. The schedule gives you about eight hours for the day, including the boat trip and guided visits. This is a useful place to have a guide because the imperial complex is easier to understand when someone explains the role of its buildings and grounds.
The day is long, but the combination of river travel and the Citadel gives Hue a different character from Hanoi, Hoi An, and Sapa. You are not just checking off another city. You are seeing Vietnam’s former imperial center through two of its best-known landmarks.
Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta, and Cu Chi Tunnels

Day eleven includes a flight from Phu Bai International Airport to Ho Chi Minh City. The flight is about an hour, and the package includes the ticket, airport transfer, and private ride to your hotel. The rest of the day is free.
Day twelve is devoted to the Mekong Delta. Pickup is scheduled between 7:30 and 7:50 am, followed by a drive along roads bordered by rice fields. The program describes this as a floating market day and allows about eight hours.
You should expect a full-day outing rather than a short city-side trip. The appeal is the change of pace and setting, from urban Ho Chi Minh City to waterways and agricultural areas. Lunch is included on seven days across the whole trip, but check which meals apply to each excursion before setting out.
Day thirteen visits the Cu Chi Tunnels, about 60 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. Pickup is again around 7:30 to 7:50 am, and the excursion lasts about five hours. The tunnels are tied to the area’s wartime role and offer a very different experience from the Mekong Delta.
Day fourteen is free and easy in Ho Chi Minh City. You can shop and sightsee independently, or request an optional city tour. Since that tour is on request, do not assume it is included in the $1,550 price.
What the package includes, and what remains yours

The included services are substantial:
- Two domestic flights with 20 kilograms of checked luggage and 7 kilograms of carry-on luggage
- Return airport and hotel transfers
- Air-conditioned transport during scheduled activities
- Three-star accommodation and one Halong Bay cruise night
- Entrance fees listed in the program
- English-speaking guides at attractions
- Fourteen breakfasts, seven lunches, and two dinners
- Vegetarian and vegan meals on request
- A SIM card, massage, and visa letter of arrival
International airfare is not included. You also pay for the Vietnam visa itself, beverages, tips, personal expenses, and anything not listed in the package.
The group maximum is 15 people, which is a reasonable size for village walks and guided city visits. Guides in other languages can be requested, but availability is not stated, so arrange that before booking.
Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the start time. Weather can affect the program, especially the Halong Bay cruise. If poor weather cancels an activity, you are offered another date or a full refund.
Who should book this Vietnam trip?
I would choose this package if you want Vietnam’s main regions in one organized trip and do not want to manage domestic flights, hotel changes, and local transfers. It suits first-time visitors who want a clear route, English-speaking guides, and a useful amount of free time.
It also works well if you like variety. You get city streets, a bay cruise, mountain villages, ancient sites, imperial buildings, river areas, and wartime history. Few days feel repetitive.
I would hesitate if you want slow travel or boutique hotels. The schedule includes long drives from Hanoi to Halong Bay, Hanoi to Sapa, Sapa back to Hanoi, and Hoi An to Hue. Three-star hotels keep the price practical, but they are not the reason to book this trip.
Should you book the 15-day Vietnam package?
Book it if the included transport and broad coverage are worth more to you than designing every day yourself. The strongest value comes from the two flights, Halong Bay overnight cruise, Sapa excursions, airport transfers, entrance fees, and guided day trips.
Before booking, get the hotel names, confirm the exact departure airports, ask how the SIM card is delivered, and verify the visa letter process. If those details are clear, the package offers a convenient way to see much of Vietnam in 15 days without spending your holiday solving transport problems.
