Hi,

For 10 days in Vietnam, you can refer: Hanoi Old quarter, Halong Bay ( 2D1N or 3d2n), Sapa, Hoi An, and West of Vietnam ( Cai be Tien Giang, Chau Doc, My Tho). If you like beach, you can refer Phu Quoc island, Da Nang, Or Nha Trang).

Have a nice trip!

Hi dsaikrishna,

It's up to ur budget then you can chose the suitable tour for you (from cheap to luxury tour. It's easy to book tour in Vietnam. You can check package tour price with travel agents or you travel by yourself).

The above places is the must see places as I think for 10 days. You can refer the program as below and adjust it to apply you demand/ hobby.

Day 1: Arrival in Hanoi

Over night at hotel

Day 2: Hanoi city tour

Over night at hotel in Hanoi

Day 3: Hanoi - Halong

I recommend over night at Cruise instead of Hotel

Day 4: Halong - Hanoi

From Halong, arrival in Hanoi around 4.30pm

Over night at Hanoi

(If you want to visit Sapa by train, you can catch the train from this night - night train start at about 9.00pm)

Day 5: Hanoi - Sapa

6.30am catch the bus to sapa. Arrival in Sapa around 1.00pm
Sapa treking ( short trekking to Cat cat village - ethnic village)

Over night at hotel

Day 6: second day in Sapa, over night at homestay

Trekking La Chai, Ta van,...

Day 7: Sapa - Hanoi

Last day in Sapa.

4.00pm get bus to Hanoi. Over night in Hanoi

Day 8: Hanoi - Da Nang (beach)

Catch flight to Danang. Enjoy swimming at beautiful beach. Over night at hotel in Da Nang

Day 9: Da nang - Hoi an

Catch bus from Da nang to Hoi An

(Walking in Hoi An at night is romantic)

Day 10: Hoi an - come back Da nang for Flight to Hanoi

If possible, you should extend some days (3 days) to enjoy mekong delta tour

Hope it helpfull for u.
