Vietnam, north to south, with a host
Vietnam rewards people who travel in one direction. Our hosted Vietnam trip starts in Hanoi and finishes in Ho Chi Minh City, with a small group and someone from Unpinned travelling the whole way with you. Come on your own or bring someone along: it's for everyone who doesn't want to wait for friends to commit.
How the route runs
- Hanoi: meet the group and eat your way around the Old Quarter: noodle stalls, night markets and coffee on tiny stools.
- Da Nang: fly south for beach time on the coast and a slower day or two.
- Hoi An: a short trip down the coast to the old town, best in the evening when the lanterns come on.
- Ho Chi Minh City: finish with markets, street food and a last group dinner, then fly home.
This is a draft route and may change before dates are announced.
Who it's for
- Food lovers who want to eat well from the first night
- Solo travellers who'd rather share the trip with a small group
- Anyone who wants city energy and beach days in one trip

Before you go
Roughly February to April suits the whole route, but each region has its own seasons, so the north, the central coast and the south can feel like different trips. Check the latest visa rules on Smartraveller before you fly.
