A 10-day journey through Vietnam, designed for a small group of maximum 5 people who want to discover the country together while keeping the trip relaxed, flexible and fun. We’ll start in Hanoi, discovering the culture, food and atmosphere of Vietnam’s capital, before heading to the spectacular Ha Long Bay for an overnight cruise surrounded by its iconic limestone islands. From there, we’ll continue to Ninh Binh and Tam Coc, exploring some of Vietnam’s most beautiful landscapes, including Trang An and Hang Mua. Then we’ll travel south to Da Nang and Hoi An, with time to discover the charming old town and visit the famous Golden Bridge. Our final stop will be Ho Chi Minh City, where we’ll experience the energy of southern Vietnam and visit some of its highlights, including the War Remnants Museum, with the possibility of exploring the Mekong Delta. The idea is not to follow a rigid organized tour, but to travel together as a small group, share the main experiences and still have some freedom to enjoy the trip at our own pace. Accommodation, the Ha Long Bay overnight cruise and the transportation specifically mentioned in the trip are included. Activities and optional excursions can be organized together depending on everyone’s interests. You can join this Vietnam trip on its own, or continue the adventure with us through Laos and Cambodia. 🇻🇳✈️🌏
Hi! I’m Federico, I’m 36 and I’m from Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹. I love travelling, discovering new places and having experiences that go beyond the typical holiday. I enjoy mixing cities, culture, nature, good food and, of course, some time by the sea to relax. I’m sociable, easy-going and relaxed. I really enjoy sharing a journey and creating a great group atmosphere, but I also think it’s important that everyone has their own space and the freedom to choose what they want to do. I’m looking for open-minded, respectful and flexible travel companions who want to have fun and enjoy the adventure together, without feeling like we have to spend 24/7 as a group. The goal is simple: we might start this journey as strangers, but hopefully we’ll come back with amazing memories, lots of shared experiences and, why not, some new friendships. 🌏✈️
I have already selected accommodation for each stop of the trip, focusing on comfortable, well-located hotels with good value for money. The currently planned accommodations are: Queen Cafe Hotel & Pub (Hanoi), Amanda Premier Cruise (Ha Long Bay), Tam Coc Harbor View Hotel (Ninh Binh), Hoi An Dream City Hotel, The White House (Ho Chi Minh City), Accommodation is included in the. The hotels listed above are the accommodations currently planned for the trip, but I will avoid making non-refundable bookings too early. Final bookings will be made according to group confirmation, availability and the payments received from TripMates. If availability or prices change before booking, an equivalent accommodation in the same area and with a similar standard may be selected. This will also help us stay together as a group and make transfers, departures and shared activities easier to coordinate. This trip is designed for travellers who want to experience Vietnam, at a relaxed pace while sharing the adventure with a small group. There will be plenty to see and do, but also enough flexibility to enjoy some free time and experience each destination in your own way. If you have any questions about the itinerary, accommodation, transportation or what is included, feel free to reach out — I’ll be happy to help!
