My second trip to Vietnam in 8 months. This time experiencing the north, including Hanoi, Ha Long Bay and Sa Pa. The guides were again, professional, super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and made the 9 days an amazing experience!! Their attention to detail and overall client service was impeccable. I’m a seasoned traveler and I highly recommend this company.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights take?
+
Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights?
+
Included: Entrance fees; Lunch; Dinner; Tissues and water on coach; and English-speaking local guide. Not included: Travel insurance is not covered in the tour price; Vietnam visa fee; International flights (to/from Vietnam); and Domestic flights: Hanoi - Hue; Danang - Ho Chi Minh. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 868 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 9 Day Journey Vietnam Highlights if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Hanoi. Standard cancellation terms apply.
