Vietnam Express Southbound Tour
I have just completed the June 2025 tour with Thanh as our tour guide. Thanh made it such an amazing experience with his knowledge and care he took with the group. The side tours that are included are well thought out so we could experience the culture and food which was much appreciated
via Tripadvisor
The very best of Vietnam, from the very best guide, Thanh.
Our tour guide Thanh was excellent. I really recommend him, with his extensive knowledge and wonderful persona he gave us the very best experience of Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City.

Fabulous tour with #IntrepidTravel
We had never joined a group tour before and felt some trepidation about what to expect. We need not have worried at all! Our tour leader, Hà, took us adeptly in hand, helped the group to bond and ensured that we had a wonderful time every day. He offered to take us out each eveni g for a group meal, which was one less thing to worry about. Most meals were banquet style doing it this way, so there was always something good to eat. It was a real luxury to be guided through this amazing country - visiting awe inspiring places and finding out about the people and the culture. All of the included hotels were fine, we chose the essentials tour so knew that we weren't getting fancy hotels - we were delighted with the location, staff and amenities at each of them. The tour is really well planned. The optional extra activities are all excellent - I recommend that you do them all, as they really add that extra something special to the trip. There is free water to fill up your refillable bottles on all the bus journeys, which is a life saver, it was really hot when we visited. The currency you need is Dong, in the south they advertise dual prices with US$, but Dong are best. There are ATM's everywhere to get out local currency. We also bought a local SIM card for our phones, with 4gb data a day and free local calls, we paid VND280, 000 each for these and they worked really well, with data coverage even in the middle of nowhere. Some of our group continued on to Cambodia after the Vietnam tour - we had an extra night in Ho Chi Minh City and thdn flew home with so many fantastic memories. The country, the tour and Intrepid Travel - all highly recommended!

Fabulous group tour with the family
We really enjoyed our 10 day tour. The group we had were all great fun. Everyone got along. Ages were from late teens to mid 50’s. Jolie (Ngang Nguyen) our guide was fantastic. She spoke great English, was extremely patient and nothing was a problem. Our only suggestion would be (if you’re fussy) is to take a sheet and pillow case as the overnight train is very basic and the sheets are shaken and put straight back on the beds. We also found the last nights accom in Saigon to be not quite up to standard. We forfeited and booked at the Prague Hotel which is in a better area and has a pool. Otherwise, couldn’t fault it.

Intrepid southbound express Vietnam
A good way to visit several cities in just 10 days. Our guide Nam Nguyen was very efficient, helpful and had good English our group size was 16 people from UK and Australia age range 20's to retired couples. All interacted very well. Transport varied from boat, overnight sleeper train and coach. Travel light and leave room in your suitcase for the stop in HoiAn. Suits, dresses and shoes can be custom made overnight.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days cost?
+
Prices start at $690 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 Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days take?
+
Plan for about 240 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 Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days?
+
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 Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 240-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days?
+
Around 2 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 240-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vietnam Express Southbound 10 days 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
