From Hanoi City Life to Phuket's Wonderful Beaches

This classic itinerary is specially designed for travelers taking their first trip to Asia for a 2-week vacation. It is a well-received combination of local life experiences in Vietnam and relaxation in Thailand.

From bustling cities and floating markets to historic sites and natural wonders, and from superlative landscapes to atmospheric temples, Thailand and Vietnam have it all!

You will not only see the main attractions, but also hand-picked insider experiences are arranged.

Yeliz Wang, Southeast Asia Specialist

"My favorite part of this two-week trip is the night food tour in Hoi An. Walking through the lantern-lit streets gives off this incredible, romantic vibe. The real highlight is ducking into a hidden alley for authentic local dishes—like White Rose Dumplings—completely away from the crowds."

Journey Highlights

Hop on a cyclo and pass through the famed Old Quarter, catching the vibe of city life in Hanoi.

Drift among the unspoiled areas of Halong Bay, on AH's overnight cruise. Our more-private crafts are half the size of the usual group-tour boats.

Paddle a traditional Vietnamese basket boat along the coconut-palm-flanked waterways to learn about the local fisherman's lifestyle.

Enjoy an evening foodie tour, walking around the ancient town of Hoi An, where colorful lanterns light up the night.

Take a sampan ride through the picturesque canals of the Mekong Delta.

See the bustling floating market scene in Can Tho, which is more authentic than Thailand's.

Walk into the magnificent Grand Palace and Listen to monk's chanting in Wat Pho.

Spend some days relaxing by the wonderful beaches in Phuket.
