What to expect
Expect a structured itinerary balancing guided city exploration with rural immersion. Days typically start early—markets and temples before heat peaks—then shift to afternoon activities or travel. You'll move between cities every 2–4 days via domestic flights or overland routes. Meals happen at family-run restaurants and street stalls rather than tourist chains. Your guide handles logistics and context; you navigate crowds, humidity, and the occasional squat toilet. Accommodation ranges from modest three-star hotels to charming colonial-era places.
Good to know
Book dietary needs upfront. Tips aren't included—budget extra for guides and drivers. Bring cash for minor purchases; ATMs are accessible but unreliable in remote areas. Malaria precautions recommended for Mekong Delta. Domestic flights may be tight on luggage; pack light.
