South Vietnam & Beach Escape

Coffee, Culture and Coastlines: A Taste of Vietnam

Our experts designed this South Vietnam journey for curious travellers who want more than just the highlights. If you’re looking for a trip that blends hidden history, local flavour, and time to relax by the sea, this is it.

From the lesser-seen corners of Ho Chi Minh City to the peaceful waterways of the Mekong Delta and the laid-back charm of Phu Quoc island, this itinerary offers a well-rounded taste of southern Vietnam. You’ll uncover stories behind secret wartime sites, sip coffee the Vietnamese way, and end each day with space to slow down and soak it all in.

Our Vietnam specialist, Nia, says:

“I love this trip because it shows a different side of Vietnam. This tour takes you into neighbourhoods most visitors miss, and the Mekong day cruise is a brilliant way to experience life on the river. Then finishing on Phu Quoc gives you that easy, beachy balance—without needing to rush.”


We’ve included experiences that connect you to the soul of southern Vietnam, from exploring hidden alleys and tasting street-side noodle soups to cruising past riverfront villages and relaxing by the sea. It’s a thoughtfully paced itinerary that offers insight, comfort, and just the right amount of adventure.
