Hi there, couple of Aussies 31 year old who are excited for our trip in June. Active outdoors but also enjoy city history culture food and nightlife

Some questions:

Hanoi vs Ho Chi Minh? We aren’t sure how much time to spend in both

Lan Ho Bay vs Ha Long Bay? (Overnight cruise or just stay by the water?)

Hoi An - is it just nice relaxing beach & tailors ?

Thoughts on Hue?

Any tips for the Ha Giang Loop?

I’m 6’4 but want to do an overnight VIP bus, will I be able to sleep or still won’t be comfortable?

Thankyou, we are excited to experience Vietnam just sadly only have 2 weeks so need to prioritize.

Hi there, first time visitor to Vietnam from Australia with my girlfriend, we are both 31. We have just over 2 weeks there so want to get the right balance of seeing Vietnam but also not constantly moving around trying to do too much.

This is a rough itinerary we have put together, we'd be keen for any feedback on it and advice. We'd love to do the Loop as a priority for our trip. We like exploring the outdoors but also learning about history/culture/nightlife. This trip would be end of May and into June. We understand it is rainy in alot of these areas but are okay with it

We think breaking down our trip to 3 segments, exploring the north including the ha giang loop - the centre for beach and relaxation and then finish back at HCM.

Any help is much appreciated ! Thankyou
