One month moving through Vietnam. Solo travellers who travel together. Designed for people with time, curiosity, and zero interest in tours or packages.
Cafés that open before sunrise. Overnight trains where you fall asleep in one city and wake up in another. Old town streets packed with tailors who'll make you anything in 24 hours. Sheer rock towers rising out of rice fields. Motorbikes over the Hai Van Pass.
One day a week is planned together: a Mekong Delta homestay, a cooking school with a local chef, the Hai Van Pass by motorbike (or from the seat of the jeep), an overnight boat in Bai Tu Long Bay. The rest of the time you're on your own. Most people grab a scooter and disappear for the day. Some find a café and stay there for hours. A few join up for dinner and compare notes. Accommodation is characterful and well-chosen. Not five-star, but a long way from budget. The sleeper train is exactly what it sounds like.
This trip works for you if
You want adventure travel through Vietnam, are happy on a motorbike (even riding pillion) as you are on a sleeper train, find joy not boredom on boats and in old towns, and approach things like a Mekong homestay with curiosity even if it's outside your everyday. The average age on our trips is 65. Most people are done with work or taking a break from it, and treating this like the gap year they never had.
