Itinerary

Day 1

Arrival in Hanoi. Half-day city tour of Hanoi.

As you arrive in Hanoi, our local tour guide warmly greets you and escorts you to your downtown hotel.

In the afternoon, we'll take you to the vibrant Ba Dinh Square, where you can witness some of the biggest cultural and political events in the city.

Our first stop will be the Complex of Ho Chi Minh, which includes the iconic Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, his house-on-stilts, fishpond, and the One-Pillar Pagoda.

Next, we'll visit the Temple of Literature, which is widely considered the first university in Vietnam.

To give you an overall view of the city, we'll take you on a 1-hour cyclo ride around the historic Old Quarter of Hanoi and the picturesque Hoan Kiem Lake, also known as the "Sword" Lake.

As you wander through the narrow streets of the Old Quarter, you'll get a glimpse of the daily life of the local people.

At the end of the day, we'll transfer you back to your hotel for an overnight stay in Hanoi.

Night activities suggestion: For your night activities, we suggest visiting Ta Hien Streets to enjoy local beer while listening to live music and immersing yourself in the lively atmosphere with young people and tourists alike. Alternatively, you can explore the hundred bars and pubs in the Old Quarter, or indulge in some shopping at the various boutique shops and malls.

Day 2

Full Day Tour To Ninh Binh – Hoa Lu – Tam Coc.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast at your hotel before embarking on an exciting journey to Ninh Binh, which is located 90 km south of Hanoi.

Ninh Binh was once the capital city of ancient Vietnam before Hanoi took over in the 11th century. The area is renowned for its stunning landscapes, which include the Tam Coc Caves and the Hoa Lu ancient capital, featuring old temples dedicated to King Dinh and King Le who reigned in the 10th century.

Our visit to Ninh Binh will begin with a boat trip in Tam Coc, where you can marvel at the spectacular limestone karsts that rise from the lush green paddy fields, creating a scenery similar to Guilin in China and Halong Bay in Vietnam. This scenery has earned the nickname "Halong-bay-on-land".

Enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant.

After lunch, we'll continue our discovery of Ninh Binh by visiting the Bich Dong Pagoda.

On our way back to Hanoi in the afternoon, we'll make a stop to visit Hoa Lu, a site that used to be the kings' palace in the 10th century and is now famous for its wooden reliefs in the shady Dinh and Le temples.

Late in the afternoon, we'll arrive back in Hanoi for an overnight stay.

Day 3

Day tour from Hanoi to Hanlong

Start your day with breakfast at the hotel.

Get ready for an unforgettable experience as we take you to Halong Bay, a Natural World Heritage site known as the pride of the Gulf of Tonkin.

We will embark on a more than 3.5-hour journey eastward to Tuan Chau Marina, where you'll board a 4-hour day cruise to explore the breathtaking beauty of this "Descending-dragon" bay.

Marvel at the thousands of odd-shaped limestone rocks and karst grottoes that dot the landscape, each with its own unique name based on its shape, such as Sail Island, Fisherman's Head Rock, Butterfly Rock, or Turtle Islet.

During our cruise, we will stop to visit the grottos and pass by floating houses. Enjoy a delicious lunch onboard before returning to the pier and disembarking. We will then transfer you back to Hanoi for your leisure time.
