Itinerario
Hanoi Arrival
Upon arrival at Noi Bai International airport in Hanoi, you will be welcomed by our driver and driven to the city center.
Hanoi is the capital of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Large areas of present-day Hanoi were built during the French occupation, reflected in its French-inspired architecture, which come together to give the city a very distinctive charm.
Explore Hanoi by a city tour. The city tour begins with visits to Ho Chi Minh’s Stilt House and Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace and the One Pillar Pagoda, and Hanoi’s oldest place of worship: the thousand year-old Tran Quoc Pagoda.
The afternoon begins with an extensive Cyclo tour around Hoan Kiem Lake and through the lively streets and alleys of the Old Quarter.
After dinner, the rest of the night is at your leisure to discover the city’s nightlife.
Suggestion: You might like to grab a local beer “Bia Hoi” at Ta Hien Street to experience Hanoi’s street night life in the Old Quarter.

Ha Long Bay is located 165 km east of Hanoi, in Quang Ninh Province. The site covers an area of 434 square km and comprises 775 limestone islets. Each islet has been marvelously carved by wind and water and, through time, stand as sculptures which decorate the vast expanses. Together they are a testament to the forces of nature and live up to the aptly named Bay of the Descending Dragon.

Seafood lunch-on-the-bay.
Spend the afternoon cruising around Ha Long Bay’s thousands of limestone islets and caves and see the sun setting over the calm waters. Visit a natural grotto with spectacular formations en-route.
