This tour is designed to give travelers a little taste of the Vietnamese culture in Hanoi.
You will have a guide to help you choose among the many options available to you, but you will be free to do as much or as little as you choose and hopefully be inspired to come back for a longer stay!
Upon arrival at Hanoi 's Noi Bai International airport, you will be greeted by your guide and transferred to your hotel. Then, you’ll have the pleasure of a leisurely cyclo ride to dinner at one of the French colonial villas which have been converted into gourmet restaurants. Finally, you will witness a traditional water puppet performance before retiring for the evening.
After a restful evening, you’ll be able to explore the fascinating Old Quarter and its hundreds of specialty shops, selling silk clothing, lacquerware, embroidered linens, furniture, bamboo, cooking utensils, ceremonial objects and more. You can take a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, enjoy people-watching at one of the numerous stylish cafes or shop for modern art in the city's myriad galleries. You’ll also want to visit Hanoi 's main cultural attractions, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, his House on Stilts, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Fine Arts Museum and the Temple of Literature. After such a busy day, you’ll enjoy a good night’s sleep before one more amazing day.
There are no activities planned for your final day, so you can unwind and plan for the next leg of your journey or opt to take in even more of the city’s offerings before being escorted to the airport for your onward flight.
