Tours
Halong Bay Excursion (Full Day)
With this excursion, you will leave early in the morning to travel east of Hanoi to Halong with sightseeing en route. Arriving at Halong, you will
board a private boat for a 4-hour cruise to Halong Bay, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of outstanding natural beauty. Known as “Dragon
Descending to the Sea“ by the Vietnamese, picturesque Halong Bay has more than 3,000 limestone islets rising from the clear emerald water. Many
contain beautiful grottoes such as Thien Cung and Dau Go. You will be served a seafood lunch before you drive back to Hanoi in the afternoon.
Hanoi City Tour (Full Day)
Your tour begins with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and his former residence the One Pillar Pagoda. Then it’s on to Quan Thanh Temple
for lunch at a local restaurant. Continue to the Temple of Literature, then experience the panoramic cycle tour in the afternoon followed by a visit
to Ngoc Son Temple and Hoan Kiem Lake. Drop by Thang Long Theatre to enjoy the famous water puppet show, a traditional Vietnamese art form.
Originating from rural festivals in Vietnam, the performers stand waist-deep in water to manipulate the puppets - making them move, talk, laugh
and even dance on the surface of the water.
Perfume Pagoda (Full Day)
Depart from Hanoi to Perfume Pagoda 75 kilometres southwest of the capital, where Vietnamese make a pilgrimage during an annual religious festival
in spring. The pagoda is a vast complex of Buddhist temples and shrines built into the limestone Huong Tich Mountains. Enjoy a nice boat trip along
the picturesque waterways, then spend a few of hours climbing up to the legendary Buddhist pagoda, built in the beautiful Karst Cliffs of Huong Tich.
