Itinerary

Our tour begins in the city of Da Nang. The highlights for today are Dragon Bridge, which features a rather unique architectural design, and the beach near our hotel. Today is used mostly for getting settled in.
Today we make a day trip from Da Nang to the charming town of Hoi An. En route, we make a stop in an area called Marble Mountains (a.k.a. Ngũ Hành Sơn). This is essentially a cluster of five marble and limestone hills. All of the mountains have cave entrances and nume...
Before relocating by flight from Da Nang to the capital that is Hanoi, we visit a hill station and resort called Ba Na Hill Station (a.k.a. Ba Na Hills). It was founded in 1919 by French colonists. It was built as a leisure destination for French tourists. Being locat...
Before relocating by land to the town of Ha Giang, we explore Hanoi. Highlights include the Museum of Vietnamese History, the Opera House, and the Dong Xuan Market. Hanoi is home to little streets and alleyways with food stalls, as well as restaurants squeezed up next to each other. The city vibe is one that visitors can easily feel and appreciate.
There is much to see as we relocate today by land from Ha Giang to the village of Dong Van. Firstly, we are taken to Quan Ba Heaven Gate. From there, we hike to the top to see fine views of the surrounding mountains. Next, we are taken to the valley of Lung Tam. En ro...
There is much to see as we relocate today by land from Dong Van to Ba Be National Park. If we are there on a Sunday, first we see Dong Van’s outdoor market. Just watching what is going on is an experience in itself, very culturally rich. Once we have left Dong Van, ou...
Before relocating back to Hanoi, there is much to see and do at Ba Be National Park. The morning starts with a boat cruise around the lake. Highlights include Puong Cave, meeting tribal people in a village called Cam Ha, An Ma Temple, and hiking to and exploring Hua M...
We go on a day trip today to Ha Long Bay. This is Vietnam’s most popular day trip destination…and for good reason. Ha Long Bay is arguably the country’s most naturally gifted area, along with the rice fields of the North. Highlights today include Surprising Cave, swim...
We make another day trip today. Our first destination is the ancient capital of Vietnam, Hoa Lu. There we are provided with a guided tour of 2 temples. Lunch is included on today’s tour and is served after visiting Hoa Lu. Next, we are driven to a river called Tam Coc...
Below is the list of attractions we will try to see today.
1. Presidential Palace 2. One Pillar Pagoda 3. Imperial Citadel of Thang Long 4. Ho Tay Lake: Inside the lake, you can see a pagoda called Chua Tran Quoc. 5. Vietnam Military History Museum 6. Lotte Obs...
Transportation will be arranged for you to reach the airport in Hanoi.
*Phu Quoc is undoubtedly Vietnam’s most beautiful and tropical island. It is quite mountainous, densely forested, and ringed with some fine beaches. Additionally, it offers arguably the best...

Although we get customers of all ages and from several countries, our statistics show most people who book are 30 to 65 years old and from USA, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.We welcome your kids specifically and only when the tour is exclusive to you and your group-meaning other customers are not joining you. We define kids as anyone under 18 years old. In order to make the tour exclusive to you and your group, your booking would need to be for 4 persons or more for any of our tours except Iceland. For our Iceland tour, your booking would need to be for 8 persons or more. Regarding the cost of bringing a non-adult, we do deduct from the total based on the amount of activities you request we remove from the tour. Note that reducing the total price of the tour by removing activities is something offered for non-adults only. Adults can opt out of activities but the total price does not change.
