DAY 01: HANOI - ARRIVAL

Welcome to Hanoi, you will be collected by our local guide at Hanoi Airport and transferred to the hotel for check-in (Check-in time at 02.00 PM earlier time will be up on arrival). Relax after a long flight at the hotel and have lunch on your own.
In the afternoon, we will head to the Temple of Literature constructed in 1070 dedicating to Confucius, sages, and scholars. It was also the first university in Viet Nam once.
Afterward, we will enjoy a leisure cyclo tour around the Old Quarter and Hoan Kiem Lake. This "authentic" way allows you to discover the city center with intense emotions. It's like you are in the center of a whirlwind of movement, wrapped in a cacophony of horns and the bustle of people who try to make their way in the middle of all this excitement.
Then arrive at the legendary Hoan Kiem lake. Visit Ngoc Son Temple dedicated to Tran Hung Dao - General Commander for his struggle against Mongolians. Stop at your hotel after an hour's ride. Dinner on your own.

On our way back to Hanoi now for our last night. Ha Long Bay was beautiful and the boat was very nice. The trip has been without any issues. The guides were all good. John was exceptionally brilliant and we all fell in love with him. Long was fantastic too. We have more friends planning to visit Vietnam, we will definitely recommend your team. – Ms. Shirley
