About Vietnam

This five-day itinerary is a focused introduction to Northern Vietnam, built around three of the region's most-booked experiences: Hanoi's Old Quarter, the karst rivers of Ninh Binh, and an overnight cruise through Ha Long Bay. The trip opens with city sightseeing in Hanoi covering the Temple of Literature, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Old Quarter, followed by a day trip to Ninh Binh for a traditional sampan boat ride through Trang An or Tam Coc's limestone caves and rice paddies. The final stretch is an overnight cruise in Ha Long Bay, with kayaking and a cave visit included before returning to Hanoi.

This package suits first-time visitors to Vietnam who want a well-paced northern circuit without the added distance of Central or South Vietnam. Sightseeing is on a shared (group/SIC) basis unless a private upgrade is arranged.
