Day 1: Arrive Hanoi - Halong Bay
On arrival at Hanoi Noi Bai Airport, you will be met and transferred to Halong City. Crossing the rural plain of the Red River Delta, we arrive in Halong Bay, Vietnam’s most famous World Heritage Site. Dinner on your own and overnight in Halong City.
Day 2: Halong Bay - Hanoi (B, L)
We cruise amongst the limestone islets and explore the wondrous caves like beautiful Dau Go Grotto and Thien Cung Cave with richly ornamented stalactites and stalagmites. Enjoy a lavish seafood feast. Back to the land after 5 hours cruise and head to Hanoi.
Take a city tour by cyclo and a performance of traditional Vietnamese Water Puppetry. Dinner on your own and overnight in Hanoi.
Day 3: Hanoi (B)
Commencing the day with a heritage walk, we visit President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and humble house on stilts, as well as the famous One Pillar Pagoda and Temple of Literature (Viet Nam's first University). Learn about Vietnam's craft at Craftlink. Insight into Viet Nam's ethnic diversity is gained at the Museum of Ethnology, while Hoa Lo Prison Museum is a more sobering experience. After enjoying the tranquility of Hoan Kiem Lake's Ngoc Son Temple we are free to explore the intriguing and bustling Old Quarter with its 36 streets packed with traditional handicrafts and goods. Overnight in Ha Noi.
South of Ha Noi in Ninh Binh province is Hoa Lu, Vietnam’s former capital in the 10th century, where we visit the two remaining temples of Dinh and Le dynasties. We continue to travel by rowboat on Ngo Dong river through the region of limestone mountains to visit the magnificent grotto of Tam Coc ( Three Caves), so called "Halong Bay on land". Continue to visit Bich Dong Pagoda, a combination of three pagodas on the Lower, Middle and Upper levels of a scenic mountain. Be back to Hanoi in the late afternoon. Overnight in Ha Noi.
Free time for your last minute shopping in the old quarter before departing to the airport for your ongoing flight.

"We are very happy for the arrangements you did for us. Everything was perfect from the first beautiful roses we received upon arrival at Hanoi aiport, all the way through Vietnam until the 29th of March when we left your country. The guides were perfect and spoke very good English. All places they took us to were very interesting and we learnt a lot about Vietnam. We will recommend you to our friends." (Tour: Vietnam holiday from Mar 15-29, 08) (Mr. Goran Forslund from Sweden)
