Landing in the heart of the North.

Upon your arrival at Noi Bai International Airport, our driver will be waiting to whisk you away to your cozy hotel in the Hanoi Old Quarter. After checking in, the rest of the day is yours to breathe in the unique atmosphere of this thousand-year-old city.

Explore at your own pace:

• Take a slow walk around the iconic Hoan Kiem Lake and cross the scarlet The Huc Bridge.

• Wander through the “36 Streets” to witness the daily hustle or find a quiet corner at a local café to try the famous Egg Coffee.

• Optional: For a more authentic “Hanoian” experience, we recommend hopping on a Cyclo, Electric Car or a Motorbike to glide through the narrow alleys without getting lost.

Evening Delights:

As the sun sets, Hanoi transforms into a street food paradise. Since your hotel is right in the heart of the Old Quarter, you are perfectly positioned to dive into the city’s authentic flavors.

Tonight is yours to explore at your own pace. We suggest wandering deeper into the hidden alleys where the real culinary gems are found – from the sizzle of Bun Cha to the aromatic steam of a hidden Pho stand. After satisfying your taste buds, head towards the iconic St. Joseph’s Cathedral to enjoy a signature lemon tea and soak in the night atmosphere, or catch the unique vibe of Train Street for a memorable nightcap.

• Accommodation: 3-star hotel in the heart of the Old Quarter.

• Meals: On your own to ensure maximum flexibility with your flight schedule.

After breakfast at your hotel, we’ll head south toward Ninh Binh, often called “Ha Long Bay on Land”.

10:00 | Bai Dinh Pagoda: A Spiritual Giant

Your journey begins at the Bai Dinh Pagoda complex, the largest Buddhist site in Vietnam. Marvel at the sheer scale of the architecture as you walk along the Arhat corridor, visit the colossal bronze Buddha statues, and listen to the echoes of the Great Bell. It’s a place where history and spirituality meet on a grand scale.

12:00 | Local Flavor Lunch

Time to refuel with a feast of Ninh Binh’s specialties. You must try the famous mountain goat meat and crispy rice (Com Chay) – the true taste of this limestone land.

13:30 | Trang An: The Soul of the Journey

Board a traditional sampan boat for a serene voyage through the Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex. You’ll glide through emerald waters, passing under mysterious limestone caves (Lam, Vang, and Dai caves) and stopping at ancient temples and the historic Vu Lam Royal Palace, which seems to rise directly from the water.

15:30 | Mua Cave: The Panoramic Finale

The “Grand Finale” of the day is Mua Cave. Challenge yourself with a 500-step climb up Ngoa Long Mountain. The reward? A breathtaking, 360-degree panoramic view of the Ngo Dong River and the golden rice fields of Tam Coc below.

The Final Conquest: Upon reaching the upper station, challenge yourself with a 604-step climb (or take the funicular) to reach the Summit of Fansipan at 3,143 meters.
