At 5 pm, you will be picked up at your hotel by a taxi or cyclo. Your first stop is the renowned Thang Long Water Puppet Theatre, where you will watch a traditional water puppet performance complete with operatic music. Water puppetry has been a favorite pastime of farmers in northern Vietnam for thousand of years. It is said that this art form first began at a time when rice paddies were flooded and villagers would make entertainment by standing in the waist-deep water with the puppets performing over the water.
After enjoying the traditional puppet show, you will continue your walking tour along the Hanoi Old Quarter. This place is also known as "36 Streets" where hawkers sell a variety of produce (from live seafood to exotic fruits and spices). Here, you will have dinner featuring a good selection of regional Hanoi dishes served in “street” style (local style).
Around 9 pm, you will visit a traditional coffee shop where you can sample authentic Vietnamese tea or coffee. Take time to communicate with the local patrons and learn more about their way of life.
Around 10 pm, you will continue strolling around the Old Quarter to observe Hanoi's night life. You can find some nice spots for taking pictures to keep unforgettable moments of your night tour in Hanoi.
Finally, you will return to your hotel at the end of the tour.
You will be picked up at your hotel at 8.00.a.m to begin your adventure by pedaling from your hotel to the other side of the Red River.
Next, you will cycle through peaceful countryside to observe green rice paddy fields and meet the hospitable locals.
Upon your arrival in But Thap Pagoda, you can visit 100 compartments and 10 buildings covering a total area of 100 meters from the gate of three entrances to the bell-tower and back house. But Thap is recognized as one of the country’s most important cultural relics. The pagoda was built under King Tran Thanh Tong (1258-1278), and rebuilt in 1647 in the Le Dynasty by the Chinese Zen Buddhist priest ZhusZhus (ChuyetChuyet in Vietnamese).
Around 12:00: You will have time for lunch at a local restaurant or with a local family.
After lunch, around 2.p.m, you will resume your ride to Dong Ho handicraft village, which is famous for its traditional wooden block printing. There are only three families involved in this painstaking craft while the rest of the village has opted for more profitable pursuits.
Once coming to this village, you can pay a visit to the house of the craftsman Nguyen Dang Che, who is famous throughout the country for his traditional paintings and to know the way he makes wooden block paintings. And then, you will continue exploring the village by bike, and discover villagers making other paper crafts
Finally, you will go back to your hotel. The trip ends around 4 pm.
As you slink from old-world Hanoi through ancient Hue, past historic Hoi An and to bustling Ho Chi Minh City, you'll quickly realise that the Vietnamese know a thing or two about delicious food. Pho, banh mi, rice paper rolls – oh my! On this 12-day trip from north to south, you’ll be cruising, riding, relaxing, kayaking, drinking, exploring and enjoying all the Vietnamese hospitality. From sailing on the calm waters of Cat Ba Island to picking your own lunch ingredients from a local chef’s garden, you’ll discover that this place is even richer in culture and city hotspots than you thought.

The 27-day trip was very exciting, adventurous and you could make new acquaintances. You became part of a family during the trip. Grade 10. Our CEO Kosal was like a family man to us and looked after us well on the whole journey from Hanoi to Bangkok, grade 10. The journey on the three night trains was an adventure, not for me as the hygiene standards are not as high as in Western Europe, grade 5. Travelling by bus from place to place was great, we often had the same bus driver, they were very helpful, grade 8. The accommodation (double rooms booked to share) was OK and mediocre, the double rooms were better than the multi-bed rooms, but were only mediocre, especially in big cities, grade 6.
The included excursions were top notch and also showed the regional life of the population, I especially loved the G-moments (NGOs supported by G-Adventures) grade 9. Optional excursions, sometimes too expensive for what they were, especially North Vietnam, grade 7.
When booking on the G-Advetuers platform, It was tedious, they had a glitch with the booking platform, and it cost me a lot of nerves and patience until everything was back to normal.
All in all, I was very satisfied.

Would I recommend this particular adventure to a friend, in a word no. However I would caveat this with I had a great time and I would definitely recommend G adventures as a tour group and these three countries are definitely worth visiting. It's only a couple of small points that need 'ironing out' which is understandable considering the relatively new itinerary that has been created. Our CEO minty ensured a smooth tour and I suspect that another tour guide would have handled the issues not as effectively. Thank you, G Adventures, for a wonderful once in a lifetime experience.
