Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the country's second largest city. As the capital of Vietnam for almost a thousand years, Hanoi is considered one of the main cultural centers of Vietnam, where most Vietnamese dynasties have left their imprint. Even though some relics have not survived through wars and time, the city still has many interesting cultural and historic monuments for visitors and residents alike.
Hanoi has rich food traditions and many of Vietnam's most famous dishes; it has been selected as one of the top 10 cities for food in the world by Shermans Travel. Vietnam's national dish Phở has been also named as one of the Top5 street food in the world by global post.
Go back in time on this day tour to the Ninh Binh Providence and explore Hoa Lu, the ancient capital of Vietnam, surrounded by limestone mountains and pristine green fields. Visit the Dinh and Le dynasty temples, palaces, and monuments. Discover the interesting history of the mesmerizing Nhat Tru Pagoda where a princess was sentenced to nunnery and lost her life down a well. Top it all off with a sampan boat ride through three caves! Have your camera ready because these are sites you'll never want to forget.
Vietnam is home to many highlights and wonders spread throughout the vast length of the diverse country.
This unbeatably priced tour gives you 5 days to explore what Hanoi and Halong, two of the best spots in the country, have to offer. Experience both the hustle and bustle of Hanoi and the calm and tranquility of the world-famous UNESCO Halong Bay with its emerald waters.
In Hanoi, take a one-of-a-kind tour by cyclo and see a traditional water-puppet show. See the best sites of the city including Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum, the Presidential Palace, Ho Chi Minh's house on stilts, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Museum of Ethnology and the Temple of Literature.
In Halong Bay, enjoy a boat cruise and spend a day and a half exploring the stunning seascape and natural rock formations from the decks of a traditional Vietnamese boat.
You will be picked up at your hotel (only at Hoan Kiem District) about 7.45 am to enjoy an amazing full-day tour discovering Perfume Pagoda in Hanoi.
Around 10 am, you will get access to the Perfume Pagoda. Thought to be the first temple constructed in the limestone mountains of Huong Tich six centuries ago, the Huong Pagoda is a giant complex of Buddhist temples and shrines. This pagoda is also the center of a religious festival which attracts a large number of pilgrims from all over Vietnam.
Situated at the center of this complex is the Perfume Temple also known as Chua Huong or ‘inner temple’. It is a very revered and sacred site owing to a complicated system of mainly Buddhist temples constructed in the limestone cliffs of Huong Tich.
Here, you will go on a 1.5-hour boat trip to admire the incredible scenery while being at the center of the ink painting.
After that, you will pay a visit to the Thien Tru Pagoda before making a stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
Around 16.30, you will join the boat trip back to Ben Duc.
Finally, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Hanoi. The trip ends about 6 pm.
Trace Vietnam’s eastern coastline on this 15-day adventure, seeing the country from south to north and discovering the many natural and heritage wonders along the way. From the modern chaos of Ho Chi Minh City all the way up to old-world Hanoi, you'll experience tumultuous history, architectural charm, vibrant colours, delicious food and inspiring scenery on your adventure. Take a boat cruise along the Mekong Delta, tour the backstreets of Hoi An with a local, enjoy a rural homestay in Pu Luong and explore the beautiful karsts of Lan Ha Bay.

"Awesome time in Vietnam went with my 2 adult children and husbandLucy did a great job of creating a fun experience that was exactly
what I was looking for . Only had one hiccup with communication but overall the places we stayed were amazing and fun
Asia is a little gritty – it is a more challenging vacation than Europe for sure – so you will need help with transfers and getting around .
English is not as expected and a lot of people do not speak it ( Europe English is a second language. Here it is not so) due to communist infrastructure
People were super nice tho and
Really loved Hanoi / Mekong delta / Hoi An
It was very different than any other places you may have gone
Highly recommend Lucy and This Tour operator"

Ive done 3 trips with intro and loved them all, but my most recent one with Jabs and Sophie in Vietnam was especially memorable. The trip was very well organised and we covered a lot of sight seeing, activities etc. Jabs and Sophie were always full of energy and happy to help with anything and everything. I would 100% recommend intro tours if you enjoy travelling!

Spend two days on board a five-star luxury cruise and see the best of Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay.
The brand new cruise comes with three decks: a lower deck with reception, cabins, and boarding area; a middle deck with cabins, and an indoor restaurant and bar; and a rooftop sundeck with open bar, coffee lounge, spa and sauna. There are 21 high-end cabins with five different styles to suit your preference.
We set sail through the spectacular landscape of Ha Long Bay and along the way visit Sung Sot Cave, the largest in the bay, and conquer Ti Top Island peak, from where we can enjoy the panoramic view of the bay. We have also planned various activities on board the cruise. So come join us in a two-day, one-night Ha Long Bay extravaganza.
Unlike popular visits to temples, a pilgrimage excursion to the Perfume Pagoda is a combination of religious pilgrimage, slow boat trip between poetic mountains and streams, and light climbing exercises.
ITINERARY
In the morning (exact time will be advised upon reconfirmation), you will be picked-up at your hotel and then on a comfortable A/C bus, heading West of Hanoi for about 70km. As soon as the city traffic is over, you will be passing by nicely tranquil rural villages, paddy fields with hospitable people until reaching the Yen Vy Wharf, from where we take a boat downstream to Duc Wharf and start our light climbing up to Huong Tich Grotto, a sacred place for every Northern Vietnamese. Lunch en route. The whole trip may take 08 hours until coming back to your hotel in Hanoi. February, March and June are to avoid for too bustling festive time, or for the heat of summer.
We came as a mother and daughter duo and everything went very smoothly! We didn't have to worry about transportation or hotels. I'd certainly recommend if it's your first time to the country. Halong Bay and the Cu Chi tunnels were the highlights of our trip and are a must.
