CHARMING HANOI AND HA LONG BAY IN STYLE 6 DAYS

Upon arrival at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International airport, you will be greeted by your guide and transferred to your hotel.

Then you can experience a performance at the Thang Long Water Puppet Theater before retiring for an overnight stay in Hanoi.

Day 2: Hanoi City Tour (B/L)

On day two, you’ll be able to explore the fascinating Old Quarter and its hundreds of specialty shops, selling silk clothing, lacquer ware, embroidered linens, furniture, bamboo, cooking utensils, ceremonial objects and more. You can take a stroll around Hoan Kiem Lake, enjoy people-watching at one of the numerous stylish cafes or shop for modern art in the city's myriad galleries. You’ll also have the chance to visit Hanoi’s main cultural attractions, including the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, his House on Stilts, the One Pillar Pagoda, the Fine Arts Museum and the Temple of Literature.

Day 3: Hanoi - Ha Long Bay with night on Deluxe Junk (B/L/D)

You will have a private pick up at 8:30 a.m. and be taken to the jetty where you will arrive at approximately 12:30 p.m. You will board a Chinese junk and set sail through the bay while lunch is served. As you cruise the magical bay, you will notice thousands of sculpted limestone islands rising from the waves like dragons' teeth. After lunch, you’ll continue on, passing by and visiting Dinh, Ga Choi and Dog islands, Binh Phong Mountain, Sung Sot Cave and Titop Beach.
