nature altogether. Hanoi is the initial destination of the trip, where
the traveler can wander about the city to see the old structures and to take in
the local way of life. Then, the following place is Ha Long Bay, which has
been awarded the status of a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and where the
amazing limestone formations, which are encircled
by tranquil waters and inhabited by little floating communities, make a
fantastic picture. After that, a flight to Da Nang and then a journey
to the delightful Hoi An Ancient Town, which used to be a thriving trade center
and is now a UNESCO city, together with the stunning Marble
Mountains and My Khe beach. Enjoy the view along with the attractions at Ba Na

Tour Inclusions
On the first day of
your trip, you will arrive at Noi Bai Airport in Hanoi, and a representative
will welcome you, and a driver will take you to your hotel.When
you arrive, you have the option to check in and then take a little break for
your preparations before you head out to the lively capital and discover it slowly according to your pace. Hanoi is a city that shows the old-world charm with
its architecture, while on the other hand lends a modern life, so the tourists
get to experience a little
bit of the history and culture of Vietnam. Getting lost in the Old Quarter is very likely, but
losing your way this way is very nice—seeing and sensing the atmosphere of
crowded streets, open-air markets, and coffee shops
or making a long round to Hoan Kiem Lake to feel and appreciate the peace like
the monks at Ngoc Son Temple do.The entire day is yours to rearrange based
on the new time zone, soak up the local atmosphere, or indulge in your
preferred street food tasting. In the evening, go back to your hotel for a night's
stay, where you can unwind and get ready for the all-day Ninh Binh tour that

their meandering paths, and limestone caves. After

village where you will get very close to the local way of life and culture. After

Cave, which is the largest cave in the bay, moving then to Titop Island, where,
among swimming, sunbathing, and hiking to the tallest viewpoint for catching the panoramic
sight of the bay, one can choose the activity of his/her liking. The
boat will be in the areas less visited by people, thus making the beautiful
scenery the attraction. Of course, the main things that the boat is doing
are the sunset party with tea, cake, and fresh fruits, and the cooking class
where they teach you to
make Vietnamese spring rolls. The
dinner for the cruise will be served on board at night; you can always choose
