We wake this morning amongst the breathtaking setting of Lan Ha Bay, a geological extension of stunning Halong Bay but much less visited. The greater Halong Bay area is one Southeast Asia's most spectacular natural attractions, whose staggering beauty has seen it list...
Architecturally styled like a French provincial town, with tree-lined boulevards and substantial low-built houses, Hanoi is a wonderfully nostalgic city to enjoy and amongst its more interesting sights are the charming One-Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature and t...
The trip ends after breakfast at our hotel in Hanoi. There are no activities planned today, so you are free to depart from Hanoi at any time. If your flight is departing later in the day, luggage storage facilities are available at our hotel. If you would like an a...
