DAY 1: Hanoi – Arrival & Capital Hidden Gems

Morning
Arrive in Hanoi, where our professional guide will greet you with a warm welcome and a refreshing introduction to Vietnam’s hospitality. Enjoy a private transfer to your elegant 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of the city. Along the way, relax with cool drinks and tropical fruits while watching the capital awaken — tree-lined boulevards, French colonial villas, and the vibrant rhythm of local life blending in perfect harmony.

Afternoon
Discover the Hanoi Old Quarter, a living museum of culture and tradition. Stroll through a maze of narrow streets where history lingers in every brick wall and every aroma — from freshly brewed coffee to sizzling street delicacies. Admire ancient houses standing beside graceful colonial façades, capturing the city’s blend of past and present.

Evening
Embark on a mini food tour, tasting Hanoi’s most beloved dishes: smoky bún chả, flavorful phở, delicate bánh cuốn, and crispy nem rán (spring rolls). Between bites, pause for a creamy egg coffee in a cozy hidden café — an experience that truly embodies the soul of Hanoi.

Night
Immerse yourself in the color and fragrance of Hanoi’s night flower market, where lanterns glow and baskets overflow with jasmine, lilies, and roses. Watch locals trade laughter and petals — a secret charm of the city that comes alive after dark. Return to your hotel and rest well for the adventures ahead.

DAY 2: Ha Long Bay – Natural Wonder of the World

Morning
Begin your day with a scenic drive through the Red River Delta, passing emerald rice fields, peaceful villages, and conical-hatted farmers tending to their crops. Arrive at Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its breathtaking seascape of limestone pillars rising from tranquil emerald waters.

Board your private luxury day cruise and set sail across this legendary bay. Feel the gentle sea breeze and the soft rhythm of waves as you glide past stunning karst formations. Enjoy a fresh seafood lunch on deck, featuring the finest catches of the day — grilled prawns, steamed clams, and delicate fish dishes prepared in local style.
After lunch, choose your pace: paddle a kayak through hidden lagoons, take a dip in clear blue waters, or simply relax on the sun deck with a refreshing drink in hand as the bay stretches endlessly around you.

Late Afternoon
Travel back to Hanoi in the comfort of your private limousine, watching the countryside bathed in sunset hues. Upon arrival, enjoy a delightful dinner by West Lake, savoring two of Hanoi’s signature dishes — crispy bánh tôm (West Lake shrimp pancakes) and tangy bún ốc (Hanoi snail noodle soup). Let the soft breeze and shimmering lights on the lake create a perfect evening ambiance.

Night
End your day with a visit to Ba Dinh Square to witness the flag-lowering ceremony at Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum — a solemn yet stirring moment symbolizing national pride and unity. Return to your hotel for a peaceful night’s rest.

DAY 3: Ninh Binh – Natural Beauty & Cultural Heritage

Morning
Depart from Hanoi for Ninh Binh, often called “Ha Long Bay on Land.” Along the journey, watch the scenery transform — from urban bustle to vast rice plains framed by limestone mountains. Arrive at Tam Cốc, where nature and heritage blend in perfect balance.
Embark on a traditional sampan boat ride along gentle rivers winding through golden paddies and mysterious caves. Each turn of the waterway reveals another breathtaking view, as if nature itself were painting the landscape before your eyes.

Noon
Immerse yourself in the flavors of rural Vietnam with two delightful options:
– Cooking Class: Learn to prepare authentic Vietnamese dishes, from fragrant stir-fries to hand-rolled spring rolls, guided by a friendly local chef.
– Countryside Lunch: Relax at a charming garden restaurant and enjoy a comforting meal prepared with fresh local ingredients and warm hospitality.

Afternoon
After lunch, unwind on your private transfer back to Hanoi. As your journey draws to a close, reflect on the beauty, culture, and kindness that have defined your Vietnamese adventure — memories that linger long after you’ve returned home.
