Ancient Wonders of Vietnam Itinerary

When you arrive at Hanoi International Airport, our friendly local representative will be there to greet you. They will take you to the hotel where you can check in. After settling in, we will start our city tour.

First, we will visit the Temple of Literature, which is the first university in Vietnam. Then, we will head to Ba Dinh Square, the largest square in Hanoi, where many important cultural events take place. After that, you will get a magnificent view of the capital by taking a "cyclo" ride around the Old Quarter of Hanoi. We will make a stop at Ngoc Son Temple. Tonight, you will stay at the hotel in Hanoi.

After having breakfast today, you will go to Ninh Binh, which is south of Hanoi. This place is known for its beautiful landscapes, including Tam Coc Caves and the ancient capital of Hoa Lu with old temples dedicated to King Dinh & King Le.

Your visit to Ninh Binh starts with a boat trip in Tam Coc. Here, you will see amazing limestone hills rising from the green fields, creating a scene similar to Halong Bay in Vietnam. After that, you will explore the site that used to be the king's palace in the 10th century. Now, it's famous for the wooden carvings at the Dinh and Le temples. Lunch is included in the plan. In the late afternoon, you'll return to Hanoi and spend the night at the hotel.

Start the day with breakfast. Today, we're heading to Halong Bay, a place recognized as a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1994. Once we arrive in Halong, we will hop on a boat to explore the incredible beauty of this bay, often referred to as the "Descending-dragon" bay. It is filled with thousands of uniquely shaped limestone rocks and caves.

After enjoying a tasty lunch with fresh seafood on the boat, we will visit the Surprising Grotto, take some time for swimming or kayaking, cruise past floating villages, and get close to small islands to appreciate their beauty. We will return to the boat for dinner, and in the evening, you can join onboard activities or simply relax. You will spend the night on the boat.

After having breakfast, this morning you will be taken to the airport for your flight back home or to your next destination.
