Day 1

Welcome to Vietnam

Xin chào, and welcome to Hanoi — a city of timeless charm, captivating contrasts, and warm hospitality!

Upon arrival at Hanoi Airport, your private English-speaking driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. You’ll be transferred to your handpicked boutique hotel for a restful start to your journey.

Take the rest of the day at leisure — perhaps stroll beside Hoan Kiem Lake, breathe in the scent of street-side phở, or simply unwind in your hotel as the city’s energy hums around you.

2 nights in Hanoi – stay in the hotel standard you choose

Hanoi

Day 2

Culture, Colour and Water Puppets

Today begins with an immersive exploration of Vietnam’s storied capital. Your expert local guide walks you through Ba Dinh Square, where independence was declared in 1945, before a stroll through the leafy serenity of Lenin Garden. Dive into the soul of Hanoi as you wander its hidden alleyways — where tailors, teahouses and family traditions thrive. Visit the revered Temple of Literature and the insightful Ethnology Museum. After lunch at a traditional eatery, wind through the Old Quarter’s maze-like streets before capping off the day with a mesmerising water puppet show — a uniquely northern Vietnamese art form.

Breakfast and Lunch are included

Cruise the Limestone Wonder of Halong Bay

Leave the city behind and journey towards Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed seascape of soaring limestone islets. Step aboard your stylish traditional cruise and begin gliding through emerald waters. Enjoy a freshly prepared lunch as the dramatic karsts rise around you. Whether kayaking, visiting caves or simply taking in the views, this overnight experience blends tranquillity with awe. Sunset cocktails and a starlit dinner complete a truly memorable day.

Vibrancy of Saigon
