The Classic North
Hanoi · Ninh Binh · Ha Long Bay — the essential introduction to northern Vietnam’s history, culture, and legendary bay.
The North, at its most essential.
This six-day introduction to northern Vietnam moves from Hanoi’s Old Quarter and its centuries of history, through the limestone rivers and rice fields of Ninh Binh, to a night aboard a cruise on the legendary waters of Ha Long Bay.
A private car and driver, Arabic and English-speaking guides, and every entrance fee arranged in advance — nothing left for you to plan.
Your 6-day route
Arrival in Vietnam
Private transfer from Noi Bai International Airport, with a driver holding a signboard printed with your name at the arrivals gate. Check in to your hotel and rest after the flight.
Hanoi city tour
A 9:00am start exploring Hanoi’s highlights — a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake, a cyclo ride through the Old Quarter, the city’s famous egg coffee, a traditional water puppet show, and an afternoon at Grand World, wrapping up by 5:00pm.
Trang An & Am Tien Cave
A 9:00am day trip to Ninh Binh, one of Vietnam’s most scenic destinations: a boat ride along the Trang An river through the UNESCO-listed landscape’s three limestone caves, and a visit to the peaceful Am Tien Cave, often called the region’s ‘Absolute Love Valley.’ Return to Hanoi by 4:00pm.
Hanoi → overnight cruise
An 8:30am private transfer by luxury limousine to Ha Long Bay (around 2.5 hours) to board your overnight cruise — Sung Sot (‘Surprise’) Cave, the climb to Titop Island for the bay’s classic panorama, then kayaking and swimming before an evening aboard, ideal whether you’re after adventure or simply a peaceful escape.
Morning on the bay
An early kayak around the limestone karsts before breakfast, then disembark and return to Hanoi by limousine, with the evening free.
