HANOI CITY TOUR
Southeast Asia’s oldest capital city, Hanoi home to unique sights and extensive history. This one day tour is as packed as possible, led by a local guide who is part of the local non-profit organization Hanoi Kids. We start with a tour of the temple on the lake, Hoan Kiem, and then head to the Temple of Literature. The Temple of Literature, the symbol of Hanoi, was founded in 1076 as the imperial academy, and therefore Vietnam’s first university. The tour will continue to the War Prison Museum, offering an honest look into the struggles and lessons of Vietnam’s war history.
Once we've worked up an appetite, we'll get introduced to Vietnamese cuisine properly by a Hanoian student. They will take us through some of Vietnam’s most traditional and most delicious favourites.

3 DAY TOUR - HALONG BAY
To find the most beautiful and hidden spots of pristine Halong Bay, we’ve made sure to cover all the bases. We spend one night aboard a houseboat, complete with private rooms, hot showers, AC, and delectable meals.
Our time on the water is absolutely packed with activities: a guided tour of Heavenly Cave; kayak into hidden lagoons; water sports in the crystal clear bay. To cap off the day, we watch the sun set with fresh fruits and a complementary glass of wine before we turn the party up.
Kick off day two by staring down a 12 meter cliff, then relax on Freedom Island, a tiny private island in Lan Ha Bay. Lan Ha, quieter and less visited than Halong, doesn’t have the traffic and noise of its busier neighbour, and you’ll be able to float in the sea or toss around a beach volleyball undisturbed. At night, keep an eye out for glowing plankton! While the intensity depends on the time of year, expect to see at least a few of the bright sea life.
On day three, we will sail back to Hanoi, pausing again in Halong Bay. While all three days of this trip have incredible food, you’ll play chef today with a culinary lesson best taught in Vietnam: the art of the perfect spring roll.

The Củ Chi tunnels have a long and storied history of hiding military campaigns during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes during different periods of political unrest.
