Welcome to Hanoi! Your guide and driver are waiting for you right outside the customs in the Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport, with a welcome board bearing your name. After a warm greeting, you’ll be escorted to the well-selected hotel. Have a short break and we will unlock this 14-day Vietnam tour.

First, we will drive a little while to admire the Hanoi Opera House, which is an architectural symbol of the French colonial period.

Continue ahead to the lively Old Quarter, with 36 streets each emphasizing on one particular product for sale. You’ll definitely be dazzled by a rich variety of traditional food and handicrafts. While walking on the narrow streets, be ready to exclaim over Vietnam’s sobriquet - Motorcycle Kingdom - when swarms of motorbikes dash past you.

Then head for the Hoan Kiem Lake to discover a legend behind its name “Lake of the Returned Sword”. Once, there was a giant turtle in the lake, and the founding monarch of the Late Le Dynasty (1428-1789) used a sword the turtle gave to him to fight against invaders.

Continue to a small island embraced by the lake to pay respect to the 100-year-old Ngoc Son Temple. At last, a big dinner will be arranged for you in a popular local restaurant, where you can sample authentic Vietnamese dishes like spring rolls and beef noodles and chat with your guide. After that, your guide will escort you back to the cozy hotel.
