Full description
This is a experience from Ha Long, built around Bus/coach. It is run by Vietnam Travel Away, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.
Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.
The price covers Pick up and drop-off around Hanoi Old Quarter, tour guide, Entree fees and sightseeing guide, Traditional Vietnamese lunch and A small bottle of mineral water on the bus. It does not cover Drinks order and Private transport, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
Hoàn Kiếm. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Vietnam Travel Away before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Tom was perfect. Sweet, respectful, and explained the journey extremely well.
Sunny was such an amazing tour guide with bright and ‘sunny’ enthusiasm! He made sure we were all having a good time whilst carefully teaching is interesting information about the things we were being shown! I will 100% recommend to everyone who is contemplating on coming to Hanoi!
Amazing day on the bay. The landscape is beautiful, an unique place in the world. Our guide Sunny was also excellent, giving us a lot of good details of Ha Long Bay, and making it a very good time.
Sunny was the best tour guide ever! He is very cultured, informed and helpful. I enjoyed every second in this tour. Highly recommend!
Had a tour with Alex. was a great experience. thx
Guide never contacted us nor showed up. Waste of money.
Tom was amazing, great leader. The trip was exciting and great.
Excelente excursion. Nuestro guía Ken muy atento a las necesidades del grupo. El destino si bien muy concurrido vale la pena conocerlo. Nos tocó un día nublado por lo que las fotos no demuestran la belleza del lugar, sin embargo no hay que dejar de conocerlo.
El conductor del autobús fue magnífico, súper prudente y nada corredor, así que es único en su especie en Hanoi ☺️. El guía Brian, súper atente y complaciente con aquello que se le pide, además controla mucho sobre los detalles de la excursión/actividad, además canta de de maravilla 😍. La tripulación del barco encantadora y el barco genial. La comida que te ofrecen es abundante, no es la más deliciosa que hemos probado, pero se puede comer, además que es adecuada en relación a la calidad/precio que pagas. Sin duda, recomendaría esta excursión, y a esta empresa.
Géniale excursion à Halong Bay. Du fun, beaucoup de visites, une super croisière ! Un grand merci à Sunny ! très drôle et sympa toute la journée :))
