Full description

This is a 8.5-hour experience in Hanoi. It is run by Real Vietnam Travel Company, 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.

A private day with a driver-guide is the way to see the most of a Japanese city or region in one day, because it removes the transfers between sights that eat a third of the day on public transport. Prices are usually per vehicle for up to a set number of guests rather than per person, and cover the car, fuel, tolls and the guide; entrance fees and lunch are paid as you go unless the listing says otherwise. Japanese guides are licensed for the work and typically punctual to the minute. Give the operator your priorities, and expect them to reorder the day around opening hours and crowds; that is what you are paying for.

The price covers Pickup and drop-off in Hanoi Old Quarter, Limousine or Shuttle Bus transport, guide, Entrance fees to all attractions and 1 bottle of water. It does not cover Drinks during lunch, Tips for guide and driver and Personal expenses or optional activities not mentioned, 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 Real Vietnam Travel Company before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had a great time! Our guide (Son) was in touch before the tour, so pick up was easy and the bus was comfortable. We really appreciated the clear and interesting information that Son provided during the tour.

We got a lot of new information, guide was verry informed about everything and his way of presenting it is something others can learn. The whole trip is a must do when in Hanoi. It is packed with a lot of attractions but we still got enough time to take poctures, take coffe and rest. The restaurant they picked for lunch was also verry good. I highly recomend.
