Full description

This is a 3-day experience from Hanoi, built around Limousine, Mai Châu and Pu Luong. It is run by Divi Travel., 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.

Pickup is offered from Old Quarter and Hanoi Opera House; the exact spot and time are agreed with Divi Travel. once the booking is confirmed, and the option you choose sets whether transport is included.

The price covers Pick-up and drop-off by limousine bus and minivan with an, Private room with Wi-Fi and access at lovely Homestay with, Lunch, Dinner and local tour guide in Mai Chau, Pu Luong and Ninh Binh. It does not cover Solo traveler: single room supplement + USD 30 for, Optional room upgrades: eco lodge and deluxe hotel: + USD, Personal expenses and Travel insurance, 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.

Hotel pickup in Hanoi. Divi Travel. confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Divi Travel. 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 3-day tour through Mai Chau, Pu Luong and Ninh Binh. The organization and service were excellent. A special thanks to Mia, who followed us remotely throughout the tour, providing daily updates, schedules and constant support whenever needed. The activities were well organized and the local guides were very professional, friendly and helpful. We also had an unexpected situation during the tour, but thanks to the guide’s availability and positive attitude, everything was handled smoothly. One small inconvenience was having to change accommodation every couple of nights. Our homest

I didn’t have much time in Vietnam, but this trip allowed me to visit three places in a very manageable way. The schedule was well balanced and didn’t feel overwhelming. It’s perfect for those who want to make the most out of a short stay. I appreciated how everything was organized efficiently. It made traveling between locations easy and stress-free. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience.
