Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the best way to see the city?
The best way to see the city is by taking a structured Hanoi city tour or doing a self-guided Hanoi old quarter walking tour. Both allow you to see the historic architecture and vibrant market life at your own pace.

While day trips exist, they are often rushed. We recommend an overnight stay on a cruise, which is why our Hanoi and Halong Bay tour includes a full cruise experience to fully appreciate the scenery.

Sapa is about 300km from the city. The journey takes several hours, but our Sapa tour from Hanoi on day 5 includes comfortable, organized transport to make the trip as smooth as possible
Q: What should I pack for the trekking days?
Bring comfortable walking shoes, a light rain jacket, and layers, as the mountain weather can change quickly. Your guide will provide more specific advice based on the season.
