Hanoi Arrival

When you arrive at the Noi Bai International airport you'll be met at the baggage claim by our friendly guide. Just look for the sign with our Asia Tour Advisor logo and your name. We'll get you to your hotel and see that you're comfortable, plus we'll give you an introduction to the city at the same time. Then the rest of the day is yours to settle in, relax, and explore the area.

Hanoi is Vietnam’s capital city and home to seven million people. Traditional and refined with French colonial architecture, tree-lined boulevards, scenic lakes and a bustling Old Quarter, Hanoi has a sophisticated charm. Observe locals practicing Tai Chi by the lake, with barbers and food vendors plying their sidewalk trade.

Hanoi city tour full day

You'll have your breakfast at the hotel and then the local tour guide will pick you up to take you into the capital city of Vietnam. Hanoi is over 1,000 years old and during your day tour you'll get to explore many of its fascinating cultural and historical sites. You'll visit the imposing Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where the preserved body of “Uncle Ho” has been laid to rest, the delicate One Pillar Pagoda, Tran Quoc Temple and the Quan Thanh Pagoda.

After lunch you can go to the Temple of Literature where you'll get to see ancient Vietnamese relics, then take a cyclo tour in 1 hour through the bustling and exciting Old Quarter to explore marketplace shops and foods. You'll end your day with a show at the water puppet theater - a beautifully unique cultural performance from northern Vietnam.

Hanoi – Halong Bay

We'll pick you up in Hanoi by 8:00am and drive through the verdant Red River Delta to make our way to the famous UNESCO World Heritage site, Halong Bay. You'll board a luxury junk ship for an overnight cruise-- while you relax on-board you can marvel at the incredible limestone karsts that jut out of the sea and the thousands of jungle-covered islands that seem to float on the waves. The turquoise waters of the Gulf of Tonkin swirl around hidden grottoes and ancient caves to create an enchanting, timeless world.

We'll serve you a fresh seafood lunch while you sit back and relax as you enjoy the incredible view with a drink in your hand. We'll take you to a traditional fishing village where the locals have created an entire town on the decks of their boats, then you can explore Tien Ong Cave before returning to the cruise for cocktails, canapés, and a spectacular sunset. End your day with a romantic, candlelit dinner.

Halong Bay - Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh City

Begin the day with a Tai Chi class on deck in the early morning mist or just admire the beautiful scenery as the sun rises over the azure waters. Choose between an excursion to a secluded island with a sandy beach for a swim or join the chef for a cooking demonstration to learn more about Vietnamese cuisine. Enjoy a leisurely brunch while your junk cruises Halong Bay, passing islets and caves as you make your way back to the dock.

Your driver will meet you when you disembark and transfer you to Noi Bai airport for your flight to Ho Chi Minh City. After you arrive we'll get you to your hotel and then you can spend the evening exploring the bustling city of Saigon.

Saigon is a city that never sleeps and offers a plethora of great restaurants and bars catering to all tastes, from street food vendors to the rooftop bar at the Rex Hotel, where international correspondents covered the Vietnam War and where the U.S. military attaché’s press briefing was held daily and dubbed the “Five O’clock Follies”. Whatever your interests, be sure to ask your guide for personal recommendations.

Ho Chi Minh City - Cu Chi Tunnels

We'll pick you up in the morning and take you to the Cu Chi Tunnels, a major part of the Vietnam-American War and a fascinating day trip-- explore the mysterious tunnels, find hidden doors and once-deadly traps. After lunch we'll go back to HCMC and spend the afternoon either visiting the War Remnants Museum or the Presidential Palace, whichever you prefer. Then stroll around the city's colonial streets in the evening to the Old Saigon Post Office, Dong Khoi Street, Continental Hotel, Opera House and City Hall.

Ho Chi Minh City - Mekong Delta – My Tho

From Ho Chi Minh we'll take a short drive through lush green rice fields into the Mekong Delta and the town of My Tho. We'll stop to visit the Vinh Trang Pagoda and take a hand-rowed sampan boat down the mighty Mekong, drifting under the shade of coconut trees through the river's natural canals. You'll get to see wooden stilt houses, aromatic fruit plantations and traditional fishing villages built along the banks. At Tortoise Islet we'll stop to have lunch in an orchard garden, then continue down the river to An Khang. If you'd like, we can take a short bicycle tour (you can apply for a private tour if time permits) and enjoy seasonal fruit, honey, and tea to the beautiful sounds of southern Vietnamese folk music performed by local musicians. In one of the small river villages you can taste delicious, hand-made coconut candies while you experience the idyllic rural lifestyle. Then transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City.

Departure from Ho Chi Minh City

You have free time in the morning until your private car arrives to take you to the airport for your next destination.

Great prices and excellent service

For our trip to Vietnam we booked our tours and most of our accommodation for Vietnam through Xuan. I highly recommend using Xuan and the team at Asia Tour Advisors to help book your tour. Xuan answered all of our questions and responded promptly to each email. We booked the Mekong Delta cruise staying at the Mekong Lodge and the Halong Signature Cruise tour through Asia Tour Advisor’s and had an amazing time. I recommend the Signature Cruises as the boat is amazing and looks just like the photos. We had our own driver who was fantastic. They provide great prices and excellent service. Very happy and will deffintly be using Asia Tour Advisor services again.

Thanh at ATA arranged our overnight cruise on Halong Bay, along with car transfers from our hotel in Hanoi and then onto the airport after the cruise. The whole process was very smooth and efficient, with prompt responses to e-mails and a comfortable car with a driver who spoke some English. I’d use them again on future trips.

We had a great time on Dragon Pearl organized by Xuan @ Asia Tour. The 1 night/2 day cruise was just amazing! The seascape and little side trips was so well organized by Alex and his crew. We also had very good food on board. The cabin size was adequate but we felt that the bathroom could have done with a little more cleaning. That aspect let the whole experience down somewhat! Xuan was so helpful and patient and was fantastic in guiding me through our booking as I was nervous. We were due to go to Halong Bay just after Hai Yan struck central Vietnam!
Would not hesitate using this company to book again in the future

Used this company for my recent visit to Vietnam. Ms. Giang assisted me from home and all the arrangements were made to my specification through email.
On arrival everything was perfectly arranged: the company was very prompt in their timing, the guides we had were both very good, they were helpful, knowledgeable and well versed in English, and also the transportation provided was clean and comfortable.

I would definitly recommend this company

Amazing service
Reviewed On: Jun 03, 2015Bent FogedGermany

We booked a 7 days tour through Ms. Thanh Xuan. Xuan was so helpful in working on our itinerary, after many emails back and forth we were ready.
All the tours procceded this way. Xuan certainly uses the better tour operaters in every area of Vietnam. We were provided with 24hour phone number if we needed help, for our days we felt we had an angel watching over us in Vietnam. As for the price it was certainly Asia Tour Advisor and value for money and I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to tour Vietnam.
