Halong Bay: Cave Island Kayak Swim Day Trip with Buffet LunchYou’ll float through Halong Bay’s limestone towers by boat, explore Sung Sot Cave’s cool chambers, paddle your own kayak or ride a bamboo boat near Luon Cave, then swim or climb to panoramic views on Titop Island.

Ho Chi Minh City: Walking Tour with Local Sights & Café StopsYou’ll wander Ho Chi Minh City’s colonial quarters and busy streets with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Sip strong coffee in a tucked-away café apartment, hear about French architecture at Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office, and feel Saigon’s energy up close. You might end up thinking about it long after your feet recover.
Tam Coc Day Tour from Hanoi: Limestone Caves & Rice FieldsA private day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh Province takes you 100 km south to explore Hoa Lu's ancient temples, Tam Coc's river caves and the countryside on bicycle. Your guide speaks English, your driver picks you up from your hotel, and lunch is Vietnamese home cooking. You choose one of three routes: Hoa Lu with Tam Coc and cycling, Hoa Lu with Tam Coc and Mua Cave, or Bai Dinh Pagoda with Trang An and Mua Cave. The day runs 5 to 12 hours depending on which stops you pick.Is it for me?Choose the Hoa Lu and Tam Coc route if you want a mix of history, boat scenery and countryside cycling without the steep climb; pick the Mua Cave option if you're comfortable with a 500-stair ascent and want a panoramic view of the whole province; go with Bai Dinh Pagoda or Trang An if temples and cave exploration matter more than cycling.
Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta: Day Trip with Boat & LunchYou’ll crawl through the historic Cu Chi Tunnels with a local guide, then drift along Mekong Delta canals by boat and rowboat. Taste honey tea in a riverside village, watch coconut candy being made, enjoy lunch with locals—and catch glimpses of daily life that linger long after you leave.

The tour ends with a transfer back to Ho Chi Minh City or an optional fast boat to Phnom Penh.Is it for me?Book this if you're based in Ho Chi Minh City without your own transport—the tour includes hotel pickup and covers three provinces, or you can extend to Phnom Penh on the final day if you're heading into Cambodia.
Hanoi Old Quarter: Egg Coffee Class & Balcony TastingYou’ll crack eggs and whisk them into frothy magic right in the heart of Hanoi’s Old Quarter. Learn three different styles of Vietnamese coffee with a local teacher, taste your creations on a balcony above the city buzz, and leave with a small gift plus new skills for home brewing. There’s something quietly special about that first creamy sip.
Hue to Hoi An by car: Hai Van Pass & Marble MountainA private car transfer from Hue to Hoi An follows the most scenic coastal route in Central Vietnam, stopping at Lap An Lagoon, the Hai Van Pass and Marble Mountain before dropping you at your hotel. The journey takes 5 to 8 hours depending on stops and traffic. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a basic English-speaking driver; pickup is included in Hue city centre. Entrance fees, lunch and a professional tour guide are not part of the package, so you explore each stop at your own pace or arrange a local guide on arrival.Is it for me?Book the sedan for a couple or small group; choose the SUV or van if you are travelling with more people or extra luggage. The optional stops—An Bang Cemetery or Bana Hills—suit travellers who want to break up the drive or have time for a cable-car experience, but the core route works just as well without them.
Da Nang: Evening Walking Food Tour with Local Eats & DrinksYou’ll wander Da Nang’s backstreets at sunset with a local guide, tasting everything from crispy rice cracker pizza to smoky BBQ skewers and homemade noodle soup.

Taste local dishes (yes, goat meat!) at lunch, then float quietly through Trang An’s cave-filled waterways with a guide who knows every story.

Hanoi: Private Street Food Tour with 10 Tastings & Egg CoffeeYou’ll weave through Hanoi’s Old Quarter with a local guide, tasting everything from crispy shrimp pancakes to sweet coconut fruit desserts. Alongside each bite comes a story — temples shrouded in incense, French villas echoing old laughter, egg coffee served upstairs where locals linger. Expect warmth, surprises, and maybe sauce on your shirt.
Hoi An: Marble Mountains & Linh Ung Pagoda Day TripYou climb carved stone steps through Marble Mountains to explore caves and pagodas, watch sculptors at work in a 300-year-old village, eat lunch with a local family, walk through Am Phu cave to learn Buddhist philosophy, then visit Linh Ung Pagoda to see Vietnam's tallest Buddha statue and spot monkeys in the trees. Hotel pickup, all entry tickets, and an English-speaking guide are included, and the full day takes you from morning to late afternoon.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see the main sights around Da Nang and Hoi An without arranging transport, tickets, or timing yourself—the fixed itinerary and included lunch with locals handle all of that, leaving you to focus on the caves, the statues, and the views.
Hue to Hoi An: Hai Van Pass & Marble Mountains DriveYou're driven from Hue to Hoi An in a private air-conditioned car with an English-speaking driver who stops at Hai Van Pass, Marble Mountains, Lang Co Bay, and Lap An Lagoon. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, along with bottled water and WiFi. The route takes 6–7 hours and lets you choose which stops matter to you and how long to spend at each one.Is it for me?This works if you're moving between Hue and Hoi An anyway and want to see the landscape in between without renting a car or arranging multiple rides—the driver handles the route and timing, so you just watch the road unfold.
Hanoi: Vintage Jeep City Tour, Train Street & Food TastingYou’ll ride through Hanoi by open-air Jeep with a local guide who knows every shortcut. Expect alleyway buzz, countryside calm on Banana Island, safe views of Train Street life, plus stops for egg coffee and bún chả—smoky, sweet and real. This is for anyone who wants to feel Hanoi as more than just another stop.
Coffee roasting workshop Da Lat: Roast and brew your ownA coffee roasting and brewing workshop at Twin Beans Farm, an Arabica plantation 20km from Da Lat, where you learn the full coffee-making process and roast and taste your own batch. The farm sits on working land with an on-site roastery and coffee shop; a live guide in English or Vietnamese walks you through each step. Transport from Da Lat is available as an add-on option; the workshop alone runs about 75 minutes.Is it for me?Book the workshop alone if you have your own transport or are staying near the farm; add the transfer option if you're based in Da Lat and want pickup and drop-off included with the class.
Hanoi: Walking Tour, Train Street & Egg Coffee TastingYou’ll walk Hanoi’s tangled streets with a local guide who actually knows shortcuts and stories behind every corner. Sip egg coffee in a tiny café, squeeze onto Train Street as the train rumbles by (if you’re lucky), taste snacks at Thanh Ha Market, and end up feeling oddly at home among strangers.
Hue: Dragon Boat, Pagodas & Royal Tombs Private TourYou’ll float down Hue’s Perfume River by dragon boat, step inside Thien Mu Pagoda with its quiet monks and storied past, and wander through royal tombs scattered across lush countryside.

Mekong Delta & Cu Chi Tunnels: Small Group Day TripYou’ll crawl through Cu Chi’s historic tunnels, cruise quiet Mekong canals by boat, taste honey tea in a village garden, and share laughter over fresh coconut candy—all with pickup, lunch, and a local guide who knows every shortcut between city bustle and riverside calm.
My Son UNESCO Site & Fresh Rice Noodle Making Class from Hoi AnA full-morning class combining a guided walk through My Son Sanctuary—a UNESCO World Heritage Site of ancient Cham brick temples—with a hands-on lesson in making fresh rice noodles at a family home, plus a traditional Cham dance performance and a 30-minute boat trip on the Thu Bon River. Pickup from Hoi An or Da Nang hotels is included; the tour runs 6 hours and ends with lunch featuring your handmade phở.Is it for me?Book this if you want to move beyond watching—making the noodles yourself, tasting them fresh, and understanding how phở actually comes together is what separates this from a standard temple tour. The early start and fixed schedule mean you see My Son before the crowds arrive, and everything—transport, the guide, the meal, the boat—is arranged so the morning holds together without you organizing pieces of it.
Dalat: Canyoning Day Trip with Rappelling & WaterfallsYou’ll feel your heart race as you rappel waterfalls near Dalat with expert guides cheering you on. Swim beneath cascades, try ziplining across cool pools, share lunch by the riverbank—and maybe even conquer “The Washing Machine” if you dare. It’s not just about canyoning; it’s about those raw moments when courage surprises you.
Phong Nha: Paradise Cave & Dark Cave Day Trip with ZiplineYou’ll walk beneath ancient stalactites in Paradise Cave, zipline over rivers (or kayak if you prefer), eat Vietnamese lunch by Dark Cave, then wade into real mud baths deep inside limestone tunnels. Expect laughter, cool air on your skin, and memories that stick around long after your shoes dry out.
