Lan Ha Bay Cruise: Kayaking, Viet Hai Village & Cooking ClassYou’ll drift through Lan Ha Bay’s emerald waters by traditional boat, kayak beneath limestone cliffs, bike through quiet Viet Hai village, and join a cooking class for Vietnamese spring rolls. With small group vibes and pickup from Hanoi included, you’ll have time for swimming, local meals onboard, and maybe even a bit of karaoke under the stars if you’re feeling brave.
Hoi An: Basket Boat & Lantern Release with Flower ClassYou ride a bamboo basket boat through a coconut forest, try casting nets and watching local fishermen spin their boats, eat two famous Hoi An dishes, make your own flower lantern by hand, and release it onto the Hoai River at dusk while hundreds of others float past. The tour includes your guide, all materials, and transport from your hotel, leaving the evening free to explore the lantern-lit Ancient Town on your own.Is it for me?A good fit if you want to experience Hoi An's most iconic evening ritual without arranging boats, food, or timing yourself—the fixed itinerary handles the logistics, which is what leaves you free to linger in the Ancient Town afterward if you want to.
Hoi An Scooter Tour: Learn Traditional Crafts in Rural VillagesA small-group countryside experience near Hoi An where you travel by scooter or car into working villages, meet artisan families in their homes and workshops, and learn three traditional crafts hands-on: weaving mats, making rice paper, and preparing Quang noodles. The group stays under six people, a local English-speaking guide leads, and the pace is slow enough to hear stories and ask questions. Children from age 10 are welcome.Is it for me?Choose the scooter to ride between villages and feel the rhythm of rural life firsthand; choose the car if you prefer to arrive fresh and focus your energy on the hands-on activities with families.
Hue to Hoi An: Marble Mountains, Hai Van Pass & Bridge Bus TourYou’ll travel from Hue to Hoi An by bus with a local guide, stopping at Marble Mountains, Thanh Toan Bridge, Lap An Lagoon and Hai Van Pass along the way. Expect moments of quiet beauty, small snacks included, and stories from your guide that bring each place alive. This isn’t just a transfer — it’s a day full of glimpses into central Vietnam.
Dong Hoi: Paradise & Dark Cave Zipline Full-Day TourYou ride an electric tram into Paradise Cave, walk past formations lit by soft LED light, eat lunch with local specialties, then zipline across a river into Dark Cave where you explore by headlamp and soak in a natural mud bath. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Dong Hoi are included, and the whole day takes about 9.5 hours from start to finish.Is it for me?Pick this if you want both the geological wonder of a dry cave and the adventure rush of an active one, all in a single day without arranging transport, tickets, or timing yourself—the fixed schedule fits both into one morning and afternoon.
Hanoi Cooking Class: Cook 2–5 Vietnamese Dishes in a Garden VillaA hands-on cooking class in Hanoi where you select and prepare 2 signature Vietnamese dishes in a join-in session, or 5 dishes if you book private. The class takes place in a hidden garden villa with air-conditioned comfort, includes all ingredients and tools, and ends with a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony where a cultural storyteller explains the meaning behind each dish and tea. Every booking supports community programs: monthly charity meals for cancer patients, educational initiatives for disadvantaged children, and employment for ethnic minority women.Is it for me?Book the join-in session if you want to cook alongside other travelers and keep the cost lower; choose private if your group wants to prepare more dishes, get personalized attention, and have the transfer arranged. Both options support the same community programs and include the full meal and tea ceremony.
Private Mekong Delta Floating Market Tour from Ho Chi Minh CityA private 10-hour tour from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta, departing early to reach Cai Rang Floating Market before crowds, then moving to smaller canals and village workshops inaccessible to larger boats. An English-speaking guide leads the day; hotel pickup, lunch, entrance fees, and boat transport are included. The private format means flexible pacing and no shared itinerary.Is it for me?Because this is a private tour, you move at your own pace and skip the crowded group departures—the early start and smaller boats mean you see the floating market while traders are actively working and reach the village canals that larger tours cannot access. Choose this if you want flexibility and access to the quieter corners of the delta.
Ho Chi Minh: Cholon & Binh Tay Market Private Walking TourYou’ll walk through Quân 6’s winding alleys with a local guide, sample snacks at Binh Tay Market, pause inside Thien Hau Temple’s smoky calm, and hear real stories from someone who grew up here. If you want Ho Chi Minh beyond the big sights, this private tour is where you’ll feel it most.
4-Day Ha Giang Jeep Tour: Ma Pi Leng Pass & Nho Que RiverA 4-day open-air jeep tour of Ha Giang in Northern Vietnam with an English-speaking driver, visiting Ma Pi Leng Pass, Nho Que River, ethnic minority villages and the Lung Cu Flag Pole at the Vietnam-China border. The tour includes all meals, three nights in traditional homestays or bungalows in private rooms, entrance fees to sites, and pickup in Ha Giang city or at your hotel. You ride the back of a vintage army jeep instead of a motorbike, which means comfort and a wider view without the fatigue.Is it for me?The English-speaking guide means you understand the history and culture of each village and the border area without needing to translate or guess — useful if you want context for what you are seeing, not just the views themselves. Children from age one are welcome, and the jeep is suitable for all fitness levels, so families and mixed-ability groups can travel together without splitting up.
Ha Long Bay: Emeraude Cruise 2-Day Tour with Cave & IslandYou’ll float through Ha Long Bay’s limestone maze on an overnight cruise—swim or hike Ti Top Island, taste local food on deck at sunset, kayak near floating villages, and wander through Sung Sot Cave’s echoing halls. With all meals included and a local guide leading the way, it’s a trip that lingers long after you’re back on shore.
Saigon Airport to Ho Chi Minh City: Private Transfer & Hotel PickupYou get picked up at the airport exit with a name board, driven privately to your Ho Chi Minh City hotel in 30–40 minutes, and skip the taxi queue entirely. The driver tracks your flight, waits if you're delayed, and the price is fixed before you land. Fuel and parking are included.Is it for me?Book this if you're arriving at Saigon Airport and want to reach your Ho Chi Minh City hotel without arranging a taxi or negotiating a fare — the fixed price and private car mean you skip the curb entirely and arrive on a schedule you've already agreed to.
Halong Bay: Day Cruise, Thien Cung Cave & Kayak with LunchYou’ll float through Halong Bay’s limestone islands by Dragonfly Cruise, paddle a kayak or relax on a bamboo boat, wander beneath wild formations in Thien Cung Cave with your guide’s stories echoing around you, and share a fresh seafood lunch (vegetarian options too). Expect small surprises—a sudden silence on the water or a joke lost in translation—that’ll stick with you long after you’re back in Hanoi.
Da Lat Waterfalls Tour: Datanla, Pongour & Elephant FallsA seven to eight hour tour of Da Lat and its countryside visits Datanla Falls, Pongour Falls and Elephant Falls, plus a lake surrounded by pine forest, a cricket farm, a bee farm, Buddhist temples and a coffee plantation. The guide speaks English, pickup is included, and the tour carries bottled water and air-conditioned transport. Lunch is not included; children from age one are welcome.Is it for me?Book this if you want a shared tour that combines Da Lat's three main waterfalls with local food tastings—the guide drives the route and handles all entry tickets, so you skip the logistics of visiting spread-out countryside sites.
Private Sapa Tour: Car, Villages & Waterfalls Full DayYou spend a full day in a private car moving between Sapa's ethnic villages, two waterfalls, and mountain passes, with your guide explaining the culture and history at each stop. Walking is built in—about an hour at Cat Cat Village, another hour if you add Love Waterfall—but the car handles all the distances between sites. Lunch and water are included, and the route is flexible enough to skip the glass bridge or market if you'd rather spend more time elsewhere.Is it for me?Right for travelers with a day in Sapa who want to see the main villages, waterfalls, and views without arranging separate transport or guides. Plan for real walking at two stops—that's what lets you get into the villages and forest instead of just viewing them from the car.
Cu Chi Tunnels: Private Half Day Tour with PickupYou’ll crawl through the historic Cu Chi tunnels outside Ho Chi Minh City, hear personal stories from a local guide, taste traditional tapioca with tea, and see hidden trapdoors up close. Expect some sweat, a few laughs—and maybe a new way of seeing Vietnam’s past.
Hoi An Food Tour: 12 Tastings Across Back Streets & MarketsA 3-hour food tour of Hoi An led by an English-speaking guide, stopping at 12+ local eateries across back streets and markets where residents actually eat. You taste dumplings from a 130-year-old family recipe, savory cakes at a school-hour market stall, and the spot Anthony Bourdain visited—places you won't find on social media or stumble into alone. Bottled water and all tastings are included; choose between a walking route or a motorbike version at checkout.Is it for me?Book the walking version if you want to move slowly through the neighborhoods and absorb the back streets; choose the motorbike tour if you prefer to cover the same stops faster and spend more time eating than walking. Either way, you're eating what residents eat, not what the main tourist drag serves.
Hanoi Old Quarter: Street Food Tasting Tour & Family EateriesYou’ll wander Hanoi’s Old Quarter with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Taste generations-old recipes at family-run eateries, sip strong egg coffee, and learn why locals eat with their hands or share tables with strangers. Every stop feels personal — you’ll leave full but also kind of wishing you could stay for dinner again tomorrow.
Cu Chi Tunnels: Speedboat Day Trip & Early Access from SaigonYou’ll cruise up the Saigon River by speedboat at sunrise, reaching Cu Chi Tunnels before the crowds for a more personal look at Vietnam’s wartime past. With a local guide sharing real stories, you’ll crawl inside tunnels (if you want), taste cassava and tea, and return to Saigon by mid-afternoon—leaving plenty of time for reflection or just watching river life drift by.
Hanoi Bicycle Tour: City & Countryside with Train StreetA half-day bicycle tour of Hanoi combining Old Quarter backstreets, Red River Island farmland and the Reunification Train Street, with a live English-speaking guide, mountain bike and all entrance fees included. You ride through local markets, stop at working farms to meet residents, visit the Long Bien Bridge built in 1902, and finish with lunch and egg coffee at a local restaurant before returning to your hotel.Is it for me?The pace is steady cycling on flat terrain through backstreets and quiet paths rather than main roads, so it suits riders of any fitness level who want to see how Hanoi actually works without a strenuous ride. If you want to sit in a vehicle and be driven past landmarks, this is not the tour for you; if you want to move through the city at the speed of a bicycle and stop to talk with people, this one does that.
Da Nang: Ba Na Hills & Golden Bridge Full-Day TourYou get picked up from your Da Nang hotel and driven to Ba Na Hills, where you ride two cable cars to the summit and spend the morning at the Golden Bridge, flower gardens, and pagoda. Afternoon is free to explore Eclipse Square, the French Village, or other attractions at your own pace. Lunch is optional. The van returns you to your hotel by late afternoon, and you choose your start time — 7:30 AM or 9:30 AM — the day before.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see Ba Na Hills without arranging your own transport or worrying about cable car queues — the small group and fixed schedule mean you hit the main sights in one morning and have the afternoon free to explore at your own pace.
