Halong Bay 2-Day Cruise: Bhaya Caves, Cooking & Overnight CabinYou’ll drift through Halong Bay’s limestone peaks, step into ancient caves like Sung Sot with a local guide, try your hand at Vietnamese cooking on board, and wake up to misty sunrise views from your own cabin. From Tai Chi at dawn to quiet moments on deck after dinner, this tour leaves you with more than photos—it’s a feeling you’ll want to keep.Is it for me?Everything unfolds on the water—caves, kayaking, cooking classes, and meals—so you arrive and simply step aboard without planning logistics.
Street Food Tour Ho Chi Minh City: 10 dishes with pickup includedA walking street food tour in Ho Chi Minh City covering 2.5 km through District 3 and Ho Thi Ky flower market, with 10 dishes, drinks and Saigon beer included; pickup and drop-off at your hotel in Districts 1, 3, or 4 are part of the package. The guide arranges the route around what's open and available that day, so the menu shifts slightly depending on when you go. Dietary restrictions can be noted after booking.Is it for me?You're walking the whole time with a guide who knows which stalls are worth stopping at, so you taste the real thing instead of hunting for it yourself—ideal if you want to eat like a local without spending the afternoon asking for directions or worrying whether a place is actually good.
Halong Bay Day Cruise: Caves, Titop Island & Buffet LunchYou’ll glide past Halong Bay’s limestone towers on a Diamond 5-Star cruise with buffet lunch, kayak through Luon Cave’s lagoon, climb into Surprise Cave’s cool chambers, and soak up sunset from the sundeck before heading back to Hanoi. Expect laughter, local flavors, and moments you’ll replay in your head long after you’re home.
Da Lat: 3 Waterfalls Day Tour with Local Crafts & CoffeeYou’ll walk forest paths to Da Lat’s three famous waterfalls—Datanla, Pongour, and Elephant—guided by locals who know every shortcut and story. Watch silk spun from cocoons by hand, try crunchy cricket snacks if you dare, and sip strong hillside coffee as mist rolls over green valleys. It’s a day full of small surprises that stays with you long after.
Marble Mountains tour: Caves, Lady Buddha, Monkey MountainA small-group morning tour of Marble Mountains, Am Phu Cave and Monkey Mountain in Vietnam with hotel pickup, English-speaking guide, Vietnamese lunch and entrance fees included. The route climbs 146 steps to Xa Loi Tower, then 136 more to the cave system (an elevator is available for the first section at your own cost), and ends at Monkey Mountain to see the country's tallest Lady Buddha statue. The tour runs about five hours and suits travelers with moderate fitness who want cultural and natural sites without arranging transport or entry tickets themselves.Is it for me?Pick the morning tour if you want lunch included; choose the afternoon sunset tour if you prefer to explore the caves and marble formations in late-day light without a meal.
Hanoi Craft Villages Tour: Make Conical Hats & IncenseThis half-day or full-day small-group tour from Hanoi takes you to two or three traditional craft villages where you work alongside local artisans. In Chuong village you craft and paint your own conical hat to take home; in Quang Phu Cau village you watch century-old incense production and receive free incense sticks after making some yourself. The full-day option adds a lacquer village where you paint a piece. Hotel pickup in the Old Quarter is included; a live guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and eight other languages.Is it for me?Book the half-day tour if you have a free morning or afternoon and want to work with artisans without committing a full day. Choose the full-day option if you want to add the lacquer village and sit down for a home-cooked meal—the extra time lets you move at a pace that lets the crafts sink in instead of rushing between stops.
Hanoi: Army Jeep City Tour, Train Street & Egg CoffeeYou’ll ride through Hanoi in a vintage army jeep with a local guide, weaving from grand landmarks to narrow alleys buzzing with daily life. Taste sticky rice at a market stall, watch the train roar past on famous Train Street, then wind down with creamy egg coffee by West Lake. It’s an unfiltered slice of Hanoi you’ll feel long after you leave.
Hoi An Lantern Making Class: Create a Foldable Silk LanternA two-hour lantern-making class in Hoi An where you learn to construct a silk and bamboo lantern in 11 steps, from shaping bamboo stakes to stretching silk and adding a tassel. The class includes herbal tea, instruction in English, and two finished lanterns — the one you make and a second one the master creates for you as a gift. Children from age 4 are welcome.Is it for me?The class is taught entirely in English, so you can follow the instruction and understand the cultural background of the lanterns without a language barrier. Children from age 4 can participate alongside adults, making it a genuine hands-on activity the whole family works through together.
Mekong Delta Cai Be: Cooking Class, Cycling & Craft Villages Day TripYou’ll paddle along Cai Be’s quieter waterways, taste fresh fruit as folk music drifts through the air, and learn to cook classic Vietnamese dishes right in the Mekong Delta countryside. Cycle past rice paddies and meet local families keeping old crafts alive. By sunset you’ll have stories (and maybe sticky fingers) that stay with you.
Ha Long Bay 5-Star Day Cruise: Titop Island, Cave & JacuzziYou get picked up from your Hanoi hotel early morning, driven to Tuan Chau Marina, then spend the day on a cruise exploring Ha Long Bay's limestone karsts, caves, and islands. You'll walk through Surprise Cave, kayak or row through Luon Cave, climb or swim at Titop Island, and end with a sunset party in the Jacuzzi before returning to your hotel by evening. The whole day—from pickup to drop-off—runs about 13 hours.Is it for me?Book this if you want the main Ha Long Bay highlights in one full day without arranging your own transport, entrance tickets, and timing—the fixed schedule and included pickup handle all three, which is what makes a 13-hour day feel manageable rather than chaotic.
Da Lat Countryside Tour: Three Waterfalls & Toboggan RideA shared minivan tour through Da Lat countryside visiting Pongour Waterfall, Elephant Falls and Dalat Waterfall, with stops at a bee farm and coffee plantation. The tour runs eight hours with an English or Vietnamese-speaking guide, hotel pickup, and bottled water included. Lunch is not part of the package, so plan accordingly.Is it for me?Pick English or Vietnamese to match your group, and book this if you want a full day visiting multiple waterfalls with a driver handling navigation—not a quick stop or self-guided exploration.
Ha Long Bay: Luxury Day Cruise, Caves & Titop Island SwimYou’ll find yourself floating past limestone towers on a luxury Ha Long Bay day cruise, picking up micro-moments: cool cave air on your skin, laughter echoing off stone during kayaking at Luon Cave, salt on your lips after swimming at Titop Island. With hotel pickup from Hanoi and lunch included, this trip leaves you quietly changed.
Hanoi Night Food Tour by Motorbike: Women Drivers & Local EatsYou ride a comfortable motorbike through Hanoi's night streets with a trained female driver, stopping at four local food spots to eat Banh Cuon, Bun Cha, grilled seafood, Pho, and Vietnamese egg coffee. Hotel pickup is included, as is all food and drink. The tour lasts around three hours and ends with drop-off back at your hotel.Is it for me?Book this if you want to eat the food Hanoians actually eat at night without figuring out transport, language, or which restaurant is worth your time—the motorbike and the driver take care of all three, and the backrest means you're not exhausted by the time you reach the first stop.
Hai Van Pass motorbike tour: Coastal ride with guideAn 8-hour motorbike tour from Da Nang, Hoi An or Hue along the Hai Van Pass and coastal roads of central Vietnam, with a professional Easy Rider guide, hotel pickup and all entrance tickets included. You choose a round-trip loop or a one-way route to Hue, and can opt to ride your own bike or ride as a passenger. The tour stops at Marble Mountains, Lang Co Beach for lunch, a waterfall swim and a fishing village, with the route built around the pass itself—recognized as one of the world's most beautiful stretches of road.Is it for me?Book the round-trip if you start and end in the same city and want the full Hai Van Pass experience without committing to a one-way journey. Choose a one-way route if you're traveling between Da Nang or Hoi An and Hue and want the motorbike ride to be your transport, not a separate tour—the route and timing work around the destination you're heading to, so the day doesn't feel tacked on to your itinerary.
Cu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta: Small Group Day Trip, BBQ LunchYou’ll crawl through war-era tunnels near Cu Chi with a local guide, then share barbecue lunch before cruising through quiet canals of the Mekong Delta. Taste honey tea and fresh fruit on Thoi Son islet, watch coconut candy being made by hand—and end your day feeling like you’ve really seen both sides of southern Vietnam.
Halong & Lan Ha Bay: 2-Day Aspira Cruise with Balcony SuiteYou’ll wake up to misty views of Halong & Lan Ha Bay from your own balcony suite, kayak into caves with a local guide, learn to roll Vietnamese spring rolls (even if they come out wonky), and join Tai Chi at sunrise on deck. With hotel pickup from Hanoi and all meals included, it’s an easy escape into another world.
Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi: Mua Cave, Tam Coc & Hoa LuYou leave Hanoi early, climb Mua Cave for a panoramic view of the limestone valleys, bike through rice fields and countryside, eat lunch, then boat through the caves at Tam Coc before visiting the temples at Hoa Lu, Vietnam's ancient capital. Pickup from your hotel, all entry fees, lunch and water are included. The group stays under ten people, and you're back in Hanoi by early evening.Is it for me?Choose this if you want to see Ninh Binh's three main attractions — caves, river and temples — in a single day without arranging transport, tickets or timing yourself; the small group size and fixed schedule mean you move through each stop at a pace that lets you actually absorb what you're seeing.
Hoi An Coconut Village & Ancient Town Tour: Release lanterns on the Hoai RiverA full-day tour of Hoi An and Cam Thanh Coconut Village combines hands-on fishing, a bamboo basket boat ride through water coconut trees, guided exploration of UNESCO-listed ancient architecture, and an evening boat ride on the Hoai River where you release a flower lantern. Hotel pickup, local dinner, entrance fees and an English-speaking guide are included; the tour runs about 6.5 hours and welcomes children from age 1.Is it for me?Book the private option if you want the flexibility to set your own pace and ask questions without a larger group; the shared tour works better if you're traveling solo or with one other person and prefer to split the cost with other travelers. Either way, the basket boat and lantern release are the same—the difference is group size and how much time you spend at each stop.
Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise from Hanoi: Kayaking & Cooking ClassYou get picked up from your Hanoi hotel, driven three hours to Bai Tu Long Bay, and spend two days kayaking through karst formations, exploring Thien Canh Son Cave, swimming at Hon Co Island, and learning to cook Vietnamese spring rolls on board. All meals, the guide, and transport back to Hanoi are included; the boat returns you by mid-afternoon on day two.Is it for me?Right for travelers leaving Hanoi who want the Halong Bay experience without the crowds and prefer not to arrange transport, meals, or activities separately—the fixed itinerary and all-inclusive format means you show up at your hotel in the morning and the rest is handled.
Ho Chi Minh City motorbike tour: Half-day guided rideA half-day guided motorbike tour of Ho Chi Minh City pairs main sights—Saigon Cathedral, Central Post Office, Opera House, City Hall—with local neighborhoods, markets and a hidden pagoda. An English-speaking guide leads the ride on the back of a motorbike; pickup from District 1 or District 3 hotels is included, along with a helmet and a snack at Cambodian Market. The tour runs 3 to 4 hours and suits travelers who want the city's mix of architecture and everyday street life without arranging their own transport.Is it for me?Book this if you want to cover both the colonial landmarks and the everyday neighborhoods where locals live and work—the motorbike gets you through the traffic and into the alleys a walking tour can't reach in the same time. Choose the food tasting option if you'd rather spend the ride in markets and street-food stops than at the main sights.
