Day 1: HANOI STOPOVER TOURS: ARRIVAL – HANOI PACKAGE TOURS (-/-/-)
Upon arrival in Noi Bai Airport, you’ll receive cordial welcome and comfortable transfer to hotel. If time permits, enjoy a tour by cyclo around the old quarter streets, an interesting introduction of the city. Stop at a sidewalk and take a seat like the locals do, and ask for an iced lemon tea and some roasted sunflower seeds, or slowly sip a cup of hot jasmine or lotus tea while people are rushing around on their motorbikes. Like other big cities, Hanoi is hustling and bustling, with thousands of people riding motorbikes, the most convenient means of transportation in the city.

Day 2: HANOI STOPOVER TOURS: HANOI FULL DAY OF SIGHTSEEING TOURS (B/-/-)
Today you’ll be on a full day tour to discover the most outstanding attractions of Hanoi. First, pay a visit to Cho Hom, the local market, to get caught up in the lively atmosphere. This is where the city dwellers come daily to purchase the local food, fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, seafood, meat, and household appliances.
Then, continue to the complex of memorials to Ho Chi Minh to know his amazing life. Next is the One Pillar Pagoda and the Temple of Literature to gain understanding of the two driving forces in Vietnam culture. Afternoon we visit the Museum of Ethnology which exhibits a large collection of artifacts about the cultures of the 54 ethnic groups in the country. Alternatively, you can swap to visit the historical museum instead, an excellent collection of artifacts illustrating the Vietnamese history.
Hustle back to the peaceful Hoan Kiem area since there is a water puppet show at the popular Thang Long Water Puppet Theater awaits. Water puppet is a unique traditional art form and expression of cultural identity. The shows capture Vietnamese traditions; farming, tending buffaloes, and catching fish; entertainment, like swimming contests and lion dancing; and historical legends with traditional music. The one-hour show is a fun and insightful look into Vietnamese culture enjoyed by both adults and children.
