Itinerary
Day 1
Begin Your Luxury Vietnam Holiday!
Close
Upon your arrival in Hanoi, your private driver will meet you at the airport. After check-in, enjoy a scenic cyclo ride around the Old Quarter of Hanoi - which still retains a small-town provincial charm with its quaint, meandering streets. The evening brings a visit to a traditional water puppet show which stems from a time when the rice paddies were flooded and locals would stand waist deep and perform puppet shows to keep themselves entertained.
