I am confident you will be impressed by the culture and unique style of a super exciting country. This is a perfect introduction of Hanoi for the first-time visitor.
It is the best to book a half-day city tour
The city tour come with many shapes and forms. You can choose either walking tour, motorbike tour, double-decked tour, etc. You can also choose between a foodie tour, culture tour or sightseeing tour. One tip for you: you can even create your own favorite tour. Everything is possible in Vietnam.
This activity is available in both Ho Chi Minh city and Ha Noi, if you have chance to visit both, I would like to recommend you to try both city tours to experience the modern life of Ho Chi Minh city and the traditional style of Ha Noi.
Visit Ha Long Bay
Ha Long Bay is the world’s natural wonder. If you decided to go to Vietnam a few days before the MSI takes place, you can spend one day or two to visit one of the most stunning bays in the world. Ha Long Bay cruises also have many types for you to choose from. If you have only 1 day, you can still visit many day cruises. 2-day and 3-day cruises are even better because you will have more time to visit more destinations of the bay, enjoy fresh seafood, and spend the night relaxing on the cruise ship.
