Whisk along Vietnam's expressway to Hanoi's ancient Old Quarter for a private, unhurried day of history, street food, and silk — with a dedicated car and expert local guide entirely at your disposal for 10 hours.
What to expect
Your private air-conditioned vehicle collects you at Ha Long International Cruise Port at 8:00 am and whisks you along the coastal expressway to Hanoi in under 2.5 hours. Spend the morning weaving through the 36 Streets of the Old Quarter — silk merchants, lacquerware, hand-hammered silverwork — then take a cyclo ride past the colonial French Quarter and pause at the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first university founded in 1070. A private lunch at a heritage restaurant precedes an afternoon at Hoan Kiem Lake and Ngoc Son Temple before your return transfer.
Good to know
Pick-up at 8:00 am sharp from the cruise port. The round-trip including Hanoi time runs ~10 hrs — verify your all-aboard time carefully. Private vehicle means flexible pacing. Guide provides all entrance tickets. Bring VND cash for market shopping.
