All Hanoi Tours & Excursions in 2026

We selected the Hanoi: Lux + Buffet + Jacuzzi option. We were picked up at a designated location (pick up at accommodation was available too but only from within the Old Quarter). We had a few stops on the bus trip to Ha Long Bay. One was at a pearl exhibition and shop. We got to learn about how pearls are farmed and had the opportunity to buy pearls, clothes and souvenirs. The cruise staff were very friendly and helpful. The cruise boat was clean and food buffet delicious. Souvenirs and pearls were available for purchase on the cruise. I did the speedboat and kayaking. Both were great! There was enough time to enjoy ourselves. We explored a cave and later an island with the option to hike or swim. Mike was a great guide. He explained everything to us very well and was helpful and kind. I thoroughly enjoyed this activity. It was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam! Highly recommend

Jimmy was very knowledgeable about Vietnam, friendly and so accommodating to our group! We really enjoyed the entire tour, from hotel pick up in comfortable van, to visits to the temples, lotus garden, lunch, boat ride & bike ride! We loved it and we appreciated his efforts and positive energy.

A Good Experience, but Food Options Need Improvement Overall, it was a good and enjoyable tour. However, more attention should be given to the quality and variety of food provided. Offering a wider selection of meals to suit different tastes and dietary preferences would significantly improve the experience. With better food options, this tour could be even more enjoyable for everyone.

I couldn't find a satisfying private tour in Korean, but it was so good. It was easy to coordinate the schedule with a 3-year-old, and the mixed crab was satisfying. It's a shame we couldn't do the bike and e-bike tour because it suddenly started raining, but instead, we could have a relaxed lunch at a restaurant where the child could eat well. Thank you for accompanying me on my first overseas trip with my family. Dinh Hieu!

Hanoi's Old Quarter has restrictions on where buses can go so the guide picked us up from the hotel and guided us through a short 2mins walk to where the bus was waiting. The guide provided a lot of info on the way to the bay. There was a stop at the perl farm, very educational. It's up to you if you wanted to buy any pearls, there was no pressure whatsoever. Once we boarded the catamaran, it was a very good mix of activities and relaxation with amazing food. You can either stay in an airconditioned room or go outside upstairs for better views, drinks and jacuzzi. The included lunch was a six course set menu, quite yummy and filling. Plenty of drinks options (both alcoholic and not) are available for purchase. Activities included a short 30mins boat ride through a cave (or if you are brave and don't mind rowing in 35C heat - two-seat kayak instead of a boat), swimming at the back of the catamaran and a class of making rice paper rolls (with an impressive demo of chef's skills to cut various shapes our of vegetables!). No pressure to participate in either and if you want to just relax - you could just stay in the room the whole time and enjoy the views.

The stay was wonderful. The bay is spectacular and from the room we had incredible views. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail and the accommodation was truly luxurious. The activities were very fun and an excellent way to get into and enjoy the bay. Without a doubt, an unforgettable experience that we totally recommend.

If you participate in everything (including sunrise), the outing is very scheduled. I recommend going to bed by 10 PM at the latest or not planning anything further after the experience. The food was great... We were more than satisfied and could request a second helping if needed, which we only wished for once for taste reasons. Next to us was an Indian family that had rejected almost the entire planned menu and fulfilled almost all extra requests as long as it was within their power. We went along with the menu, even though we are not fans of seafood. There were 25 staff members on board with 18 guests 😅. The rooms were great, especially the water pressure in the shower was better than expected 😊. The only downside was the mattress; the innerspring was a bit too hard for our liking, but that is always subjective. Regarding the experiences, I can say that they were nice but typical tourist attractions. There were 22 other boats anchored near us in the sea. It was crowded but manageable ... The tour guide showed us photos where people wandered through the cave like sardines in a can. Since we were out with the canoes relatively early, we could still paddle well and see the monkeys 😃. After us, it got busier in the cavern.

Our guide Tom and the driver really looked after us all day, we were collected from our cruise ship on time , in an air conditioned comfortable car. We saw so many different interesting attractions during our day, Tom was very knowledgeable about them all. One stop was for an Egg Coffee, really creamy, a must do! The included lunch was lovely, the restaurant and staff really nice. The mad traffic is an experience like no other, both fab and mad, our driver did a great job. Thank you Tom we had a really great day spending just the right amount of time at each attraction.
