Does this trip include the train street tour where you can sit and watch the train go besides you? does it include the banana basket ride and spin? are there options to include this?

This package doesn't include both the train street and the basket boat ride in Hoi An. While Hanoi's Train Street was once a popular tourist attraction, it is now unallowed for general public access due to safety concerns. Authorities have blocked off the area and banned all businesses along the tracks, with police patrolling the area to prevent unauthorized entry. However, some coffee shops with specific permission still operate, allowing guests to enter the area. The main reason for the closure is safety. The close proximity of the tracks to houses and businesses led to overcrowding and dangerous situations as tourists flocked to take photos and videos. If you still want to experience Train Street, the best way is to visit a cafe with permission. Avoid jumping barriers or standing on the tracks, and support local businesses. This tour included the North and South region in Vietnam, but basket boat ride in Hoi An is located in central region of Vietnam, so it's not included. If you want to add it, yes I can customize this package to add central region for you but can you expend your trip duration?

Can bookings be modified after the confirmation?

Adjustments can be made to your bookings, but please inform us within 48 hours.

What should I do if I do not have a vaccination card?

A vaccination card is not mandatory; just bring your vaccination documentation.

How do we let you know our flight information for airport pickup?

You can easily submit your flight information via email for us to arrange your pickup.

Are airport pickup services included in the package?

Yes, airport pickup is included, and a private driver will greet you upon arrival.

Can we arrive a day early and stay in Hanoi?

Yes, you can arrange to stay an extra night in Hanoi; just inform us about your requirements.

What kind of transport will be used during the tour?

We provide comfortable transportation throughout the tour in air-conditioned vehicles.

What if the weather impacts planned tours?

If tours are canceled due to weather, we will consider replacement tours or give refunds based on circumstances.

Will there be guides available for excursions?

Yes, all excursions will have experienced local guides who speak English.

What kind of meals are included during the tour?

Meals included will be indicated in your itinerary, usually breakfast and lunch.

As first-time travellers to Vietnam this tour was a great way of seeing different parts of the country. The itinerary was well thought-out, with a good balance between days of travel/activities and free time. The organisers did a fantastic job ensuring everything runs on time and maintained an open line of communication. Special thanks goes out to our travel agent, Long, who was always available via Whatsapp from the moment of booking and dealt rapidly with any query we had. The tour consisted of a great mix between historical sightseeing and fun activities such as kayaking, canoe-riding and cave exploring - there’s something for everyone! We upgraded our hotels to 4* and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and accommodation. Really high standards - especially the Silk Path Hotel in Hanoi. The guides were all friendly, funny and passionate about Vietnam - doing their best to capture the imagination. All buses had AC and were clean. Again, all transfers were organised superbly. We were happy to have visited Vietnam and left with a deep appreciation for the local’s warmth, terrific cuisine and fascinating culture! Thank you.Show more
