Do you have any information about obtaining a temporary driving license in Vietnam? When I travel, I like to have the freedom to move around the country independently, renting a car. The Spanish international driving permit isn't valid in Vietnam, but I understand that it's possible to obtain a temporary license. It's difficult to find information about the procedures and where I need to go.

In Vietnam, our company unfortunately does not support this service, and the traffic conditions here are vastly different from those in your country. For safety reasons, we do not encourage or recommend renting a self-drive car in Vietnam. Regarding temporary driving permits, the process is complicated, varies by province, and is not straightforward for short-term visitors. Most travelers choose to use private cars with drivers or other safe transportation options instead. For your best convenience, we're happy to help arrange comfortable, reliable transport for your trip.

Will the airport transfer be included for dropping back also after we reach Hanoi ? If I take 4 star upgrade the pandora cruise is it subjected to change or remain same?

This tour does not include the airport transfer after the tour ends. If you want I can add it for only 15 usd extra cost. About La Pandora cruise, if you book 4* option, it will be the first choice, if it is fully booked, we will switch to the same or better quality cruise. We will confirm your exact cruise few hours after confirming your booking.

How can I find out the name of our accommodation in Hanoi, I want to know if it is in the old quarter and how much to book an additional night?

Do you now have everything you need for both myself and Joan Bliss pertaining to our Vietnam Visa?

- Wonderscape TravelOperator•Written September 2025

Should you wish to check in early, an additional charge depends on the check-in time will apply.
