    Tour Details
    • Up Travel VietnamOperatorWritten May 2025

      Domestic flight ticket from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi is excluded in this package. You can book this ticket on your own. After you book our tour package, I will advise the suitable timing detail for this domestic flight accordingly for you.

    • Up Travel VietnamOperatorWritten May 2025

      The domestic flight will be from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh. In the morning, you will take a Hanoi half day mornign city tour so the suitable timing for the domestic flight from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh must be at 5pm onwards. The morning tour will finish at around 1:30pm. For domestic flight, you need to be at the airport 2 hours in advance, so the timing at 5pm onwards is the most suitable.
