Vietnam’s Sights & Sounds

Hanoi – Halong – Hue – Danang – Hoi An – Saigon

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has traditionally shown two faces to its visitors. The chaotic yet organized bustle of everyday life and a more bubbly, exciting side that is revealed only to those who venture out after nightfall. Delve deep into Hanoian nights with a privately-guided tour once the sun has set. Taste the local street foods traditionally served on miniature plastic chairs, crouch with locals to listen to the songs so beloved by the Karaoke crowds and smell the scents of a city that never sleeps.
