Hanoi City Tour - Night train to Sapa

Hotel: 3 Star Hotel or similar

Start your full-day private tour of Hanoi with early pickup from your hotel. Then hop in a cyclo to the undisputed heart of the city with your friendly and informative guide. Observe people practicing tai chi, playing badminton and doing other popular activities as you receive an overview of daily life of local people.

Weave through Hanoi's Old Quarter in the historical center of the capital, known for its 36 old streets and artisan guilds that date back to the 13th century. Visit St Joseph's Cathedral (Nha Tho Lon), whose structure has changed little since it was built in 1886.

Enjoy a relaxing conversation with the locals over a cup of delicious coffee-a great way to immerse in the culture of Hanoi. Continue sightseeing in the comfort of an air-conditioned, private vehicle with a visit to Ba Dinh Square, where your guide points out significant buildings such as the President's Palace and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Learn about President Ho Chi Minh's life and his career at the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and discover the role of Buddhism in Hanoi at the historical One Pillar Pagoda.

Before a traditional Vietnamese lunch at a local restaurant, gain an appreciation for Vietnamese architecture at the Temple of Literature and view Long Bien Bridge. In the afternoon, discover the many customs of more than 50 ethnic minorities in Vietnam at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology. Then enjoy the beautiful environs of Hoan Kiem Lake (Sword Lake), stopping by Ngoc Son Temple (Temple of the Jade Mountain), situated on a small islet in the lake.

Finally, your guide accompanies you to see a water puppet show. This delightful stage performance delves into Vietnam's mythology and traditions for a little over an hour before you're taken back to your hotel.

You have time to take a bath and relax while waiting for the Lao Cai train. When you are done preparing your luggage, our driver picks you up at your hotel and transports you to the city's railway station. Board a train to Lao Cai station for an overnight excursion in a communal sleeping cabin (sharing with other passengers in 2 lower & 2 upper berths per compartment). The train would start around 22:00 and you can have an unforgettable experience of sleeping overnight on a local train.
