12-day Vietnam Luxury Honeymoon

Upon arrival at Noi Bai International Airport, your private guide and chauffeur will be there to greet you quietly, warmly, and with everything already taken care of.  Along the way, you’ll catch your first glimpses of Hanoi’s layered charm: soft colonial facades, narrow streets full of everyday life, and the gentle rhythm of motorbikes flowing past shaded tea houses. There’s no rush today, just time to settle in, breathe, and let the city ease you into this shared journey.

Recommended time: 13:00 -17:00
You begin in Hanoi’s quieter backstreets, riding side by side on a vintage motorbike through narrow lanes, local markets, and everyday scenes rarely seen by visitors. It’s an unfiltered look at the city lively, imperfect, and deeply human where daily life happens right in front of you.

From there, the ride opens onto wider boulevards and leafy avenues. You pass through the Old Quarter and the French Quarter, moving between centuries as ancient temples, colonial buildings, and modern landmarks appear along the way. Highlights include West Lake, Tran Quoc Pagoda, Long Bien Bridge, and a pause at Hanoi’s famous Train Street, where you sip Vietnamese coffee as the train glides past just moments away.

The journey ends at a hidden local café, where you slow down and share some of Hanoi’s most loved flavors from fresh spring rolls and Bánh Mì to egg coffee and a taste of local beer. Simple, authentic, and best enjoyed together.

Leaving Hanoi, you travel by private vehicle toward Ninh Binh, watching the city fade into open countryside. Rice fields, vegetable gardens, and quiet village roads stretch across the Red River Delta, setting an easy rhythm for the day.

In Van Long, you’re welcomed into a local three-generation family home. Over tea, you share a simple conversation and learn about daily village life: an unpolished, genuine moment that feels quietly personal. You then explore the area at a slow pace, by bicycle or on foot, following village paths through rice fields, rivers, and limestone hills. The landscape unfolds gently, inviting you to slow down and enjoy the journey together.

A visit to Thung La Temple and a short drum performance by the temple guardian offer a glimpse into local traditions. In the afternoon, a peaceful sampan boat ride through Van Long Nature Reserve lets you take in the calm beauty of the wetlands and surrounding cliffs. The day ends at a local home, where you try a few simple embroidery stitches, a relaxed and hands-on way to connect with village life before returning to your hotel.
