Hanoi
Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long Bay
North Vietnam Heritage Circuit is a 7-day, 6-night private program for travel professionals with high-end clients: Hanoi's heritage quarter, Sapa's highland villages and an overnight Ha Long Bay cruise.
Paced for slow travel. One unhurried outing a day, usually in the cooler morning, then back at the hotel by early afternoon for the pool, spa or afternoon tea. Late starts, private car and guide throughout, and time built in for coffee and conversation.
Best for: culture-led clients who want Hanoi, the Sapa highlands and Ha Long in one week, with sleeper-train nights. Also works as a north extension to the 10- or 14-day programs.
- Stays: two private sleeper-train cabins, Hôtel de la Coupole – MGallery in Sapa (MICHELIN Key 2026), Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi or Capella Hanoi, and a suite on a Paradise cruise in Ha Long Bay.
- Signature element: a half-day Red Dao herbal wellness session in Sapa, hosted by local healers.
- Market options: the Fansipan cable car is often requested by Asian groups; European clients usually prefer the Muong Hoa valley walk. We build the version your market expects.
Meet and greet at Noi Bai International Airport and private transfer to a boutique hotel for day-use to shower and rest.
