What transportation options are best for my day trip?

Traveling by bus may require one or more transfers before you reach your final destination.• Hanoi day trips by car

What people are saying about Hanoi
The day out was great. Our guide was funny, kind and informative. He answered our questions and shared interesting stories. The bike ride was nice and the boat ride was peaceful- cool in January so if you feel the cold take an extra layer. The lunch was filling but simple- probably a good idea to take some snacks with you during the day. The hike was a good end to the long drive day- challenging enough without being hard and great views.
Great tour. The guide was well informed and friendly, the tour wasn’t as long as indicated which was perfect for us. It’s an easy day trip and you can still see and do everything you want. Lunch was excellent.
It is a very fulfilling tour. However, please be careful as the rower woman of the boat tour attacks the tip and the man who sells the photos taken without permission is persistent.
Absolutely amazing experience and the guide and driver were so sweet, patient and helpful. I've visited 30 countries and have been on countless tours, this tour was special.
Great trip with beautiful views. Great Hop Guide (if I spelled it right) in English Gary. Very friendly, nice guy with great knowledge about Vietnam!
