WELCOME TO HANOI
Duration: 3 hours
This afternoon we'll head out to explore the hotel's neighborhood area and step into vintage Hanoi with a little historical overview, a traditional Vietnamese coffee, and a glimpse of Hanoians at work, rest, and play around the city's largest natural landmark. There is no better place to get oriented.
DAY 2: HANOI
HANOI INSIDE OUT & LACQUER ART WITH LOCAL EXPERT
Duration: 6 hours
Hanoi has been the Vietnamese capital since 1010 A.D so there are an endless amount of stories to be regaled from within the city's bustling alleyways and diverse quarters. Today, we'll turn Hanoi inside out as we immerse ourselves in these stories. The must-sees of the Old Quarter are best explored in a cyclo: a bicycle-powered rickshaw driven from behind by a native Hanoian! Drift elegantly through the busy inner streets, taking in the hustle and bustle on all sides. You'll then be chauffeured on the back of a scooter by one of our experienced motorcycle drivers and visit the Temple of Literature, the Parisian boulevards of the French Quarter and, if you're up for it, Ho Chi Minh's Museum complex and the historic Ba Dinh Square. The sightseeing will be complemented by two essential Vietnamese experiences: slurping on a bowl of Noodle Soup (Phở) and sipping on some traditional Vietnamese ice coffee (Café Sua Da), or even egg-coffee (Ca phe trung) as a unique and delicious drink that originated in Hanoi.
Continue your day with an engaging, hands-on Lacquering class. Here, you'll delve into the advanced and exquisite process of lacquer painting, with a special focus on the unique eggshell lacquerware found only in Vietnam. As you become part of this art form, you'll also cultivate patience - the traditional technique ensures that no two pieces are identical, as each layer of paint or water polish brings its own nuances. Plus, seize the opportunity to create your own masterpiece. Lacquer holds a distinct place in Vietnamese culture, and this experience allows your family to appreciate this art before a hands-on tutorial led by a local artist or the highly acclaimed professor.
Note: The motorbikes are normal motorbikes and not Vespas to provide maximum safety, flexibility and tailored experiences. The experienced drivers are English speaking students majoring in English/Tourism in college & university, hoping to become guides and guests are contributing to the future of tourism which we are passionate about and stand behind.
