  08.15 - 09.00: Hotel Pick up Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi Old Quarter, ranging from 08:15 AM – 09:00 AM.

Please be ready to help expedite this process. 10.30 - 10.45: Short Lavatory Break Quick rest stops halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack in case you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road and finish the drive.
