The Itinerary
Day 1
Welcome to Vietnam

Hanoi Through Time
Hanoi, Vietnam
Spend the day tracing Hanoi's past with a guide, visiting the home of Ho Chi Minh and Hoa Lo Prison, the site known as the "Hanoi Hilton." End the day with a bicycle rickshaw ride through the Old Quarter, a fitting close to a day spent in the city's history.
Day 3
