Hanoi Shore Excursions from Ha Long Port
These tours start at Ha Long cruise port, not in Hanoi. The drive is 2.5 to 3 hours each way, so on a normal 8 hour call you get maybe 3 hours in the city.
We will be straight with you. Many guests who pick Hanoi on a normal day call tell us afterwards that they mostly remember the bus. If it is your first time and the call is short, Ha Long Bay is the better day.
Hanoi makes sense when your ship stays overnight, or for 10 hours or more. Then you can walk the Old Quarter and see the main sights without rushing, or stay one night and do Hanoi and the bay over two days.
Before you book, read Ha Long Cruise Port: What You Can Really Do in 8 Hours. It explains when Hanoi is worth the drive.
