Great
Old Quarter Travel was great. Wish we could reserve with the company card instead but other than that, perfect. Great rate, good preferred hotels, website was straightforward. Definitely use again!

6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $451 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay take?
+
Plan for about 144 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.
Is 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6-Day Best of Northern Vietnam: Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Halong Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hanoi?
+
On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hanoi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hanoi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
