2-day Pre-tour Extension in Hanoi
Use the opportunity to arrive one day earlier in Hanoi. Enjoy the sightseeing in a bustling city with tree-lined boulevards, French Colonial architecture, peaceful lakes, and oriental temples. Please keep in mind that the first day of this pre-tour modul covers some time for your journey to Vietnam as well as some spare time to enjoy the town on your own. On the 2nd day (which is as well the 1st day of your Boat & Bike Tour Vietnam) is made to show you the beauty of the Vietnamese capital on a guided tour.
1st Day (Sat): Arrival in Hanoi
Arrival at Hanoi Airport. A shuttle bus takes you to your hotel in the heart of the old quarter of Hanoi. Despite the three million inhabitants, Hanoi offers a rural and traditional atmosphere. The historic old town district is considered as one of the best-preserved in Southeast Asia. The colorful and bustling streets contribute to the Asian flair. The choice is yours today. Treat yourself to some fine food. You will find everything close to your hotel: from Vietnamese and French haute cuisine to plain but delicious meals out of little cookshops. Overnight stay in your hotel.
2nd Day (Sun): Guided tour through Hanoi (This is Day 1 of bike & boat tour)
After breakfast, your guide and your shuttle bus are ready to show you the best sights of the Vietnamese capital. On your excursion, you follow the tracks of the most famous Vietnamese person: Hồ Chí Minh. Even decades after his death he is still fondly called Uncle Hồ. We visit Hồ Chí Minh Museum dedicated to Hồ Chí Minh and the very modest cottage he used to live and work in, followed by a visit to the monumental marble and granite mausoleum where Uncle Hồ has found his final resting place. This excess is in total contrast to his life and contrary to his last wishes.
You continue with the One Pillar Pagoda, one of the best-known religious Vietnamese buildings and the Temple of Literature, known to be the first National University of Vietnam. Your guide takes you to the Museum of Ethnology after an invigorating lunch. Here you can learn about the various demographic groups, their way of living, and the different types of houses used by Vietnam’s 52 ethnic groups.
After you have visited Ngoc Son and Ba Kieu temple, a guided walk through the bustling Old Quarter, with more than 1,000 traditional houses, and sprawling Dong Xuan Market completes the sightseeing tour. Back at the hotel, you meet your fellow travelers at 5:30 pm for a short talk followed by dinner. (B,L)

Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy–Moderate
This easy to moderate cycling tour within Vietnam averages about 15 miles/24 km per day. Roads are mainly asphalted but good accessible trails will be utilized as well. The hilliest stretches are on Day 2 in Tra Ban and then during the tours in Cát Bà. The remaining cycling itineraries are without appreciable inclines. The difficulty of cycling in Vietnam lies mainly in the climatic conditions. By taking your time, using sufficient sun protection, and drinking enough water you can easily acclimate. Do note, that after a rainfall, some routes, especially on your first stage, are difficult to cycle. An alternative route may then be utilized.
If you reserve the extension into Cambodia, you will have a daily distance of up to 31 miles/50 km. Again, heat can be a factor!
