Pickup optional
Pickup and drop-off service is available if your hotel is located in Hanoi Old Quarter. Pickup is between 7:00 AM - 7:45 AM. During pickup time, please be at the hotel. This is a budget group tour so the bus needs to pick up in different hotels so time should be flexible, moreover, due to traffic in certain times, especially weekends, when Hanoi will block some streets that the bus cannot get in. One more reason is somebody may be late or accidental incidents that make them late, so please be patient and enjoy the time at the hotel until our guide is there to get you into the bus.
