    A full day to explore this nostalgic city, beginning with your first Scenic Freechoice.

Those wanting a deeper cultural immersion can head to the ancient village of Bat Trang, a community devoted to traditional porcelain and pottery, where a local elder shares the spiritual beliefs of his community before a hands-on lunch of banh cuon rice pancakes. Scenic Enrich: This evening, a green electric car winds through the Old Quarter to your Scenic Enrich: a VIP performance of Hanoi's world-famous water puppet theater, with a special backstage pass to follow. ...
