Itinerary

  • Hanoi has four distinct seasons, with the most pleasant conditions typically from October to April. Autumn and early spring bring mild temperatures and clearer skies, ideal for city walks, museums and exploring the Old Quarter. Summer from May to August is hot and humid, with occasional heavy rain, which may affect outdoor sightseeing but keeps parks and lakes at their greenest. Winter can be cool and misty, especially in December and January, though it remains comfortable for most city activities. For custom itineraries, late autumn and spring offer the best overall balance.
  • Meals included in a private Hanoi tour can be tailored to vegetarian, vegan or allergy-related needs whenever food is part of the itinerary.
  • Guides, drivers and special Hanoi experiences such as food tours, workshops or day trips depend on availability during weekends and peak travel months.
  • All cancellation conditions for Local Vietnam apply; you can read the full policy on our cancellation policy page.
