About Hanoi - Sapa - Halong 5-Day

The Hanoi - Sapa - Halong 5-Day is a private, fixed-price Vietnam package designed by our Packages Lead Hằng Tran (12 years Indochina operations · ex-TUI Group). It covers Hanoi, Sapa and Halong over 5 days and 4 nights, paced so guests do not repeat a hotel they have slept in. Touring mixes private days (your own guide + vehicle) with SIC group days (shared with other travelers · meaningful group savings) as noted in the day-by-day.

Pricing is published as a transparent matrix: 3 season windows, 3 hotel tiers (3★ Boutique · 4★ Premium · 5★ Luxury — real named hotels, configurable per city), and group-size brackets (solo travelers see roughly a 50% premium over couples). All-inclusive ground covers accommodations, the meals listed per day (B/L/D codes), private + SIC tours, A/C vehicles, English-speaking guides and water on tour days. Internal/international flights and the e-visa are excluded per Vietnamese tour-operator industry standard, giving guests date flexibility.

The 5-day shape · why this sequence works

This 5-day shape sequences Hanoi, Sapa and Halong to minimise dead transit time. Each day-by-day card shows the pick-up/drop-off window, the meals included, and whether the day is private or SIC (shared) so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Hằng can run the route in reverse or swap the start/end city at the same price — useful when your international flights favour a different arrival airport.

How prices are derived · Per-pax USD by season × hotel tier × group size (descending economies of scale). The 1-pax rate is inclusive of the single supplement; the Single supplement column applies when a traveler in a 2+ group wants their own room. NET supplier cost is reverse-derived at a 25% margin · then any B2B tier discount applies per signed-in account (Silver 10% / Gold 12% / Platinum 15%). Christmas/New Year, Tết and other black-out dates carry a surcharge — Hằng quotes those exactly.

Packages Lead · 12 years Indochina operations

I built the Hanoi - Sapa - Halong 5-Day to give a clean, honest Vietnam shape at a fixed price — no hidden extras, real named hotels per tier, and a paced route that does not exhaust you. Tell me your dates, group size and tier and I will quote in 1 hour; if a small tweak (an extra night, a tier mix, a private-vehicle day) would make it better for you, I will say so.

Frequently asked questions

What does "all-inclusive ground" mean exactly?

It covers everything on the ground: hotel nights per your selected tier, the meals listed in the day-by-day (B=Breakfast, Br=Brunch, L=Lunch, D=Dinner), all tours + sightseeing entrance fees, all transfers (private + SIC mix per day), A/C vehicles, English-speaking guides, and water on tour days. NOT included: international flights, internal domestic flights, the e-visa, travel insurance, alcoholic drinks, personal expenses, and tips for SIC guides + drivers.

How does group-size pricing work?

Prices are per person and drop as the group grows (shared vehicle + guide economics). Brackets are 1 / 2-3 / 4-5 / 6(-7) / 8 pax. The 1-pax rate already includes the single supplement; a solo traveler inside a 2+ group who wants their own room pays the Single supplement shown per tier per season.

Why are flights excluded?

Per Vietnamese tour-operator standard, internal and international flights are excluded so you keep date flexibility and book the fares that fit your schedule. Hằng will tell you exactly which internal flights the shape needs and the typical price.

How is pricing for children?

Industry standard: kids 0-5 sharing a parent's room are free, kids 6-11 sharing pay ~50% of the adult rate, kids 12+ pay the full adult rate. Maximum 1 child sharing per double room; a twin with an extra bed for 2 kids adds a small per-night charge. Hằng quotes families exactly.

What is the visa situation?

Vietnam single-entry e-visa is $25 USD direct via evisa.gov.vn (3-5 business days). ATL DMC does not handle visas; if you need rush processing we point you to our /visa/apply assist service.

What's the cancellation policy?

Standard ladder: ≥45 days before travel = full refund (less 5% processing) · 22-44 days = 30% fee · 8-21 days = 50% fee · 0-7 days or no-show = 100%. Halong cruise typhoon cancellation is handled separately (100% refund of the cruise portion or reschedule). We recommend travel insurance.

Can I customise the shape or change the city order?

Yes — we run it in both directions at the same price, swap the start/end city, mix hotel tiers per city, add nights, or convert SIC days to private. Use the customise options above or message Hằng; you get a revised quote in about an hour.

How is this better than booking each piece myself (DIY)?

We contract directly with hotels + cruise operators + SIC providers, so you avoid the 15-30% OTA aggregator markup per service and the overhead of booking a dozen separate services with separate cancellation policies. You also get a curated day-by-day that avoids bad transitions. Honest disclosure: a confident solo traveler with time to research can sometimes save a little DIY — for couples, families and first-timers, the package is the better deal.
