Where does the tour start — do I need to go anywhere specific?

No. The tour includes shared hotel pickup from your accommodation in Hanoi's Old Quarter. Just confirm your hotel address at booking and be ready at the stated pickup time: 8:45 AM for the morning tour or 12:45 PM for the afternoon.

How long does the tour last?

Based on the itinerary, the morning tour runs from approximately 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM and the afternoon tour from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM — roughly two and a half hours in total, plus transfer time.

Is there a dress code I need to follow?

Yes. Ngoc Son Temple requires covered shoulders, underarms, back, and knees. Bring a scarf or light sweater to wrap around if your outfit doesn't already comply — it's the easiest way to avoid being turned away at the entrance.

Can I bring my young child on the cyclo?

Children under 4 are welcome at no charge, but no separate seat is reserved for them on the cyclo. They would need to sit with an accompanying adult.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket is accepted — simply have your booking confirmation ready on your phone for the guide to check at pickup.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The itinerary is subject to change due to weather and traffic conditions. If significant disruption occurs, your operator will advise on alternatives or rescheduling.
