Review Hai Phong city tour
This Hai Phong city tour is suitable to people who has full day free or only half day free. The half day city tour allows you quick comprehend the city. It’s doable if you’ve just finished your Halong bay 2 days tour or Halong bay 3 days tour.
The number of tourists traveling and leaving in Hai Phong are fewer. Then we do not have big group to use bus for transfer. In case there is only 1 customer in tour, we will use motobike to transfer. When there are from 2+ persons, we use car instead.
If you choose option 1, you will do common itinerary or also known as classic tour. You will visit all the best tourist attractions in Hai Phong city center then do cycling at Do Son area. This is considered a pearl of Hai Phong.
If you book option 2, you will spend your afternoon on the mountain in countryside. This is perfect to practice exercise or improve your health at weekend. Tourists only know about things to do in city center. But the life in countryside may bring you other point of view. So if you have one day, let’s do option 3.
