The remaining balance must be settled no later than 2 days before the departure date. We encourage direct payments on our website for instant booking updates and email notifications. All online payments are processed securely through OnePAY, Vietnam’s leading international payment gateway.

      We also accept alternative payment methods:

      • Additional fees may apply for credit card payments, imposed by your bank/card issuer.

      4. Final Payment

      Final payment should be made after you arrive Hanoi. Payment by cash or credit cards both are accepted.

      5. Cancellations & Refund of Unused services

      Our cancellation policy is clearly outlined within each tour or itinerary under the “POLICIES & OTHER INFORMATION” tab. If you do not see the “POLICIES & OTHER INFORMATION” tab in any tour or itinerary, the following general cancellation policy will apply:

      Cancellation by customer will be charged as follows:

      • More than 30 days before arrival: 0% of total tour price.
      • Within 15 days to 30 days before arrival: 10% of total tour price.
      • Within 7 days to 15 days before starting time: 50% of total tour price.
      • Within 2 days to 7 days before starting time: 75% of total tour price.
      • Within 2 days before starting time: 100% of total tour price.

      In the event of cancellation by the provider due to circumstances beyond our control, such as government restrictions, weather conditions, or natural disasters:

      • Customers will receive a refund based on specific conditions. If the tour has not yet commenced, you will receive a full refund. If the tour is already in progress, a partial refund will be issued, depending on the services you have used or those that could not be completed.
      • No refunds or exchanges will be offered for accommodations, meals, tours, transportation, or any other services included in the tour price but not utilized by tour members.

      NOTE: All our cancellation policies, clearly described on our website, can be adjusted in favor of the customers if they provide early notice. We always strive to ensure the maximum possible benefits for our customers in any case of tour cancellation.
