   07:45-08:40 – Hotel Pick-Up
   Our English-speaking tour guide will pick up guests from various hotels in Hanoi's Old Quarter, between 07:45 AM and 08:40 AM. We strive to make pick-ups as timely as possible, but due to morning traffic in the Old Quarter and the number of hotels to collect from, this time is approximate. Please be ready to help expedite the process.
   10:30-10:45 – Short Lavatory Break
   A quick rest stop halfway to stretch your legs, use the facilities, or grab a quick snack if you missed breakfast (our driver appreciates a coffee break as well!) before we get back on the road to finish the journey.
   The length of this break will depend on the timing of morning hotel pick-ups in Hanoi. If the pick-up process is completed quickly, we will have more time for the rest stop.
