Hi We (3 people) are visiting Vietnam in April 2025. In Hanoi we would like to do a 2 day tour (1x overnight stay) in Halong Bay. We will fly on to Da Nang on the same day the tour ends. That's why it's important to know what time we'll be back in Hanoi so that we can book a suitable flight. Thanks for your help Robert
