Tours

You can joint a half-day tour in Hanoi city (Sep 26) and/or a full-day tour in Ha-Long bay (Sep 27). These tours are especially organized for interesting ICFP participants and companions, with english speaking guides. Unless the number of our fellow participants interested is far too small, the tour will be run. We will cover all the trip expenses including transportations, tickets, soft food and drink. However, for Ha Long bay tour, the lunch with sea-food on sighseeing boats will cost 20 USD/person.
