Smile let's / let us question tag

Dear,

how tackle the question tag of these sentences :-

a) Let's go away right now, .............................?
B) Let us go away right now. ............................?
Is it possible to use (do) for ordinary present simple
or tackle them according to the function using other
auxilaries as shall -can - will ......

thanks in advance

I'd use 'shall we'.

I would too, though I'd forgive someone who wasn't sure if they said 'OK?' .
