What people are saying about Northern Vietnam

We had a great cruise at Ha Long Bay. The program was very nice with kayaking, swimming, octopus fishing and a nice tour to the caves with a rowing boat. The ship was called Le Theatre Cruise and it has nice bedrooms with balcony and a good shower. The food was also very good. Nothing was missing. The crew on the boat was great and they dis everything to make this a memorable trip. Transportation back to Hanoi (airport) was also excellent. The bus and taxi were waiting for us and everything proceeded accrding plan. I can definitely recommend others to book this trip. You get value for money

We were very happy with this tour! (Two girlfriends, first time in Asia, 22 years) The pick-up + return transfer went smoothly. The tour guide was always understandable and also talked a little on the bus tour. Although it was colder on our day (18 degrees) you could do everything great and for the "hiking tours" it was also very pleasant, only we didn't swim. The food was very delicious, for the drinks (coke 25,000 VND) you should bring some money with you. We would book it again :)

It was a very enjoyable tour and I was very satisfied. There was a proper contact before picking up, and I was able to participate with peace of mind. The English of the guide was easy to understand, and he explained Vietnam carefully. I made friends with my tour friends and it was a memorable trip. Thank you very much.

It was awesome!! The ship is very beautifull, everything is clean and 1st class. The staff is very attentive and nice - especially the crew head Mr. „Peter“. Kayaking and Cave Sightseeing were one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. I highly recommend it.

The tour was exactly as described and the food was very good. Personally, I didn’t think the destination is as special as people broadcast, but that’s definitely not an issue with the tour itself
