What people love about touring Halong Bay solo
- The Beauty of Northern Vietnam in 8 Days
It’s actually 4 separate group tours . Size ranged from 6 to about 28 people. Halong Bay was beautiful. I enjoyed the Sapa trekking the best - our guide Sung was excellent. Support from Chris at Vietnam Tour Fun was terrific taking away any anxiety about pickup times and locations.
- Luxury Halong Bay Cruise and Mountain Resort - 6 Days
Halong Bay is a new favorite place! This experience was magical. We are so grateful to Danny for his patience, attention, and everything he did to make the experience flawless! This was one of the best trips we have taken. I would love to have learned a bit more about Vietnam--the culture and the history. However, I did learn quite a bit through experience. Aldo and Belle of Paradise Halong Bay Cruises were amazing and pampered us so much that we decided to spend an extra night! Many thanks for the memories!
- Serenity & Spice: A Grand Southeast Asia Escape in 18 Days -(Thailand,Vietnam,Bali)
Visit to Vietnam has been a wonderful kit of memories. Thanks to the flawlessly smooth travel plan prepared by Realistic Asia. The choice of Hotels and their location was absolutely apt to our requirements. The cars for pick up and drop were of luxury class and drivers were very good... The day tours were all very planned and executed, the tour guides were very helpful.
