    Very efficient way to explore so much in such little time. Great for solo and group travels. Just some notes for those thinking of booking: It is a collection of tours organised seamlessly - so not the same group or guides for each part Make use of free time i.e. first day and last day to explore more yourself WhatsApp is a must and easy way to be contacted

    This was a well organised tour that covered several of the main tourist sites of North Vietnam in a relatively short period of time. The hiking and homestay with a H'mong guide in the Sapa region was a highlight.

    This tour was actually a combination of a few smaller tours combined. Each segment I found myself with different people. Initially I was uncertain if I’d made a wise decision as on the first scheduled day of activities, nobody came to pick me up from the hotel. Eventually a lady came and explained/apologised for the situation. The bus had gone without me, traffic problems etc. I was offered some cash to help compensate. Luckily for me I had a free day at the end which I was able to substitute for the initial missed day, so it all worked out. The man in charge (who I’d met the day before)was extremely apologetic & very good with communication at all times....especially when I got nervous about future pick ups! The hotel was a good base to come back to each time in between the overnight trips to Halong Bay & Sapa. Staff here were friendly & looked after luggage while I was away overnight. The boat was quite old looking, but seemed to be the case for most on the bay. It was safe though, food really good & great activities while on this segment of trip. Not too much space around the bed itself to move around. The home stay with the tribal people is very basic and may not be suitable for everyone. If you’re young, energetic & keen to see the simpler side of life then definitely go for it. It is very basic though. Cement floor, hard bed but has a mosquito net & there’s a lightbulb dangling freely from roof. To access the shower you needed to walk down a narrow sloping track which becomes very slippery after the rain. Leaving the place the following day I also nearly slipped down the trails which had become dangerously slick due to heavy rain overnight. The family though are kind & you’ll be fed well. Amazing considering the rudimentary kitchen!! The various guides throughout the different segments of the trip were all very friendly & mostly quite good with their English language skills. In summary I’d say it was good value for money, I’d recommend the trip (despite my initial concerns & the muddle up at the beginning) but suggest that for slightly older travellers (like myself) or those wanting a little more comfort, you should probably consider upgrading to something a bit more luxurious.

    Everything from start to finish was well organized. I felt supported the entire trip which was nice since this was my first experience tracking alone. When I didn’t utilize the airport shuttle service I was refunded accordingly for that service. I met the general manager in person and he gave me a nice travel bag gift. I would highly recommend Vietnam Real Tour to my friends and family.

    Roger

    Asked on August 14th, 2024

    I was wondering if there is availability for 2 adults starting Dec 10th. I also want to check if it's possible to do this as a private tour rather than a group tour and if I could get a quote please?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten August 2024

      I confirm that this tour starts everyday, and you can travel on 10th Dec. However, I would like to advise you to join a group tour for Halong bay cruise and sharing the Limousine Van for Sapa tour. Because it is very expensive to rent a private Halong cruise and private car for a trip to Sapa 2 days. The price for this option: Private tour ( group tour for Halong bay cruise and sharing Limousine van for Sapa tour ): 768 usd/1 person

    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten August 2024

      This tour is an independent tour, not everyone together from the start date until end date. You will have a group tour for each day trip, and have your own free time when you have no day trip. Therefore, this tour starts 100% everyday. Please be confident to book the tour if you are interested.

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      Can you be paired with a single traveler? What happens if I choose this but there are no extra travelers to share or it's only a man? Will I be forced to upgrade for more money?

      Pamela

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      I don't understand. Are you saying that you don't pair single travelers to share accommodation? Yes or no would be helpful.

    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten April 2023

      Yes, we don't pair single travelers to share accommodation. Because we may not have the other person to book your tour for the same travel date.
