    It was a good trip. Swallow tour operators took care of everything end to end. Well communicated. 4 starts instead of 5 because the hotel room that was given to us was not we expected in Hanoi. Otherwise, cruise and others are 5stars!

    Great impressions from Halong Bay. However, there are a lot of boats on the way. - Well-organized boat trip with an overnight stay. Food very sufficient and tasty, friendly staff.

    Halong Bay was stunning. The boat’s cabins, decks, and dining room were very nice, attractive, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The food was very good. Loved the kayaking, and we were able to see lots of monkeys! The cave was impressive, beautifully lit and lots of fun to explore. Hanoi is a vibrant, exciting city with lots of energy. Our hotel lobby was gorgeous, but the room, itself, was a disappointment. Our window was covered by a concrete wall, so there was no natural light, and it felt like you were in a cave when you were in the room. If you book this tour (and you should, it was great) make sure that you ask for a hotel room with a proper window!

    We had an amazing time on our Hanoi and Halon Bay trip! It was an experience we will not soon forget. We especially were impressed with our cruise along the Bay. Our guide was very kind along with the rest of the staff who works very hard to provide a last impression on their guests. Accommodation on the boat was very cute and the food provided was more than enough. We will recommend this trip to everyone. Thank you so much for the great memories!!

    The tour process was awesome, just need to read itinerary as we thought it as a three day cruise, when it was 1 and the other off the boat.1 night on the boat is not enough yet others were on there 2 nights. A bit annoying that part but everything else was magical
