    Well planned and organized tour. Best to visit the country in the winter period however it is still quite hot and humid.

    The tour was very good. Our guide Li in Sapa was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and was from one of the local villages in the area. Fabulous couple of days. Swan cruises on Halong Bay was also very good. The staff were excellent and we went to a quiet part of the Bay. Best price Tour staff were very responsive and we would recommend their company.
