    The description was very appealing . But did not remotely hold what it promised. It was declared as a 5 day tour, where it was only 4 days. The organization and communication was miserable. European standard and prices were charged for it. However, it was Vietnamese standard and prices. In short: A tourist trap

    Everything was perfectly coordinated. The guides in Sapa were fantastic and made the experience unforgettable. The food was fantastic, whether in one of the farm homes on the hikes, at the hotel before and after the hikes, or on the Ha Long cruise. The Friends Travel were world class. They were very friendly, accommodating and extremely capable. I could not suggest a single improvement and look forward to using them again.

    Asked on April 1st, 2022

    Are Covid restrictions affecting the 5 day tour from Hanoi overnight train, trekking Sapa with a home stay and Halong boat stay? Do you know of anyone certified to test us that could come to the hotel in Hanoi before our return flight and give us results in English?
