    The tour was fab and views were great. The tour guide, a young woman, did a great job, told a lot about the culture and customs of the villagers. We enjoyed the trekking experience and learned about how the villagers live.

    This tour was falsely adverstised as a 5 day tour on Tourradar. It was really a 2-day overnight Halong Bay Cruise followed by a separate 1 day tour to Nin Binh, with a 1 night hotel stay before the 2-day Cruise and a 1 night hotel stay after the 1 day Nin Binh tour. The purpose of booking a 5 day tour is to travel with the same people throughout the duration of the tour. However, this was not the case. In addition, it was really a total of 3 days of tours and not 5 days - i.e. there were no representatives from the tour nor did my tour group stay at my hotel before the 2 day Cruise and after the 1 day Ninh Bin tour. I paid a total of $299 + $140 for a single supplement, when I could have booked a separate 2-day Halong Bay Cruise and a separate 1 day Ninh Bin tour on Viator or Trip Advisor, as well as my own hotel stays for half the price (i.e. I got ripped off by the tour operator).

    hanoi, halong bay and tam coc are surely worth a visit. vietnam is a beautiful country and very nice people. however this tour operator is not good. they do not communicate well first of all. secondly the biggest concern was the cruise. it was a poor maintained boat with diesel fumes and loud engine noise the entire time. couldn't sleep due to diesel smoke coming into the room. food had no taste and generally deep fried.

    overall , i was satisfied with this tour. all accommodation was good. for my personal , the itinerary also simple, but it still allow me to explore by myself the city. Transportation, hotel, foods and a tour service during trip were good. I also appreciated with the guy as tour guide who handle us during Ninh Binh tour. He was so good as tour leader. Charming, friendly and helpful for all guests. all feel comfort and enjoy the trip.

    We had a wonderful trip to Hoa Lu-TamCoc , some 2 hours from Hanoi Capital. My family definitely enjoyed the trip to this "Ha Long Bay on land" - more so than Ha Long Bay itself. The cycling trip at the end of the trip was enjoyable too. I would recommend highly this trip to you.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip with our guide Simon who is very knowledgeable about this region's history. The ride along the river showed us the beautiful karsts and the rowers have incredible stamina rowing for about 2 hours using arms and legs! This trip also involves cycling around the countryside for about 40 minutes and before the activities, a buffet lunch was provided. Tour highly recommended if your want to see a bit of Hanoi's countryside in a limited time to spend in Hanoi. Thank you very much for making my trip a memorable one.

    Excellent tour to Halong Bay. We did the tour to Halong Bay from Hanoi with our guide, Kevin. He explained so many things to us. His English was quite good, extremely friendly person and very entertaining and funny. The food given for lunch was very good. Titop island and Amazing cave was amazing. It was the best part of the trip. Our guide Kevin was really informative and fun.

    We didn't know any tour program, so I asked the hotel and they booked for us via Vietnam Travel Top. The package include day tour to halong bay. The tour guide is good in command(David). When we was moving on the bus he let us know many things about Viet nam. I think Hanoi is better place to travel with tour operator like Vietnam Travel top, because it is quite hard to travel by myself(not that good transportation, such as metro, bus). I highly recommend this tour guide and company to everyone wishing to visit the jewel of nature, magnificent Halong Bay.
