  • Exceptional Hanoi Wandering Tour to Ninh Binh and Halong Bay reviewer 1
    · June 30th, 2025
    Another Wonderful Trip with Viet Long We’ve used Viet Long Travel many times over the years, and they never disappoint. This 4-day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh and Halong Bay was no exception—it was one of our favorites! Everything was so well organized, from airport pickup to hotel check-ins. We loved our time in Ninh Binh, especially the serene boat ride through the grottoes and the sunset view from Hang Mua. The guide shared great insights into local culture, which made each stop more meaningful. Halong Bay was absolutely stunning. The overnight cruise gave us time to unwind and take in the views from the deck. The cooking class on board was fun, and the early morning tai chi session was a lovely touch. Viet Long Travel understands what travelers are looking for—they give you comfort, great value, and unique experiences every time.

    Just got back from this amazing 4-day tour, and I can’t recommend it enough! Hanoi was a great start—walking through the Old Quarter, trying delicious street food, and soaking up the local culture. Ninh Binh was a dream with its stunning limestone karsts and peaceful boat ride through Tam Coc. But Halong Bay was the real highlight—cruising through emerald waters, exploring caves, and kayaking around hidden lagoons. Everything was well-organized, the guides were fantastic, and the experience was beyond my expectations!

    I and my wife only had few days in Hanoi so our friends recommended us this tour. Ninh Binh & Ha Long Bay are two featured places that you need to go when you stay in the North of Vietnam. We had great time here and saw many natural places - stay away from busy city for few days. They are both so beautiful which we cannot compare. Thanks for arranging for us such a great trip!

    4 days in Hanoi & Halong was one of the best vacations we ever had. Our travel guide Tom and our driver Jimmy were very friendly, polite and very knowledgeable. Just a short trip, we had nice experience & enjoyed many local foods in Hanoi old quarter & joined cooking class on Halong cruise as well. We took more than 500 pictures in only 2 days. Highlights: Hanoi & Halong bay are a must when travelling to Vietnam, with typical lifestyle of Northern People here.

    I and my friends took a short vacation to Vietnam so we only spent 4 days in Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Ha Long bay. This tour did give a good impression to us. Our tour guide can speak very good English, he told us a lot about the tradtions and culture in Vietnam. This country is lovely and it's worth a deep explore. People are very friendly and we also enjoyed the scenery here. I think I am going to plan my next holiday in other regions of Vietnam.

    Highly recommend the Hanoi-Ninh Binh-Ha Long bay tour to anyone who visits Vietnam if your time is limited. Our guide - Ms. Chan was very informative about the places we went to. It made our experience in Vietnam more meaningful and memorable. Absolutely amazing and worthwhile trip. Big thanks!
