- Robin· June 23rd, 2025The Best Way to Experience Northern Vietnam in Just 5 Days If you're short on time but want to see the highlights of Northern Vietnam, this tour is the way to go. Each day was packed with activities, but it never felt rushed. Hanoi was a great starting point, full of energy and culture. Halong Bay was breathtaking – we had a very comfortable cruise and loved the fresh seafood on board. Ninh Binh was the hidden gem for me – riding bikes through the countryside and visiting ancient temples was such a peaceful experience. The hotels were comfortable, transportation was smooth, and we always felt looked after. A great value trip with unforgettable views with Viet Long Travel.Show moreTrip date: February 2025
- Lori· June 17th, 2025Great for Families Traveling as a family of four with two teens, we were a bit nervous about doing a tour, but Viet Long Travel made it so enjoyable. Their Awesome Northern Vietnam Tour was exactly what we needed: engaging for the kids and relaxing for us. In Hanoi, we learned a lot at the Temple of Literature and enjoyed the street food walking tour. Halong Bay was everyone’s favorite — kayaking through caves and sleeping on a quiet bay under the stars. Then in Ninh Binh, the bike ride through the countryside and the visit to Hoa Lu ancient capital gave us a real taste of rural Vietnam. Viet Long Travel was so responsive and flexible with small requests. The guides were patient, informative, and always made sure the kids were enjoying themselves too. This tour was the highlight of our Southeast Asia trip. Highly recommend for families looking to explore the beauty and culture of Vietnam together!Show moreTrip date: April 2025

Everything was perfectly paced—from the buzzing streets of Hanoi to the peaceful waters of Halong Bay and the stunning scenery in Ninh Binh. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, always sharing stories that made each place come alive. I especially loved the boat ride through Tam Coc—it felt like a dream. Hotels were clean and comfortable, and the food included was tasty and authentic. As a first-timer in Vietnam, I felt well taken care of every step of the way.Show moreTrip date: March 2025

We loved visiting the Temple of Literature and Hoan Kiem Lake, but the food tour stole the show—so many delicious options to try! Halong Bay was everything I dreamed of and more. The overnight cruise was luxurious, and waking up to the serene beauty of the bay was unforgettable. Kayaking and exploring the caves added an adventurous touch. In Ninh Binh, we discovered why it's called “Ha Long on land.” The boat ride through Tam Coc felt like a peaceful escape, with towering limestone karsts and lush rice fields all around. The tour was perfectly organized, with a knowledgeable guide and plenty of time to enjoy each spot. A must-do for anyone visiting Vietnam!Show moreTrip date: December 2024
