  • Awesome Northern Vietnam Tour To Hanoi – Halong – Ninh Binh reviewer 1
    · June 23rd, 2025
    The 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.

    Great 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!

    Scenic, Relaxing, and Well-Organized. I just returned from the 5-day tour and couldn’t be happier. 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.

    This 5-day tour covered so much in a short time! Hanoi was exciting, with its busy streets and delicious food—our guide took us to some hidden gems for pho and banh cuon. Ha Long Bay was magical, especially the overnight cruise where we enjoyed a sunset on the deck. Ninh Binh felt like a peaceful escape, with stunning rice fields and dramatic limestone cliffs. Everything was well-arranged, and we never had to worry about transport or logistics. If you’re looking for a well-rounded Vietnam experience with history, nature, and culture, this tour is a must!

    After an amazing first trip to Vietnam, we couldn’t resist coming back—this time for Hanoi, Halong, and Ninh Binh! Hanoi was just as lively as we remembered, but exploring Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature felt even more meaningful this time around. The cruise in Halong Bay was a dream, with breathtaking views and fresh seafood. But Ninh Binh stole the show—cycling through the peaceful countryside and visiting ancient temples made it a highlight of the trip. This tour is so well-planned and hassle-free. Already thinking about our next visit!

    A Seamless Experience Through Northern Vietnam. Our journey began in Hanoi, where the Old Quarter's charm and the vibrant atmosphere left us enchanted. 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!

    My family and I had an amazing time on the 5-day Northern Vietnam tour! From the bustling streets of Hanoi to the tranquil beauty of Halong Bay, every moment felt magical. Hanoi’s Old Quarter was vibrant and full of character, and the food tour was a highlight—we couldn’t get enough of the pho and banh mi. Halong Bay was a dream come true. Cruising through the limestone islands felt like stepping into a postcard, and the kayak excursion made it even more memorable. Ninh Binh was equally stunning. Visiting Trang An felt like discovering 'Ha Long on land,' with peaceful boat rides and lush landscapes. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, sharing so much about Vietnamese culture and history. This tour was perfectly paced and well-organized. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to explore Northern Vietnam’s highlights in a short time!

    My family and I had an amazing time on the 5-day Northern Vietnam Tour. It was well-organized and packed with highlights. Starting in Hanoi, we explored the city's vibrant culture and history, from the Temple of Literature to a fun cyclo ride in the Old Quarter. Halong Bay was absolutely stunning—we kayaked in peaceful lagoons and enjoyed a sunset on the deck of our cruise. The overnight stay on the boat was cozy and offered delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Ninh Binh was another gem, with its towering limestone cliffs and lush rice paddies. Our guide was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a great experience. This tour gave us the perfect balance of sightseeing, relaxation, and cultural immersion. It’s a must for anyone visiting Vietnam!
