    Love this trip! Great communications about what was happening every day. This trip was different because we had a different guide every day. It worked because of great communication. Great hotels and breakfast every day. All tours included lunch. Everything was handled for us. Great tour coordination!

Besides that it was a good itinerary and may return for different side

    • Old Quarter TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      It's only included 1 night on cruise in Halong Bay - Cozy Bay Cruise. Hotel in Hanoi is not included. Yes. It's still available for 2 people.

      Emma

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      Can you please specify which cabin type is included? Also what is included on Day 4 for Ninh Binh Tour? Transport? Any acitivites? Which meals are included? Is there any breakfast included?

    • Old Quarter TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      For 2 people, it will be a double/twin cabin. For Ninh Binh Tour, it's all included tour, just except Drinks & Tips. Normally I would recommend to do Hoa Lu - Trang An - Mua Cave tour. You will have time to visit Hoa Lu ancient temples, do boat trip in Trang An, take photo of panorama view from Mua Cave View point and short cycling trip along rice field and river. 1 Lunch is included for Ninh Binh Day Trip and 2 Lunches, 1 Dinner, 1 Breakfast are included for Halong Bay 2D1N Cruise.

      Emma

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      On the cruise are there different cabin types to choose from? Does the cabin - that is included - have a window?

    • Old Quarter TravelOperatorWritten December 2022

      There are only Double Bed or Twin Beds cabin, and there is only cabin on 1st floor. And yes, cabin includes window, but no balcony. This package is for 3-star services so the cruise is also 3-star only, not a luxury one.
