    It was a well put together tour. Just a bit upsetting we missed out on some things due to the typhoon. But mud day, Hannah was just amazing. She took care of everything for us and made our time there so seamless. Thank you so much Hannah. Maybe we can get to experience Vietnam again.

    • Up Travel VietnamOperatorWritten August 2025

      For the room at hotel, you still need 1 room and then your child will be charged with kid's price. If you need any special on your birthday, we can help but with surcharge because this package doesn't includes gifts or any specials fee.

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      can u also share if we upgrade to 4 star , what will be cost? also will you able to share regarding the cruise, amenities etc. do we get a cruise upgrade too or does it stay same?

    • Up Travel VietnamOperatorWritten August 2025

      There is a 4-star hotel upgrade option. Regarding cruise in Ha Long, it will be sharing cruise (it is overnight cruise). You and your kid will stay in a private room so please rest assured. You only join activities with others in cruise.

      Sarah

      TravelerWritten August 2025

      I like the 5 days highlight itinerary planning, but I saw the reviews of 4 star upgrade hotel and cruise and the reviews were not very good. The three star package cruise and hotel has better reviews so I am confused. do you have another cruise option as well?
