What are people saying about Northern Vietnam

Timothy_K, Aug 2026

Hanoi Tours 1/2 day inc Train St.

We did the Hanoi City Tour: Private Half-day Customised with Train Street. It was fantastic. Peter our guide spoke excellent English and was incredibly knowledgeable, providing us with real insight to the attractions as well as some personal stories that added context. He was most helpful and considerate as it was a particularly warm day. The Hoa Lo Prison was a fascinating look into the past. Train Street was a truly awesome experience, we had front row seats and the Iced Coconut coffee (Peter’s suggestion) was absolutely delicious. St Joseph’s Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh’s mausoleum and Pagodas were all impressive sights. The driver of our car was very professional and took good care of us, and the air conditioning certainly appreciated. This tour was one of the best highlights of our Vietnam holiday and we very highly recommend Peter and his tour. Thank you very much indeed, Tim & Sue Kotlar

Ninh Binh Full Day Tour with Hoa Lu, Trang An and Mua Cave

bhavishajp, Aug 2026

Great tour - lots of sights and not rushed at all!

This is a great tour. We have a 12 and 13 year old and although the day and itinery is packed we all enjoyed it very much. It felt like we packed in so much but didn’t feel rushed at all which was nice! Key was a great tour guide he explained things very well and made some light jokes on the way. He helped my son on the bike ride and gave him confidence (it had been a while since he’d ridden a bike)! Really nice tour, beautiful sights and amazing tour guide! Thank you!

Ninh Binh Hightlight & Hidden Gem from Hanoi with Skip-The-Line

Richard_S, Aug 2026

Ask for Hui, he is an amazing guide

Our guide was called Hui and he made our day incredible. We climbed a mountain then we went on the river boats and then we went on a Vespa. The whole time he was telling us stories, keeping us entertained telling us about life in Vietnam. The driver was really excellent as well. It was a small group of seven people. It was a brilliant day, lunch was superb and I would really recommend spending the money on the small group tour with Skip the Line.

Small Group Hanoi Street Food Tour with a Real Foodie

Sarah_K, Aug 2026

Amazing Food Tour with Bob – High Light of Hanoi!

We booked a street food tour for our group of 6 and it was absolutely fantastic! Bob was an incredible guide – super knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Hanoi's food culture and in touch with each of us, also very friendly with the children. He showed us the best local delicacies we would never have found out about on our own. To top it all off, he surprised one of us with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful gesture! Thank you so much, Bob/Minh, for making our evening so special. 10/10 highly recommended!

Ricky was our guide for the day. Ricky and Hoe (the driver) were very serious about the safety of everyone on the bus. Ricky explained everything perfectly and made us smile during the trip. Overall, we had a really great time. I would highly refer this company to anyone I know.

Nimish_S, May 2026

Best single day tour experience possible

If you're thinking about taking this trip, just go for it. It is ABSOLUTELY worth it. Our guide Johnny was amazing and helped us from the very first second until we were back in our Airbnb. The rest of the crew were also catering to our every need all the time. I can't believe how much is offered for the price we paid. 11/10 recommended.

Halong Bay - Hera Cruise - All Inclusive Multi Days Tour

Alex_T, Feb 2026

Grand Hera our best choice

The Hera Grand vessel is a classic well presented & beautiful boat. Our room & Ensuite was large, nice polished timber decor and comfortable. Air conditioned with a king size bed. The staff, service and food was excellent. The limestone formations & scenery was great with activities organised for every day. Plenty of time to relax on the 3 levels of the ship. We saw many ships in the HaLong Bay and we believe the Hera Grand was the classic top timber boat of them all. We did the 2n 3 day tour.

3-Day Hanoi-Ninh Binh-Halong-Lan Ha Bay 5 Star Cruise & Balcony

Kiersten_L, Feb 2026

Definitely worth it!

What a great excursion! We had a great tour guide for Ninh Binh. Our accommodations that evening were very nice. The cruise ship and accommodations were spectacular. Just wish we could have fit in an extra night! Food was great and the service was exceptional. They helped us book a ride directly to the airport and their communication was top notch. Highly recommend

Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Cruise

Tracey_M, Jan 2026

Best tour so far!

This was my favorite tour so far! We were on the 5 Star Aqua Elegance Ship in a Queen Suite. Our room was huge with a balcony and jaccuzzi tub. We were pampered by Ronaldo, our waiter, and Ken, our tour guide. The activities were super fun and the food was excellent. Even the transport to and from the tours were comfortable with the luxury buses and vans. Halong Bay is spectacular scenery. Kayaking through the sea cave into the bay was the highlight of the trip for me, but the cave walk was a close second. Spectacular!
