What are people saying about Hanoi

Carrie_A, May 2026

Wow!

This was an amazing experience! Bit of a struggle because it was SO hot while we were there (I think 112 degrees Fahrenheit real-feel), but it was absolutely beautiful. Louis our guide was hilarious, real, and knowledgeable. We stopped at the old capital, checked out the temple and learned some history. Then it was on to hike to the top for some absolutely unreal views. (Not for the faint of heart-i thought i might keel over from heat stroke, but bless his heart Louis stuck by us to get some pics and make sure i didn't fall off the side of the mountain). After that, we went on a boat ride for about an hour or so, and oh my goodness the scenery was SO COOL. Stopped for lunch after the boat ride (goat is surprisingly tasty lol) and then onward to the motorbike tour! Learned a ton there and saw things we'd never get the chance to if we'd been riding bikes in that heat. The whole thing was a good pace (maybe a bit more time for the hike since I was dying a slow death on the way up that mountain) but overall a really good pace. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Ninh Binh Day Tour To Visit Hoa Lu - Trang An/Tam Coc - Mua Cave

Naim_I, May 2026

Excellent tour

Outstanding day from beginning to end—truly one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Ninh Bình is absolutely a must-do while visiting Hanoi. The day started with a smooth and punctual hotel pickup, and everything was exceptionally well organized from start to finish. The itinerary flowed seamlessly, making the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. Our tour guide, Hana, was outstanding—professional, organized, incredibly knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. She made the day both informative and fun, and her passion for the region really enhanced the experience. She was assisted by Happy, who is currently training as a tour guide, and he was wonderful as well—friendly, helpful, and clearly very promising. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi who wants an unforgettable day trip. A truly exceptional experience.

Ninh Binh Heritage Full Day Tour with Buffet Lunch and Limousine

Angeline_L, May 2026

Equally special to do

No it’s not the same as Halong Bay, worth doing too! Both places are different and both special to do. This Ninh Binh experience was so comfortable as we travelled in a 9-persons group tour in a small van limousine that had massaging seats 😳 and the different places, activities and lunch was all very enjoyable. Boating down the river and through the caves was amazing to do amongst the picturesque limestone hills and padi fields. Hubby and I had a great time!

Angela_T, Apr 2026

Great food tour and friendly guide

Nick was so friendly funny and told us some great stories!He spoke very good English and easier to understand compared to other Vietnamese guides! We really enjoyed the tour and the food was so delicious. We tried 5 different dishes and without a local guide you would not know where to go and what to try! Specially street food you need to know which place is safe to eat. We had a laugh and Nick also bought us some poncho as it was raining so much and we continued the tour and took funny pics with ponchos! I would highly recommend it!

My guide was Sao and she went above-and-beyond to make sure I had an amazing experience! She taught me about history, culture, and took me to the spots I really wanted to see. She was absolutely delightful and I'm hoping to connect with her the next time I visit. 5-star service and a truly wonderful day!

Ninh Binh Day Tour from Hanoi with Tam Coc Boat Trip & Mua Cave

Hemant_K, Apr 2026

Awesome trip!!

I had an amazing experience on my Ninh Binh excursion in Vietnam! From the very beginning, everything was handled professionally—the tour guide Sunny picked me up right on time from my hotel, which made the day start stress-free. He managed all the activities smoothly and kept everything running on schedule without making it feel rushed. His English was very good, and he provided clear instructions throughout the day, which made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. The lunch buffet was another highlight—there was a wide variety of dishes, including plenty of vegetarian options, and everything was fresh and delicious. The itinerary itself was fantastic, with a great mix of activities including a temple visit, a peaceful bamboo boat ride, a fun bicycle ride, and hiking. It was the perfect balance of sightseeing and adventure. Overall, it was a well-organized and memorable trip. I’d definitely recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Vietnam!

Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay Luxury Day Cruise by The Halong Catamaran

Joany_G, Apr 2026

Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this tour! It was the perfect mix of downtime and fun activities. Our guide, Nam, was fantastic—super personable, easy to understand, and he made sure to connect with everyone on board. Transportation was seamless with a very safe driver. We stopped at a pearl farm on the way, which was educational and genuinely low-pressure. The catamaran was incredibly modern for a day-tour boat. I also really appreciated the vibe; they played fun, family-friendly music at a reasonable volume, avoiding the loud party scene of some other boats. We had an amazing 5-course lunch while cruising, followed by great activities like a bamboo raft ride through a cave, kayaking, swimming, and even a hot tub. They capped off the afternoon with a cooking demo and snacks. Overall, an incredibly scenic and relaxing day trip with excellent service.

The best part of our Hanoi visit

This is a blast! I was a little nervous about the overall riding part but Simone and Thu were amazing drivers and made the experience fun. We went to four different stops, walked around some secluded parts of the city and had so much incredible food. Would have done this again if I could have and definitely request Simone and Thu if you want the best hosts.

Ha Long Bay Cruise Day Tour - best selling: Kayaking, Swimming, hiking & Lunch

Walter_S, Mar 2026

Absolutely worthwhile, extremely good value adventure among Ha Long Bay’s gorgeous islets

Absolutely worthwhile, extremely good value adventure among Ha Long Bay’s gorgeous islets. The 3 stops included kayaking through a cave to an enclosed area with monkeys (row boats available for people with less energy), a guided walk through Surprise Cave and then Titop Island where you can either walk to the viewpoint (about 100m up, lots of steps) to enjoy fabulous views or chill on the beach. The tour itself was very well organized. Our home base was the boat Vera Cruise where we were served a delicious lunch as we left the cruise terminal. Staff were available at all times; beyond the included lunch there was a comprehensive beverage menu. Our guide Quan was great and kept us on track time-wise. The day we went was unusually crowed due to 2 big ships in town that day and the weather was overcast/hazy but we still had a fantastic time.

Half day tour that is a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This half day tour is very interesting. The process of hat-making and the painting process to make it look attractively colorful is so unique. The incense village was so gorgeous. People adores the wonderful color (mostly red). This one is a must to see especially if you prefer half- day tour. Our guide Lana was fantastic. She is very good from beginning to the end. She explains the whole tour and what to expect and always find time to answer all our questions.
