All Northern Vietnam Tours & Excursions in 2026

Everything went well and on time from hotel pickup to the tour and back to the hotel. Johnny was our tour guide was very helpful and attentive. He spoke good English and gave instructions clearly. We never had any issues. I highly recommend this tour.

A great mix of history, physical activity and natural beauty. Our tour guide Loi was great throughout the entire day, keeping us on track with the timeline without pressuring us to feel like we were rushed and giving us his insight on the history of the areas we visited.

Our guide Tom and the driver really looked after us all day, we were collected from our cruise ship on time , in an air conditioned comfortable car. We saw so many different interesting attractions during our day, Tom was very knowledgeable about them all. One stop was for an Egg Coffee, really creamy, a must do! The included lunch was lovely, the restaurant and staff really nice. The mad traffic is an experience like no other, both fab and mad, our driver did a great job. Thank you Tom we had a really great day spending just the right amount of time at each attraction.

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.

Is quite busy 24 hours on the boat. Was slightly nervous as a solo traveler but was fine. Boat was nice. Excursions were enjoyable. Staff were excellent. Tony a great guide. Bus to/from Hanoi a bit chaotic. As expected they stop at a place both ways to allow businesses to sell you some rubbish. But that is expected on a tour. But would be better if they went straight there. But that just a minor point.

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

The boat and staff were exceptional. And the scenery was beautiful. We had a great time. Got to meet some wonderful passengers that we had a lot of fun with. The only problem (not their fault) was the trip wasn't long enough. Next time I'll do a two or three day trip.

We loved our trip to Ha Long Bay! The boat was very comfortable and our room was gorgeous with a balcony and tub bath. The staff was extremely attentive to our every need. The food was very good, a mix of buffet style for lunch and breakfast and then plated meal for dinner. You do have to pay extra for any drinks you want. The excursions are great, including swimming, kayaking, and bicycle riding. I would definitely recommend the two nights stay because you get to do more activities and the one night seemed very rushed.
