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

Mitchell_S, Jul 2026

Excellent tour guide-2 young teens 2 adults.

Your guide was excellent. Boat ride is rowed by a local person which is nice, but it is too long. Most of the trip is rowing in the heat holding an umbrella. But the temple site and historical story is fantastic. My kids are 12 and 14. Kids younger may lose interest.

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

Yunior_P, Jun 2026

Love Ninh Vinh

I recommend this tour for the professionalism and well planned in all aspects. The guide tour Danny was amazing, he took us in a beautiful journey from Hanoi to Ninh Vinh. He was very knowledgeable about the areas visited and history. The places over there are breathtaking specially when you climb the mountain to see the valley and the river from the top !! Wuaoo. Then the boat on the river is also a nice journey. I really recommend this tour to everyone who wants have a beautiful day out in Vietnam.

Scenic and Awesome Day!

This was an awesome trip. The buffet was excellent and delicious. There were so many dishes to chose from especially in the seafood section. The tour was well organized. The views were awesome. It felt like you were on a regular cruise. Drinks were not included but sold at a decent price. Fantastic Tour!

Halong Bay 5-Star Day Cruise-Titop Island, Cave, Jacuzzi & Buffet

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.

Private Ha Long bay day trip(From Hanoi city or Halong harbour)

Linda_A, May 2026

Memorable day on Ha Long Bay

A great day-trip from Hanoi (total excision was ~9 hours). Boating through Ha Long Bay was beautiful & opportunities to explore caves on foot and by small craft was also fun. An ample lunch served on the boat paired with an excellent and professional guide (Johnny) throughout the day made this private tour a good value. As a bonus we stopped at a pearl factory on the way out which was also quite fun!

Hanoi Noi Bai Airport Fast Track Arrival Service

KERDAL_L, Apr 2026

options: “On‑Time, Efficient, and Excellent Service”

Pick‑up was perfectly on time right at the airport gate, and the transfer to my hotel was fast and efficient. The driver even stopped to help me sort out my MiFi, which was a thoughtful touch. On departure, the service was just as reliable—arriving early and guiding me smoothly through the airport. Overall, the transfer was excellent and stress‑free. Expect punctuality, efficiency, and helpful service. From arrival to departure, everything ran seamlessly, making the journey easy and comfortable.

Hanoi in a day from Halong city

Urs_G, Apr 2026

Great private tour of Hanoi highlights

Terrific private tour with Jun as our great guide. We were picked up at the ship, no long walk. It was helpful that Jun joined us in Halong and gave us lots of local information on the drive. Do plan two hours to Hanoi and plan lots of walking since old Hanoi is a maze of small streets. Our driver was superb, navigating crazy Hanoi traffic. The tour is customized to what you want, but it is impossible to see everything so some advanced planning is useful. Jun recommended a local restaurant for lunch, not the usual hotel buffet.

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!
