good tour

miray_m, Jan 2026

all was good. For Ninh Binh, it became a bit hectic for getting to the hotel as the group we did the activities went back to Hanoi while we were sent to an hotel in Ninh binh. But in the end we managed. The hotel we stayed in Ninh Binh was not that good, but ok for 1 night on a day we were exhausted. Cruise staff was perfect. Rooms were clean. the itinerary didnt include the caves i wanted to see, however still wonderful scenes and activities. staff also accommodated the activities/food for our toddler. we loved it!

Ninh Binh/ Halong Bay 3 days 2 nights

Lorelle_K, Mar 2025

Picked up at the time we were told. Lots of communication. Bus drivers drove well. There were a few stops and sight seeing on the way.Ninh Binh was really pretty . You can climb up the 500 steps to the top but I didn't do that instead walked around the pretty area. Our Bungalow for the night was out of town . It was near a river, food for dinner was ok but I gave breakfast a miss. The room was clean and tidy. The following day was the Halong Bay cruise. The cruise itself was lovely. We were on the Aquamarine ship which was quite old. Def not a 5 star ship. It could do with a full refurnished. Food was good and the staff were amazing. So friendly and happy. On our cruise there was only 1 other couple that spoke English , the rest was a large French group who didn't speak any English and were quite rude and pushy. The cruise ship should have really transferred me and the other couple to an English speaking ship.That would have made the trip completely different and more enjoyable. Halong Bay was beautiful . I would recommend this tour but would choose a different ship.

First, the coordinator IVY help with all my special needs before, during and after the tour. The cruise was once in a life time must do. The excursion was just enough and allow time to rest. Food are great too.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

The program was very well...

Celine_E, Dec 2024

The program was very well thought through, with very interesting and beautiful visits, diverse activities, but it was not too intense. It gave enough time to enjoy each site without rushing. Our guide for Ninh Binh and the homesray hosts, the cruise guides and staff were great. Boarding for the cruise was a little unclear and complicated, but Ivy at the travel agency was available and very helpful. Our guide at the cruise also made sure that we found our driver easily after we unboarded. All in all, it was a great trip

Great value for money well coordinated trip.

BINDU_C, Sep 2023

It was a great north vietnam trip. Both the pagoda trip, Ninh Binh trip and Halong bay cruise was all very good and spot on included with great experiences and memories. Ivy coordinated it best and Hue guided it great and the little river stay and Mr morning’s coordination and the Halong bay cruise all were the best any one can expect for the amount paid. You just book the trip , the rest all will be taken care by Viator. The food was outstanding especially the cruise gone dinings and the dinner at Little river resort. Great value for money and super transport coordination and great places to visit at the most comfortable way. 10/10
