    Roger

    Asked on August 14th, 2024

    I was wondering if there is availability for 2 adults starting Dec 10th. I also want to check if it's possible to do this as a private tour rather than a group tour and if I could get a quote please?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten August 2024

      I confirm that this tour starts everyday, and you can travel on 10th Dec. However, I would like to advise you to join a group tour for Halong bay cruise and sharing the Limousine Van for Sapa tour. Because it is very expensive to rent a private Halong cruise and private car for a trip to Sapa 2 days. The price for this option: Private tour ( group tour for Halong bay cruise and sharing Limousine van for Sapa tour ): 768 usd/1 person

    Kenneth

    Asked on August 12th, 2024

    Is there a risk of having the tour canceled because there is not enough travelers?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten August 2024

      This tour is an independent tour, not everyone together from the start date until end date. You will have a group tour for each day trip, and have your own free time when you have no day trip. Therefore, this tour starts 100% everyday. Please be confident to book the tour if you are interested.

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      Can you be paired with a single traveler? What happens if I choose this but there are no extra travelers to share or it's only a man? Will I be forced to upgrade for more money?

    • P

      Pamela

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      I don't understand. Are you saying that you don't pair single travelers to share accommodation? Yes or no would be helpful.

    • Vietnam Real TourOperatorWritten April 2023

      Yes, we don't pair single travelers to share accommodation. Because we may not have the other person to book your tour for the same travel date.
