We heard about Northern Vietnam is the most peaceful area in the country. So we decided to spend our vacation with this 8-day trip and Crossing Vietnam Tour who earned a number of positive feedbacks was our last option. We just had to pack our belongings and be taken care by the company. All of the highlights were shown in the tour. We had Alex as the guide and his english was beyond our expectations. Highly recommendShow more

We did a seven day tour with Vietnam crossing including Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay! Everything was like clock work. All pick ups on time and all the hotels were good and we upgraded in one to get a junior suite. Alice was always available and very helpful. The street food tour with Alice was also a lot of fun. The only negative was our guide in Sapa who was not informative. Thank you Alice and Vietnam Crossing!Show more

We had an interesting time in Hanoi, Sapa and Halong Bay. Thanks to Lucy who coordinated everything well, from logistics to scrumptious meals at different Vietnamese restaurants. Sapa is a scenic place not to be missed when in Vietnam. Our guide, Mr Tommy, was very enthusiastic and responsible. He was also our photographer, skilful in capturing lovely shots. A day visit to Halong Bay is enough to enjoy its natural beauty. Overall, the trip was value for money, with a caring coordinator, personal guides and drivers!Show more
