Hanoi was just as lively as we remembered, but exploring Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature felt even more meaningful this time around. The cruise in Halong Bay was a dream, with breathtaking views and fresh seafood. But Ninh Binh stole the show—cycling through the peaceful countryside and visiting ancient temples made it a highlight of the trip. This tour is so well-planned and hassle-free.

- Earl· January 16th, 2025A Seamless Experience Through Northern Vietnam. Our journey began in Hanoi, where the Old Quarter's charm and the vibrant atmosphere left us enchanted. We loved visiting the Temple of Literature and Hoan Kiem Lake, but the food tour stole the show—so many delicious options to try! Halong Bay was everything I dreamed of and more. The overnight cruise was luxurious, and waking up to the serene beauty of the bay was unforgettable. Kayaking and exploring the caves added an adventurous touch. In Ninh Binh, we discovered why it's called “Ha Long on land.” The boat ride through Tam Coc felt like a peaceful escape, with towering limestone karsts and lush rice fields all around. The tour was perfectly organized, with a knowledgeable guide and plenty of time to enjoy each spot. A must-do for anyone visiting Vietnam!Show more
