The scenery in Sapa and Ha Long Bay is truly breathtaking and exquisite. The food and accommodation were perfect.

The first day of this tour was not good. The guide was already fed up after midday and kept asking me what else I wanted to see. If I knew that, I wouldn't need a guide but a cab. The tour ended at 15:00. However, the morning with the trip out into the countryside was quite good. After checking out of the hotel, I wasted my time in cafés until I took a cab to the night bus - because you should organize that yourself. After that it got better and the really packed days (which is what I wanted) were well organized and the excursions were not of the cheapest category but really good. The guide in Ninh Binh and Halong was spectacularly good. The hotel in Hanoi was ok. I just don't understand why it has to be right by the night market. If you come back from an activity at night you have to walk there because it's closed to buses. The communication was also not so good. Everything was handled relatively monosyllabically without "hello", "did you enjoy it" or "sorry for the disorganized day 1". I also had to regularly ask how things were going.Show more

We did 5 days off the beaten track in the North Vietnam tour. It's really nice trip. We started from Hanoi and everything was excellent. I was really impressed with the motorbike trip to the outside of Hanoi. This is a really wonderful experience. The scenery in Sapa and Ha Long Bay is truly breathtaking and exquisite. The food and accommodation were perfect. All of our guides were very helpful and friendly. I really enjoyed this trip.Show more
