  • T

    Terry

    Asked on November 5th, 2025

    I want to ask what does it means " partially guided" because I'm a solo traveler and I don't want to book a tour and be there alone.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Old Quarter TravelOperatorWritten November 2025

      "partially guided" means you don't go with a guide all the time. There is transfer from Ninh Binh to Halong and you will go with driver only, no guide on the bus. It's a group tour and you will go with others, not solo.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Old Quarter Travel with your enquiry, they usually respond within 6 hours.
