Everyone was lovely and it was well organised and everything provided. What we didn’t know is that there would be so many long transfers by bus! We had thought we would ride hotel to hotel. So you need to ask the question if you don’t want to spend hours in a bus each day. There was also way too many stops that were too long. On hot days stopping for extended periods is not nice and it extends the time spent in the heat. Plus it meant not getting in until between 4-6pm (even though we were only riding 60-80km) each day which left no time to look around the town we were in. The last part in Hanoi area was much better as our guide tried to reduce the transfers and make it so we could at least finish earlier at the hotel we were staying in. So whilst it is a good tour - it was not what we were expecting. The lesson here is ask more questions before booking a tour.Show more
