"Unfortunately, due to no fault of the tour operator, we missed the first part of the tour. However the operator was very helpful in trying to resolve our issues. We enjoyed what we did do, the trip to Halong bay was well organised and the tour guide very helpful and informative. The accommodation was very comfortable and the food good.

"Our tour with Tourradar and Legend Travel Group completely met our expectations of a great Hanoi and Vietnam tour. The communications before and during the tour were great. Mr Danny met us each day to make sure there were no problems. We were able to see and experience every activity or site that was promised in the tour. The lodging provided was excellent and was centrally located. The individual guides at the various sites were easily understandable and very knowledgeable. Our tour included an overnight on Halong Bay. The boat was very nice with good food and plenty of activities. I would highly recommend Tourradar and Legend Travel Group for a tour of northern Vietnam.

Demographics
Solo travelers connect naturally on our small group tours in northern Vietnam. The popular 10-day route takes you from Hanoi to Sapa on an overnight train, where you'll trek with fellow independent travelers through local villages and terraced rice fields. Everything's organized for you - transport, places to stay - but you've got plenty of free time to do your own thing. The Golden Triangle tour lets you explore three countries with other solo travelers; you'll paddle through Ha Long Bay, get to know Vientiane's laid-back atmosphere and explore the unique culture of Luang Prabang. Our guests often tell us how the small group setup helps them make friends while keeping that independent travel feeling they love.
Our active Vietnam tours really click with travelers in their 20s and 30s. The 9-day Vietnam Intro mixes things up nicely - you're exploring Hanoi by rickshaw one day, learning to cook local dishes the next, then trying your hand at mud fishing before cruising Ha Long Bay with your group. Another favorite has you cycling through rice fields, discovering hidden caves by kayak and spending evenings at local spots in Sapa. The guides know how to bring everyone together naturally, organizing group dinners and beach outings. You'll get plenty of organized activities but also enough free time to explore on your own or hang out with new friends from the group.
The 9-day northern Vietnam route works really well for families - our travelers tell us their kids love getting hands-on with activities like kayaking around Ha Long Bay's limestone formations and cycling through Mai Chau's countryside. The cooking classes in particular are a hit with children who enjoy learning to make Vietnamese dishes, and exploring Hoi An's ancient streets by bike gets everyone excited. Our guides know exactly how to keep teenagers interested, mixing up cultural lessons with games and activities that actually make sense for their age. Parents appreciate how we structure the days with proper downtime between activities and also keep things flexible enough to adjust when kids need a break or want to spend more time somewhere.
