What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Halong Bay
Good support via WhatsApp with David everything went to plan and enjoyed every trip It’s pretty full on so be prepared it’s not a relaxing break but you do see a lot I’d say the walking in Sapa is a 7 not a 5 there’s some scrambling around and steep hills For the night train would have liked some helping getting me on the train, staff on the train aren’t very helpful, I’d be ok now having done it once. I’d also upgrade to the top carriage in terms of comfort and get a 2 bed carriage But I’ll be going again next year will sort out an itinerary with the tour company directly Hotels were all good and staff were lovely

- Spirit of Southeast Asia in 16 Days: A Voyage of Culture & Calm (Vietnam,Thailand,Bali)
We had never been to Asia, and wanted to touch on the main points. Thang did not disappoint! He planned our trip and our excursions exactly as I asked. Our hotels were beautiful, our tours were amazing, and we left feeling completely satisfied. Thang even met us in Hanoi which was a lovely surprise. His guidance, suggestions, communication and answering of all our questions can’t be beat!
The tour was incredibly well organised, all transfers arrived exactly on time and the whole trip was very efficient. Long Pham checked in everyday to be sure the hotels were okay and the transfers were smooth. It’s a solo tour where you join a group for the Pu Long excursion and a different group for the Ha Long bay cruise. I was travelling alone and I met lots of wonderful people that I’ll stay in touch with from both tours. There’s also time to explore Hanoi and see the famous sights. If you’re debating whether to come, book it!
