  This was such an efficient and well organized tour! it was unbelievable how good it was. We booked the tour about 2 months in advance prior to our arrival in Vietnam and our tour operator from Up Travel named Hannah provided us support 24/7 from the start. She provided us with all the details required and organized everything we needed by providing us options from hotels to airport pick up etc She was very knowledgeable about every tour and knew if all of our movements by communicating with the tour guides. Every night a tour guide would message us on what's app and provided us with the pick up times etc in addition to Hannah. The tours themselves were pretty awesome with everything you need provided from meals to water bottles. Up Travel has a good group of tour guides on their books. Everything was so fantastic and organized with all of our requirements addressed. Hannah is your personal concierge for however long your tour is for. This is a brilliant service and it's all done remotely. They should implement their tours and services worldwide. Hannah was more than just a rep from a tour operator, she was dependable, proactive and very caring. EXCELLENT experience and they will exceed your expectations.. 11/10 rating. Loved it and will recommend them to everyone we know. With much appreciation from Nelson and Mary. 😊

  This tour was actually a combination of a few smaller tours combined. Each segment I found myself with different people. Initially I was uncertain if I’d made a wise decision as on the first scheduled day of activities, nobody came to pick me up from the hotel. Eventually a lady came and explained/apologised for the situation. The bus had gone without me, traffic problems etc. I was offered some cash to help compensate. Luckily for me I had a free day at the end which I was able to substitute for the initial missed day, so it all worked out. The man in charge (who I’d met the day before)was extremely apologetic & very good with communication at all times....especially when I got nervous about future pick ups! The hotel was a good base to come back to each time in between the overnight trips to Halong Bay & Sapa. Staff here were friendly & looked after luggage while I was away overnight. The boat was quite old looking, but seemed to be the case for most on the bay. It was safe though, food really good & great activities while on this segment of trip. Not too much space around the bed itself to move around. The home stay with the tribal people is very basic and may not be suitable for everyone. If you’re young, energetic & keen to see the simpler side of life then definitely go for it. It is very basic though. Cement floor, hard bed but has a mosquito net & there’s a lightbulb dangling freely from roof. To access the shower you needed to walk down a narrow sloping track which becomes very slippery after the rain. Leaving the place the following day I also nearly slipped down the trails which had become dangerously slick due to heavy rain overnight. The family though are kind & you’ll be fed well. Amazing considering the rudimentary kitchen!! The various guides throughout the different segments of the trip were all very friendly & mostly quite good with their English language skills. In summary I’d say it was good value for money, I’d recommend the trip (despite my initial concerns & the muddle up at the beginning) but suggest that for slightly older travellers (like myself) or those wanting a little more comfort, you should probably consider upgrading to something a bit more luxurious.
