“Another region to explore”
I was for a week in Hanoi, so I booked this tour. Two days would not be enough to see everything, but I visited Cat Cat village and Fansipan (with the cable car). I enjoyed this trip very much as I have seen how the H'Mong people live and look like. The people are ver6 nice. The Golden Villa Hotel has a lot of food (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Fansipan is a very nice funpark to go and make beautiful pictures of the temples and Buddha, also the sky when it is blue. I saw the rice terraced fields as I always have wanted to see!!!! Great tour
“Great cruise day tour”
Ha Long Bay: you need to see this when you are in (Northen) Vietnam. Beautiful view of limestones and caves. The Sung Sot cave is amazing. The boat, the crew and the vibe were really good to have a nice vacation. There is a lot of walking here. I have never heard of Titop Island before, but you can go swimming or trekking to above to see the view over the bay and boats. The weather was perfect. I wish the cruise company good luck with their business, because they are doing great with their service and food!

Vietnam is an amazing country ! There are so many things to do, alot of beautiful places still waiting for your coming ! Have a nice weekend! Thanks
“Great tour of Hanoi's history”
I joined this group tour with mister Anh and driver Minh. The guide shows the cultural and historical places such as the Tran Quoc pagoda and the Temple of Literature. I have enjoyed this tour because it shows Hanoi still has the traditional way of living and the education that matches with the history. I listened to Vietnamese and English.
