The best part of our trip to Vietnam was that! The itinerary, food, and facilities were all first-rate, and the personnel was outstanding. Even just experience visiting Halong in a day but every minute was incredible. My four, seven, and ten-year-old children were capable of hiking. When it came to mealtimes and the extremely limited variety of meals my 4-year-old would eat, the staff was accommodating. Best regard to Tinh and Tay, our lovely guides. You are really amazing! Less
