We had the opportunity to visit Ninh Binh, the ancient capital, and learn so much about its rich history. The views during our boat ride on the river were simply breathtaking, and the bike ride was so much fun. All in all, it was a fantastic day filled with so many interesting activities. Additionally, we had a private car organized to travel to Ninh Binh and I have to say, it was definitely worth it. Our guide in Ninh Binh was fantastic, very nice and very informative! Less

The itinerary is just perfect for the 7 days package. Boat, train, river cruise, beautiful sceneries, simple villages life, vibrant and alive city of ‘motorbikes’ ( close our eyes and hope for the best while crossing xD) and most of all the excellent service from you, Dang Than, as well as Hung & Sung. Will definitely plan for another trip back and refer your tour agency to our friends & relatives.

It was very crowded with many boats and 100's of people on the river. The scenery was pretty but the crowds really took away any feeling of beauty or serenity.

The tour bus was 1/2 hour late pickjng us up and their was alot of standing around as we went from one place to another. Communication was not good and no one clearly understood what was happening. We were supposed to get back to Hanoi at 18:00. The tour description said nothing about cycling and hiking but we stopped to do it. I am writing this review now waiting for the hikers to come back. We will not be getting back to hotel until about 20:00. That is not fair for people that have plans. I am being generous giving this a one rating because the guide was very nice. Less

The luxury, range and quality of food, English speaking witty and friendly guide, punctuality everything was at its best. We were visibly among the best cruises on the sea. The exclusivity of the trip forced us to book our Mecong Delta river cruise trip from Ho Chi Minh also with BestPrice Travel. It was also pretty good.
Thanks @Alex for making our Vietnam trip so exclusive. I strongly recommend BestPrice for Halong Bay cruise trip. Less
Everything was great.
As I wrote you over wapp only negative experience was the drive between Ha Long and Ninh Binh.
The driver was always on the phone driving recklessly. A mother of 2 children on board complained with him asking him to focus on driving but he kept using his phone.
Even posting on FB while driving.
