I am very interested in this itinerary, but I have questions about accommodations. We prefer an above-average hotel in Old Hanoi Quarter, and also an above-average room for our Halong Bay cruise with a private balcony. Also, my friend is a pescatarian (no red meat or chicken), but I have no diet restrictions. Please get back to me soon. Thank you.

Rosie Nhung arranged a wonderful six days of northern Vietnam. Every step was smooth from the first days of booking to the last tour stop. Rosie was responsive to my requests and made me feel welcome and at ease with the travel. Definitely would recommend!
We booked a 6-day tour to travel North Vietnam, including Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Sapa - Halong Bay. My consultant - Ms. Tansy, was excellent. During 3 weeks before our trip, she responded to all emails with information on COVID, visas, vegetarian restaurants, etc., and our journey in Vietnam went smoothly.… More We booked a 6-day tour to travel North Vietnam, including Hanoi - Ninh Binh - Sapa - Halong Bay.

Our tour guide in Sapa, Mr. Tom was fantastic and really informed. The only advice is to take a shuttle bus instead of a sleeper bus to Sapa; it would be more comfortable. Less
Our trip to North Vietnam was incredible. We selected this 6-day tour package that included airport transfers, accommodation, tours, and some meals at best possible pricing. Also, we ordered to be customized 2 more days to explore on our own. Ms. Tansy was in charge of our booking, and we appreciate… More Our trip to North Vietnam was incredible.

She will react to our questions immediately and always sends a message to see how we are doing.
All the employees we met, from the hotels to the tour guides to the ship, were warm and welcoming. I must compliment Ms. Na at the Tirant Hotel; she is extremely friendly and helpful. We had a similar experience with our tour guides. Less
The tour was interesting, it included many activities. I really enjoyed the trekking time in Sapa. The route was easy enough and I saw a lot of amazing things about the ethnic culture here. Halong Bay was gorgeous but the cabin on the cruise was quite small, but the services were excellent, the cruise staff was so nice and our cabin was clean and comfortable.
Omg!! Everything is fantastic so far!! I had no idea we were coming into a national holiday!! There is so much to see and do here!! Thank you!!!
