My buddy suggested calling Best Price Travel and organizing my vacation via sales director - Hien Kim, who truly goes above and beyond what you need.

The excursion to Ninh Binh began with a hotel pickup; along way, we stopped at an art shop that piqued my interest. We went to Bai Dinh after arriving in Ninh Binh. I could have spent days wandering around this location. The halls and Pagodas are amazing, with hundreds of Lohans dressed throughout the hallways. To say the least, the site is vast and beautiful.
We then went to Trang An in the highlands for a buffet dinner. Then we went to the rivers in Trang Anh for a rowing boat journey that took us around the majestic mountains and through various caves. A absolutely unforgettable experience.
We next went to Mua Cave, which is located beneath a mountain and has 500 stairs that have just been constructed so that you can trek to the summit observation point or halt at the first view point midway.
The return trip was quick, with the driver putting us off at a restaurant rather than our hotel at our choice. I strongly advise booking via best cheap travel. As someone who resides in Vietnam, I can attest to their reputation and dependability. Less
Trip was great with Bestprice travel. Our agent Rosie was very helpful with the trip arrangement, and the guides accompanying us on our trip were mostly good and attentive to the guests needs.. thank you for the hospitality..
We are Australian - 34 and 37yo couple.
This trip is amazing! We highly recommend it!! Thank you so much to Tansy for organising, we have enjoyed it so much!! All the guides are wonderful - thank you Lucy, Jenny, May and Lala. Everything ran on time and all guides were so helpful.

The accomodation is great,the day trips are awesome and you get the opportunity to see some spectacular sights with added free time to explore and relax. Vietnam in general - service is great, food is incredible, hotel staff are very helpful.
Whilst it is a group tour - it is different people joining each day so you are not stuck with the same people the whole time, which we enjoyed.
Highly recommend going on the cable car in sapa (not included in the tour) - the ride and the view are spectacular!
Tips:
Day 1: take something to cover your legs when visiting the pagodas
Day 2: The walk up to the top of the mountain is extra $ - but do it, it’s worth it! It’s a tough walk (480 steps) and you need a good level of fitness (the view is worth it). The mini hotel is basic but you are only there for a shower so it is fine. The overnight train is better than expected even in a shared berth. The train is comfortable, has wifi and power - we slept pretty much the whole way.
Day 3: cat cat trek is about 10km and a good level of fitness and agility is required. some uneven terrain. Sapa is cold at night so warm clothes required.
Day 4: the trek is about 12km. Lots of uneven terrain. Good level of fitness and agility required. We opted to catch a taxi back to the hotel after lunch to enjoy the infinity pool as we had done a lot of walking the day before. The ride back to Hanoi is comfortable (wifi, power and reclining seats). Public shower at the hotel is fine.
Day 5: the cruise is amazing!! We were lucky enough to be upgraded. The boat is incredible. Bath in your room, jacuzzi on the deck, great food, amazing views, awesome activities, perfect service - wonderful way to end the trip.

We had a lovely week in Northern Vietnam thanks to the great activities, excellent tour guides, and Rosie - our organizer, who went above and beyond to accommodate our particular requirements.
Tansy did an amazing job organising a 6 day tour of Hanoi/Ninh Binh/Sapa and Halong Bay. The connections between our trips went on smoothly and overall most of our tours went without a problem. All our tour guides were very knowledgeable. Even when we did get a small issue with our trip, Tansy was immediately… More Tansy did an amazing job organising a 6 day tour of Hanoi/Ninh Binh/Sapa and Halong Bay. The connections between our trips went on smoothly and overall most of our tours went without a problem. All our tour guides were very knowledgeable. Even when we did get a small issue with our trip, Tansy was immediately available via whatapp, and was able to provide us with a refund the next day. In addition, Tansy was considerate enough to provide us with reusable water bottles during the trip, as single use plastics are not allowed at Halong bay. Overall I would definitely recommend this company to family and friends. Less
