First time in Hanoi and it was great! - I was communicating with Jane from Bestprice. Her response was fast and was able to meet my forever changes. Stayed at the old quarters and it was a great place to explore. Hope to have more time! Favourite was the Halong bay cruise. As it was a birthday celebration, the cruise crew were beyond expectations. They upgraded my room and did an elaborated birthday deco in room and dining. Be sure to ask about the different types of rooms in the hotels, as some didnt have any view, wall instead.

Must do experience - Amazing experience learning about the culture and breathtaking views just in front of your eyes. Booked late at night and Janet organised everything so quickly. Picked up in the morning by the tour guide Henry, funny, caring, friendly and knowledgeable about all the history of the places we went. Recommended to all my friends as is so much more value than the tour cost. Thank you 🙏 ♥️

Great experience - Minah the tour agent was very professional and very prompt in answering our queries. As a result, she knew exactly what we wanted to experience. We specifically requested for an experienced and good English speaking guide. She couldn’t have chosen a better one than Duy. 8 of us in the family thoroughly enjoyed the whole day program. Duy, the tour guide spoke excellent English and very knowledgeable and explained very clearly on all visited sites. We enjoyed the tour to King Le Palace and the river cruise with the beautiful landscape. All of us enjoyed the bicycle ride to the waterfall and riding through the scenic view of the countryside. He was very accommodating to even arranged to ride on a motorbike as my wife couldn’t ride a bicycle. I will highly recommend Minah from Bestprice and Duy if you are doing a tour in Hanoi.

Amazing experience - We organized our tour well in advance and Tony was very easy to deal with and his communication was regular and reliable. Alex was our tour guide and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.. he explained the history and was able to a see all of our questions.. he even warned us about common behaviors of the locals and how to best deal with them.. Alex was very polite, spoke great English and at all times made us feel safe. Alex and Mr Driver manage their time really well, arriving and finishing on time and at no time felt rushed or hurried.. thank you so much for making our day ad awesome as it was.. definitely a day to remember..

Excellent Tour - This tour was a great experience! Our tour guide Pham Quoc Anh was great! He was full of energy and exceeded expectations. He explained us about the country, its history and its culture, and he also helped us on other stuff like taking pictures, getting a SIM card or recommending good restaurants in Hanoi. The organization of the tour was good and the family that hosted us during lunch was charming. I hardly recommend the tour, although I must say that January is not the best time to enjoy the scenery due to the fog
