Sarina Ronda –
The tour is absolutely stunning, with the highlights being the short bicycle ride and the boat trip. Very, very scenic with plenty of photo spots. Even the buffet lunch was very good quality, which is hard to find on a group tour like this.
My tour guide, Happy, was especially upbeat, hospitable, and wonderful. At the end of the trip, I left a small item behind on the tour bus by accident, and I only found out when I left Hanoi. Happy was very kind to send the item on short notice to a place convenient for me to pick it up later. I don’t think it gets much better than this. Definitely a tour worth doing!
