“Ninh Binh was the highlight for me. The first day was a pretty rushed guided tour, but the second day was a chance to rent a moped from the hotel and explore. I’m very happy that I had that extra day at my own pace. The hotel in Ninh Binh was also very nice. The cruise in Ha Long Bay was also fun and the food was good. I think 1 day is probably enough, though it would be fun to go to more remote places. Day 1: transport to Ninh Binh with guided tour as part of a group Day 2: on your own to explore Day 3: transport…”

“I would get the travel agency to provide the correct itinerary for the option I chose. That caused the most confusion. They resolved it and the trip was fantastic but as a solo traveller, when I get my confirmed itinerary, I follow that. oth Also, a little more variety for the dinners. Food was good, I love chicken tagine - but 3 nights in a row... it becomes repetitive. Otherwise- it was very good!”
