Amazing 15N/16D tour with the team from Mr. Linh's
Review of: Northern Vietnam’s Remote Peaks 15 days 14 nights
We planned and enjoyed ourselves a 15N/16D customized trip of Northern Vietnam with Mr Linh's Adventures, thanks first to the great collaboration with Helen, the travel consultant. We were fortunate to get Mr. Hai as our tour guide, and Mr. Long as our driver. We were very safe in Mr. Long's amazing driving skills in Hanoi and throughout the country side, and he kept the vehicle cleaned and cool for us all through the trip. Mr. Hai was very patient, flexible and funny guide who a...Read Morelways tried his best to explain, answer questions and provide best route and guidance through his extensive knowledge of Vietnam. The guide worked closely with Helen from office base to help make it an amazing trip for us, while dodging both Typhoon Bualoi and Typhoon Matmo. They took the initiative to change the accommodations and itinerary to minimize the impacts of those 2 events, and thar allowed us to enjoy Ninh Binh and the Halong Bay Cruise earlier than previously scheduled. While we did not do Ha Giang and Cao Bang, due to the floods and landslides, we were offered Moc Chau and Mai Chau areas where we enjoyed other attractions where we were not even aware of, but glad we did it. So while nature did change our itinerary, we got to see Northern Vietnam pretty comprehensively thanks to the travel consultants Helen and Mr Hai's constant monitoring of the situation. Communication at pre-planning, payment and continued collaboration with Mr. Linh's team was a breeze and made this trip amazing. Thank you to the team from Mr Linh's Adventures. Read Less
