North East Vietnam

Review of: Hanoi - Ba Be Lake - Halong Bay 6 days 5 nights

A great holiday in north east Vietnam with Mr linhs advertures. We had a party of 4 and a private tour with Vui Tri Nha as our personal guide and driver was Mr luang.
I did a lot of research and put together the places we wanted to vist and was well rewarded with a reasonable price and an excellent tour.

North east Vietnam runs a lot of the time along the Chinese border and we really felt like we saw some fantastic places with very authentic villagers. We only saw about 6 other travellers in the entire 6 days till we got to Halong Bay. So if you want to get away from the tourist hoards this is the area to get to that still retains some traditional ways of living along with entirely different scenery
Scenery was beautiful, stunning and very photogenic. Villages very friendly and lovely to see their way of life

I highly recommend this tour with our guide and the driver, so full of amazing facts and very very helpful, nothing went wrong and we thoroughly recommend the tour.

Date of experience: 4 2023
