Enchanted stay and agency at the top

5.00I spent 3 days and 2 idyllic nights. The services were of high quality (boat, hotel, food) and the program well thought out to allow us to see the essentials in a short time but without the impression of speeder. I particularly loved the kayaking activity in Halong Bay and the sampan ride in Tam Coc. I traveled alone. The manager of the agency (Mr NGUYEN) was, to my surprise, at the small care to make my stay memorable by providing me with the most beautiful rooms, answering the least of my questions by whatsapp and above all by having readjusted the program, last minute and tailor-made, to allow me not to miss my domestic flight that I had to take at the end of the excursion and whose departure time had been brought forward. I did not expect so much professionalism, honesty, helpfulness and kindness from a tour company. I will book again with pleasure and without hesitation with VTL if I have the chance to return to Vietnam.

5.00I highly recommend this tour! I really enjoyed the experience of sitting on a bamboo boat in Trang An the boatmen were incredibly skilled, and some even rowed with their feet! π«’ The lodge in Ninhbinh was beautiful and peaceful, friendly and kind staff. The Ha Long cruise was also amazing, though a bit crowded. Overall, I loved this trip. Totally worth the price ππ»

5.00This trip was a dream come true for me. We traveled halfway across the world to make it happen. The ecolodge in Ninh Binh was perfect, and the view from my room on the boat was breathtaking, I love it π The food was amazing, and the tour guide, along with the whole team was incredibly friendly and kind. They took great care of us throughout the trip and guided us on how should we do. The only downside was that Ha Long Bay had too many boats. Vietnam should consider limiting the number of boats to preserve this beautiful destination before itβs too late. I want to say thank you to the VTL team and especially to Linh. She helped me call a taxi from the center to the airport and didnβt even accept any money for it π I truly appreciate it and will definitely come back to book the Ha Giang Loop with them at the end of this year. Canβt waitt!!!
