Sarah organized 2 weeks of personalized trip to my 2 grand children and myself. We wanted to go to the areas of Sapa, Ninh Binh, Halong, Hue. Sarah managed for us all the private transfers between the different places, hotel reservations, guide reservations. Everything was perfectly articulated. I really enjoyed having no mental burden during this trip and being able to rely entirely on Sarah’s millimetered organization. She was always available to answer our questions and expectations. You can trust Vietnam Travel Lotus to organize a personalized and serene trip.

Vietnam Travel Lotus actually arranged the cruise with Venezia cruise - a well known local company with very excellent reviews. Everything was great! Pictures represent well the boat. The food was OK. We had plenty. Activities were great. Vietnam Travel Lorus arranged the transport to Cat Ba via Good morning Cat Ba. They were really organized. All of our questions were answered rapidly. We had a very small groupe (6-11 people).

The tour was perfectly organised, as for aok the other excursions Sarah organised for us. Pick up at the hotel, transportation and boarding on the small boat. We had a nice 10 passengers boat. We had a peaceful Cruise on the An Lah bay, some stops for canoing, sleeping on board, biking trough an eco village. What we appreciated a lot with Sarah’s agency is that you never feel lost: she is beside you by WhatsApp at any moment you need her for a question. I highly recommend to use Vietnam travel lotus agency for any of your excursions

I have booked a Halong bay cruise with Sarah, I’m was running late and I missed the cruise. Sarah organised a private transportation via a small boat to catch the cruise in the middle of waters. I didn’t expect them to do that but they did an absolute fantastic job. And the 2 days I spent on that cruise was the best time I have spent in the whole Vietnam trip. The whole crew, especially Sarah, they put great efforts to make it an impeccable experience for all the passengers on cruise. Thank you Sarah for everything, highly recommended 👌

Very nicely organized. The host and organizer Sara was impeccable with everything. The whole ha long bay tour was the highlight of my Vietnam visit thanks to Vietnam travel lotus and Sara. Would definitely recommend to everyone I travelled with my mom and both of us loved the ha long bay tour.

We had an incredible cruise during our annual trip to Vietnam. our hostess Sarah took care of us upon our arrival at the airport, hotel, cruise then returns to Hanoi. The landscape of Ha Long Bay is magnificent, and the caving trip. very original and surprising canoe trip, as well as the bike ride to Cat Ba. On the boat the spaces are spacious and very comfortable, the food delicious and the staff attentive and considerate. In summary, an unforgettable maritime detour that I recommend to everyone.
