"Three of the most picturesque places I have ever seen"

Reviewed On: Jan 05, 2016

To have one area of the most amazing scenery you have ever seen on a vacation will always make it a special time. To have two, is just too much to ask for. But to get THREE, is simply beyond belief. But this trip in Northern Vietnam will give you exactly that. Just as I had gotten used to the idea that Sapa was truly one of the greatest experiences I have ever had, we were whisked over to Halong Bay and I got to experience exactly the same emotions all over again. Then as if to almost give you a scenic overload they took the tour group to Ninh Binh. This is sometimes called Halong Bay in the Rice Fields and it’s not hard to figure why. I have never seen anywhere as beautiful as Vietnam, what an amazing trip

"Great time"

Reviewed On: Jan 28, 2016

Happy new year and all the best! We had a great time with family during holidays and are now back to work. Thanks for all your support and help during our trip. Everything happened according to plan and we were very pleased with your services. The guides, transfers and meals were all very good and our feedback is quite positive. We liked Trekking Ha giang so much that there is a chance we want to go again in the future to visit other places: Indonesia, Myanmar and even repeat some of Thailand beaches. We will let you know in the future in case we decide something. Best regards, Andre Rezende
