I did the day tour with Thang as my tour guide. He was excellent. The trip gives a great sample of the Mekong delta, and you learn about the region as well as sample the food.

Would highly recommend this trip.

Cruise trip in Halong was fantastic. It was a beautiful trip with amazing sites to see and adventures to explore. Even though it was a little touristy, I would book the 3 days 2 nights next time. You’ll need more time around to explain the beauty of the sites.

The cruise organizer is amazing and helps with everything when it’s not part of the package. He goes out of his way to help you achieve your dream trip.

Hoian ancient town is welcoming and friendly. The streets are lined with colorful lanterns and buildings that are full of cultural charm. It’s the perfect place to relax and take in the sights and sounds of Vietnam. The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is incredibly laid-back and relaxing. The food is delicious, and the night markets are a great place to pick up souvenirs and handmade goods.

If you’re looking for a place to get away from it all, Hoi An Ancient Town is the perfect destination. It’s like stepping back in time and discovering a hidden gem.
