Hanoi,Sapa & Halong - I recently enjoyed a 6-day trip to Hanoi, Sapa, and Halong Bay, and it was an overall fantastic experience. The stay and food were excellent, with a delightful mix of local dishes and a seafood buffet on the first night that set a great tone for the journey. The highlight was undoubtedly the private cruise on Halong Bay, which included a visit to a small island with a beautiful cave—absolutely breathtaking scenery. The trip to Sapa, while promising, was slightly disappointing due to the foggy conditions, which obscured much of the scenery. However, the experience was still enjoyable, thanks to a knowledgeable local guide and a comfortable chartered bus. The trek through the Sapa highlands was a bit challenging, but it added a sense of adventure to the trip. Despite the minor hiccups, the trip offered a perfect blend of culture, nature, and relaxation, and I'd highly recommend it.

Rough Guides: Unique Travel Experience in Vietnam with BC Family Tour Experts - We spent 5 amazing days in Northern Vietnam, and we had to change our plane tickets to stay 4 more days because we had never had such an amazing experience before. We had a great experience in the world natural wonders of Halong Bay and Ninh Binh. In Sapa we hiked a beautiful path and booked another hiking tour to the top of Fansipan and took the cable car back to Sapa town. The homestay in Sapa was a wonderful place to better understand the unique culture here. In Hanoi, we participated in a city tour and food tour with street food experience... Too many things we want to tell you and our friends. We discovered the travel experts at BC Family Tour through the popular travel guide Rough Guides. Sam and Daisy have designed a unique and wonderful experience program for us! Thank you to all of you. If anyone would like to contact them you can send an email or via WhatsApp: +84886559609 We plan to return to Vietnam. See you soon !

practical information - Hanoi airport: no train to reach Hanoi cost of a taxi; around ten euros, double if you book a taxi with your hotel. in time: variable of course depending on the time but allow around 40 minutes money to keep it simple and easy to navigate; 100,000 vnd = 4 eur (in fact, a little less...), this makes it easy to find the equivalence in eur meal traditional soup (pho ga -chicken) around 50,000 vnd (around 2 eur) ditto the egg coffee (so good) dishes cost between 50,000 and 100,000 vnd (between 2 and 4 eur) beer (hanoi bier, very good light beer): around 25,000 vnd in street restaurants; you can consume without drinking taste the bun cha visits Vietnamese women's museum (very interesting): entry 30,000 vnd + audio guide in French 50,000 vnd. The visit can be done without this audio guide because the explanations are written in French...but given the price, take the audio guide literature museum: entry 30,000 vnd bike taxi: variable cost depending on destination but count around 300,000 vnd crossing a road on foot is a bit of gymnastics but you get used to it quickly: and we haven't seen any accidents. The green light for pedestrians is not a guarantee of absolute safety... motorcycles burn the lights, sometimes, motorcycles are going in the wrong direction, so be careful to look carefully to the left and right... but like us as a hotelier said: the rule for crossing is not to hesitate!! and you will see, it goes very well. Especially since paradoxically, the Vietnamese drive rather carefully!! excursions: we chose the Hanoi Voyages agency which provided very good advice and who checked in with us regularly via WhatsApp. hotel ; If you like hotels with great comfort, choose to go to the following hotels: Hanoi: Siesta Hang be (very close to Hoan Kiem Lake and the Méritel Hotel Tam Coc (Nihn Binh, Ha Long Bay) the tam coc garden Sa pa: the Sa pa horizon hotel Ha Long Bay: private junk 3 days 2 nights: we went through the company Indochina.junk: very good tipping: always a delicate point...our travel agency recommended that we give between 2 and 4 eur/day to the driver and between 4 and 8 eur for the guide... for hotel employees: between 5,000 and 10,000 vnd (0.20 eur to 0.4 eur) no tipping in street food restaurants

Two girls six days and five nights: Hanoi, Lagoon Bay - It was the first time through TripAdvisor to customize a trip, and tell them what they wanted to do (including what they wanted to stay on the Khao Long Bay ferry, what they wanted to do to the destination), they would directly arrange a six-day five-night trip to show us, clearly write out which meal was packed, and then we both communicated, I and my friends had a very happy and happy 15 years! Forever unforgettable! The prior communication is with the Daisyra group a question and an answer, the response to the message is fast, there are questions and answers, and the solution will also be provided. During the journey, there was also a local guide Sam in the group answering our questions, and warmly recommending local food as well as places to shop, basically a very peaceful trip. The last part of the recommendation, the part of the tour description is generally perfect, if you can get more details to make the traveler feel more safe, for example: We can let us know what the journey is on the Lagoon Bay cruise, we better prepare clothes; the car transfer may be more clearly informed (the car from Sabé to Hanoi, we do not know clearly whether it is a bus or a sleeping bus, it took some time to confirm) However, the above are the bones picked in the eggs, and also because of the small uncertainty, let me and my friends have small surprises throughout the trip, we had a lot of fun - - the price is reasonable! I highly recommend you and TripAdvisor to customize the trip to North Vietnam.

Play! Six-Day Tour to Hanoi Bay - TripAdvisor Daisy and Sam can customize our trips, including 1. Compatible with the hotel we want to stay, find the sleeping bus we want to sleep 2. Sapa's tour guide warmly welcomed us, saw the school in the village, ate the usual cuisine of the Negro-Latin family, let us experience traditional Negro-Latin clothing, a memorable memory of my life 3.Sam will always care about us, help us arrange the hotel to leave luggage, so we can easily shop, eat Three of them have not communicated clearly in advance, but are harmless. 1. The car from Sapa to Hanoi, we thought it was also a sleeping bus (like following from Hanoi to Sapa), and the result was a babysitter (luxury van) 2. Take a little bit, we and a group of Spanish tourists, in the car also have their guide, originally looking at Google map driving 5 hours ~ 6 hours can reach Hanoi city, but because in the middle of a shopping attraction, about 50 minutes, the arrival of Hanoi has been 9:00pm, a total of 8 hours open 3. In the trip of sapa trekking, to the home of the local tour guide, along the way says the walk is 30 minutes to arrive, but a total of almost 4 hours, it is recommended to inform in advance, the next time you want to go to the traveler can consider how long to walk, in accordance with physical strength whether to take a taxi The West Bank tour is very rich, we are only reserved for a morning to play, the time is more urgent, but it is also possible that we do not do our homework in advance, we should step up and grab the time

Amazing and Flawless - BC Family Tour organized an amazing custom vacation for me and my family of six. We were nervous since this was the first time we traveled from USA to Vietnam, but there were no hiccups from beginning to end. The tour guides were fluent in English and very knowledgeable. The hotels were convenient to everything. We really enjoyed seeing the beautiful scenes of Halong Bay and Ninh Binh and the flavors of Hanoi City. We highly recommend this tour package.

North Vietnam - Travelled with trip a deal around Vietnam Our guide Dat in the north was very informative and helpful. Weather wasn’t fantastic but out of his control! Loved the organisation, no fuss travelling plus the egg coffee was surprisingly great as was the cute restaurant in Hanoi. Also loved train street and the rickshaw ride. Sapa was interesting and very different. Halong Bay- unlucky with weather but still beautiful but a bit crowded

Halong bay cruise unlike the pictures posted - Halong cruise cabin did not look like the pictures posted. Window was way smaller as this company advertised the cabins on the second floor which were larger with bigger windows. Did not appreciate the false marketing around that. Otherwise the staff on the cruise did well with making sure we got to the stops with minimal crowds.
