    Huyen Travel put together day trips to Halong Bay and Ning Binh, plus plane tickets to HCMC. The day trips far exceeded expectations. Highly recommended.

    Definitely a must visit if you love observatory decks :) And down below in the Mall there is a Mart that you can shop at afterwards for souvenirs and groceries.

    Huge, beautiful park with a lot of neat stuff to explore. We didn't have a whole lot of time to spend--we climbed up to Bao Thien Tower and (practically next to it) the Ho Chi Mihn Temple. After we came down we checked out the ruins of the French stone church. So all together, we were there for a few hours.

    The climb up the big hill to the tower and temple involved many, many stairs. But you are in the shade the whole time! Still, if you have mobility issues or you hate stairs, this one might not be for you. But it was really great once you reach the top! There are other people on the path with you, and there are plenty of benches and other places to stop and rest if you want to. I recommend bringing water.

    The park is full of beautiful flowers. Everything is so lush and green, and you hear constant bird song. For the record, we did NOT use our bug spray, and we had not trouble. No bug bites.

    The park is a 90 minute drive (60 km) west of Hanoi. We booked a driver with Golden Holiday Travel. He met us in the lobby of our hotel and took us straight there--no difficulty at all. Cost was $75.

    Admission cost: 60000 VND ($3) per person. I think your driver is free. There is a ticket booth right at the entrance to the park. Our driver stopped---we ran over and bought tickets. Super easy.

    I really love the staff and Sapa. It's really nice and helpful staff here. We made a trip to Sapa, Vietnam. That's a really amazing one that we had. I will recommend Travelogy to all my friends on the world.

    Rented a Honda Wave semi-automatic from James for 2 months from Hanoi to HCM. I needed extra days and it was not a problem at all. Easy to return to his friend in HCM. Good English communication and easy to deal with James. Gave me a brand new helmet. Good rack and rubber band. Few things to fix before we hit the road and he fixed all. Also the best price in Hanoi we could get and open to negotiation. Always respond quickly when you message him. Bike well maintained, never had one issue with it in 5000km. It was sad to say goodbye to my bike.

    We went on a four day/three night tour with Tuan and Phong and it was simply amazing. We always felt very safe with them on their bikes and also enjoyed the fact that we didn't always follow the crowds and had some amazing spots just to ourselves. The restaurants and homestay we ate/stayed at were incredible - we didn't expect such good food and amazing accommodation. Even though we were a bit unlucky with the weather (the first two days we only saw fog instead of nice views;-)) Tuan and Phong made the best out of the situation and we had a wonderful time nevertheless. Definite recommendation from us!

    Feedback from a former Game Master

    I worked at Miss Terry around May 2021, and it's still one of the best experiences for me as a Game Master, and as an employee in general. Though the time was short, the memories still linger and are treasured within my heart. It was one of those times I ever felt cared for, and that I was learning something amazing.

    Wish you guys all the best. Hope that we will see each other one day soon.

    Phung Motor Bike Rental in Hanoi exceeded my expectations! From superb customer service to a reliable Honda XR 150, every aspect was top-notch. Phung’s responsiveness on WhatsApp, fluent English, and expert advice made the rental process seamless. The bike itself ran flawlessly for over 1000 km, making my journey through Vietnam’s north a joy. I’ll definitely be returning for my next adventure!

    My partner and I went today, admittedly we only picked this venue as the other higher rated one wasn't accepting foreigners due to the corona virus, however, we actually really enjoyed the room. We didn't pre-book before we came but they were still able to accommodate us and the room we wanted. We were able to put our belongings in a locker and the price was 240,000 each for the 2 of us. Pretty reasonable price compared to some we've done previously. We did the casino/red dragon pub room. It was rated 4/5 difficulty and we chose 'easy' which gave us 3 clues.
    The puzzles were nice and varied and it was all pretty clever. At times the staff were a bit slow getting to us when we needed a clue which did waste a bit of time, you ask for help by making an X with your arms towards the camera, not the most time efficient way but he did come and help us.
    We did get stuck for a while in the last room because the automatic door shut behind us which meant we couldn't access things we needed from other rooms.. it took a bit of time to get his attention to come and rescue us but he was generous and gave us an extra 15mins to make up for it.
    The final puzzle absolutely made zero sense for this room so we needed help with it, even with the explanation we still don't think anyone would work it out.
    It was a fun way to spend the morning. It's definitely not the best production we've ever done but it's pretty good. We would happily go back and attempt the other rooms if we had the time.

    I recently had the privilege of traveling to Vietnam with my family, and our guide, Anh, is a gem who turned our ordinary trip into an amazing one.

    Throughout our journey, Anh's warm and friendly demeanor made us feel like we were traveling with a friend. He was always ready with a smile, eager to answer questions, and went the extra mile to ensure our comfort and satisfaction.

    His expertise and recommendations made our travels seamless and stress-free while navigating the bustling streets of Hanoi, and experiencing the beauty of Cat Ba and Ninh Binh.

    The tour was amazing, everything was well organized, the big boat was very comfortable and we had so much fun eating, partying and enjoying the jacuzzis! And of course we enjoyed beautiful Ha Long Bay. Our guide Ken and the whole crew were so great, they made the tour unforgettable.

    Lily Travels was the agency through which we did all of our hotel bookings and airport transfers as well as the full tour to Ha Long Bay during our 24 days trip to Vietnam. We were two couples and we were very satisfied with the services provided by Lily. We would without any hesitation rate them as Excellent. Other than an initial hick-up Lily's services went beyond our expectations with personalized coordinators on-call round the clock that provided the extra degree of comfort. I would highly recommend Lily Travels to any visitor to Vietnam.
