Review for: From Hanoi: 4-Day Lan Ha Bay Cruise & Ninh Binh UNESCO Heritage Tour

An extremely fulfilling and enriching tour experience. The first two days in Ninh Binh were fantastic, visiting attractions that would be very difficult to reach on your own. Local prices are also more affordable than in Hanoi. Goat meat is a local specialty that you should definitely try, and the local night market at the ancient capital of Hoa Lu recommended by our tour guide was full of vibrant local life, with many families out strolling and a beautiful lantern festival! The Halong Bay cruise goes without saying—it was even more comfortable and high-end than in the photos. Being able to watch the sunset and sunrise out on the water was totally worth it, and the quality of the food was also very good. The vast majority of my travel companions were Westerners or from India, and everyone was generally very easy to get along with. It was also a great way to practice speaking English, haha!

Review for: From Hanoi: 4-Day Lan Ha Bay Cruise & Ninh Binh UNESCO Heritage Tour

Before booking this tour, I checked a few other platforms with similar itineraries, but finally chose Klook because the price was about 10% cheaper. At first I was a bit worried that the lower price might mean lower service quality, but after finishing the trip, I can say everything was really great. The support team was very helpful from the beginning until the end of the tour, always checking if I needed anything. The whole trip was well organized and beyond my expectations. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a highly recommended tour. It's well-paced, with no pressure to shop, detailed explanations from the guide, and an opportunity to learn about the local culture. Customer service is also readily available to handle any issues. I highly suggest taking this tour when you visit Vietnam

Very well organized tour. We had a great time. It would be good if you can include Sapa as well and make it 5 day trip.

Review for: From Hanoi: 4-Day Lan Ha Bay Cruise & Ninh Binh UNESCO Heritage Tour

The Ha Long Bay cruise felt too short. Although advertised as “2D1N,” it lasted under 24 hours and had a tightly packed itinerary. Swimming was also unpleasant because the water was dirty. I was concerned by the pollution from the many cruise boats, including exhaust fumes and plastic waste. Ha Long Bay feels severely overtouristed and unsustainable. Overall, I enjoyed Ninh Binh but would not recommend the Ha Long Bay cruise.
