Vietnam Luxury Tour Review: Hoi An, Ninh Binh, Saigon, Sapa, Hiking, Motorbiking, Local Cuisine, Cruise, 16-Day Trip

My son and I both enjoyed the trip, which had been planned in conjunction with this travel company. I thought that Mr Vinh did an excellent job interacting with me while he was preparing the proposal. The three guides, the drivers, the activities and experiences met or exceeded our expectations, which had been based on the proposal. The hotels were all good except for the hotel in Hong Ngu. This hotel was poorly run and stuck out like a sore thumb considering the quality of all the ones we stayed in up to that point. The hotel in Hong Ngu was dirty, had an unsafe and poorly managed gym, had slow internet and provided no breakfast.
Several of the hotels and places we stayed were outstanding, including the one in Sapa and Ninh Binh. The cruise was top-notch with excellent decor (I especially enjoyed the paintings by Pham Luc), the staff (special shout out to the assistant cruise director - I predict she will soon be made a cruise director) and the food. The hotel in Hoi An (unfortunately, I do not remember the name of this hotel) and the hotel in Saigon were excellent and had some of the finest breakfasts on the entire trip.
