“Overall disappointed with the experience. The reviews mentioned Dan as a highlight of the trip, yet we never met him. Cruise itself - nice room (asked for two beds and they accommodated) but hot water didn’t work in tub. Also quite noisy being near the kitchen. Frustratingly, they started playing music at 6AM which made it impossible to fall back asleep. Excursions - worst part of trip. Sights themselves are pretty cool, but they are so unbelievably crowded that it makes it impossible to enjoy. You are also not with a tour guide like many reviews say. Food - highlight. Good buffet for lunch, solid 5 course dinner (nothing too…”

“I really liked how well organised whole trip was. We were passed from person to person. No chance you will be confused or lost. Best experience i’ve had so far.”

“Highly recommend Mon Cheri for their 3 day/2 night Halong Bay cruise; my partner and I wish we could have stayed even longer! The area is stunningly beautiful and the staff was super nice, especially Tam and Ryann. We participated in Read more”

“It was a great experience, meeting lots of new people from different countries and the drivers (who were great fun). We stayed for 3 days, enjoyed every minute!”

“We had Frank as our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the area and very fun to be around. The ride itself was great! The drivers were very good and friendly. Each booking got their own room, but there wasn't much privacy between rooms (very little sound insulation). Still a great experience!”

“Wow that was one of the best things I did in Vietnam. The group was amazing, the drivers were professional and kind. They helped with everything, at night we all played and sang, amazing atmosphere, recommend to everyone. I want to say a special thank you to my driver Ken who really made me trust him and fill safe.”

“Our guide Ku was wonderful, we really enjoyed her commentary about local life. The accommodations were good, the scenery was beautiful and the swim at the waterfall was totally awesome. The only reason for 4 stars were the very aggressive local women trying to sell you things. They insisted in "helping" along the trail and then applied heavy guilt trips if you didn't buy from every single "helper" ( we bought one expensive thing from one woman and a couple of little things but then said no to the others). It really spoiled the experience of interacting with the locals.”

“It was one of the best things I've ever done, and a must-do if you're in Vietnam. I'm glad I had my International Drivers License and I could ride alone, but the people that had an easy rider loved it just as much. Our guides did a fantastic job of taking care of us and showRead more”

“Disappointing. We booked through odyssey as they had great reviews. Our trip was actually operated by a company called lotus and they were poor. The company were unaware of our booking so never received confirmation of booking. Tried 3times to get hold of the tRead more”

“Amazing views of the landscape in North Vietnamese with some of the most breathtaking mountain views I’ve seen. The tour guide/my driver (Minh-Mikel) and all the drivers are very friendly and accommodating, supplying drinking water and Read more”

“A great 2 night. Lots of activities, great food and plenty of it. The views are stunning. The staff are amazing. A shout out to Lucien aka as Michael McIntyre”

“excellent tour, wonderful boat. excellent food ! worth the rather high price.... just wish they could clean out all the rubbish that floats around the bay.”

“A beautiful misty stay, loved trekking between all the villages and learning about the culture and history from our excellent guide Khu. Even when visibility was low, she brought the surroundings to life and answered all of our curious questions and was great company. The homestay itself was cosy and we liked getting to know our hosts and fellow guests.”

“The most amazing experience! Must do if visiting Vietnam! The whole team were incredible and made us feel like part of their family for our trip. Felt very very safe the whole time and was taken to some areas that other tours didn't seem to stop at. Special thank you to Bear and Hoc (our drivers!)”

“The staff are wonderful but a few issues people need to be aware of:”
