• 5Solid Choice for Ha Long Bay

  We had a wonderful 2-night, 2-day cruise in Ha Long Bay, and overall it was a truly memorable experience. The absolute highlight of this cruise was the team, led by the director Harry, who genuinely went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcome, comfortable, and well taken care of. You can clearly see how hard they work, always with smiles and a positive attitude. The ship itself is in good condition—clean, well maintained, and comfortable—though it’s not brand new, which didn’t take away from the experience at all. The food was good and satisfying (not over-the-top gourmet, but enjoyable and well prepared), and there was always enough variety to keep meals pleasant over the two days. Cruising through Ha Long Bay’s stunning scenery while being supported by such a dedicated and caring crew made this trip special. The service and hospitality truly stood out and are what make this cruise worth recommending. I would absolutely do this cruise again, mainly because of the fantastic team and the overall relaxed, enjoyable experience. If you’re looking for a well-run cruise with great people and beautiful views, this is a solid choice.

• 5Great 2 nights cruise.

  The staff and places we visited were wonderful. They went out of their way to make us feel part of their family. The cabins were very comfortable. The activities were varied and well balanced in time. We recommend this cruise.

• 5A wonderful way to discover one of the most beautiful places on earth!

  This trip was an absolute dream come true. Pick up from Hanoi was easy and we were handed over at the Port to our main guide, who took us over to the boat. The boat was beautiful, really good condition, with lots of public space where you could enjoy the amazing views. The food - especially for lunch and dinner, was exceptionally good and varied. Lunch would be a diverse, generous buffet and dinner a multi-course meal with delicious flavours. Be aware if you are traveling solo, you will be given a small individual table of your own at meal times. As an introvert, this suited me, but I think some people may feel a bit self-conscious about this, though of course you can make friends and team-up with others if you are sociable! My cabin was gorgeous - with huge window and little balcony, just as pictured. Also a wall window in the shower. Be aware, when the boat is anchored, local salespeople may row up to right by your window to try to sell local crafts... so your bedroom or shower may not be quite as private as you think - especially if you are on the lower level! The actual sites were incredible - I've never been surrounded by so much stunning beauty, 360 degrees. Mid March, I was lucky with very good weather, though I believe the week before, it had been all foggy. I had been worried it would be over-crowded, but most of the cruising, we had totally clear views or just one or two boats in the distance. At night, all the boats collect in one area, so it's a bit more crowded, and there was one island we visited which was extremely crowded, but mostly we had plenty space to enjoy the peace and quiet and the amazing views. The activities were extremely well organised. I'd say you could fit in the essentials with a one night tour, but the two nights gives you time to relax and visit more sites. Also gives you the better chance of getting a great weather day. We kayaked twice, had two swimming opportunities, visited three very different caves, and climbed to two different stunning view points, and visited some of the 'King Kong' rocks - along with the general cruising. Can recommend this without reservation...

• 5Amazing!!!

  🌟 Incredible Ha Giang Loop Experience with Lila Tours! 🌟 Just finished the Ha Giang Loop with Lila Tours, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Our guides were not only skilled and safe drivers but also incredibly friendly and fun, making the journey even more special. They took us to breathtaking off-the-beaten-path spots that most travelers never get to see, from hidden waterfalls to stunning mountain viewpoints. On top of that, they captured amazing photos for us along the way, so we could fully enjoy the moment without worrying about the camera. If you’re looking for the best way to experience Ha Giang, Lila Tours is the way to go! Highly recommend

• 1Not the best

  We stayed on Athena Luxury cruise and we can't say a bad word about the ship and staff. However, tour is advertised as being wheelchair friendly, which isn't the case at all. My partner has somewhat limited mobility and couldn't do most of the tours even though we were under the impression she would have been able to. Don't do unless very fit. 1st cave trip was in excess of 700 steps on very uneven ground

• 5Excellent! Well worth the price!

  I did the cruise with my wife and 5 year old daughter. We were picked up and dropped off in the old quarter of Hanoi. The cruise was excellent and just as advertised. The food was good and the activities a lot of fun. Drink prices on the boat were reasonable/normal restaurant rates. Water in the room is provided and the bottles can be refilled on the boat. The communication from the room pickup until the drop-off at the end was very good and well organized. The head tour guide Tom/Thang did an excellent job as did all the staff. They were very friendly and helpful, especially since we were traveling with a 5 year old. I recommend the add-on ride in a speedboat. The cruise isn't exactly cheap but very much worth the price. I worked in hotels for a number of years and the cost is very reasonable and good value!

About Hanoi

Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, mixes lakeside temples, French colonial boulevards and an Old Quarter where street food and scooters fill every lane.

The Old Quarter's narrow streets, each once devoted to a single trade, sit just north of Hoan Kiem Lake, where the red Huc Bridge leads to the Temple of the Jade Mountain. Wander at dawn to see tai chi by the water, or after dark when the pavements fill with food stalls and low plastic stools.

Top-ranked sights in Hanoi: Ha Long Bay, Hanoi Old Quarter, Long Bien Bridge (Cau Long Bien).
