The tour guide was very considerate and dedicated. The itinerary was very rich and great. The scenery of Halong Bay is beautiful. I recommend everyone to come.
We took an 11-passenger limousine bus directly from Sapa to our Hanoi hotel. There are night trains and buses, but since we had a small child and luggage, we immediately booked a car to take us from our Sapa hotel to Hanoi. The 11-passenger limousine bus had very comfortable, individual seats, which was nice. However, the four seats (excluding the VIP seats in the middle and the two seats next to the driver) were standard, which was uncomfortable. While the price is reasonable, it's probably worth spending an extra 10,000-20,000 won for the VIP seats if possible. The back seats were really bumpy, so I didn't experience any motion sickness, but those who do might find it difficult, even with medication. The two seats next to the driver were particularly cramped. Since it wasn't a private space, it was fine for my child and me, but it was too cramped for two adults. The front seats, however, didn't rattle at all. And I didn't know Hanoi drove so slowly.. They drive at 70-80 km/h on the highway.. I was surprised.
You can take it easy and have breakfast at the hotel and get on the bus directly to the pier. It's comfortable! It will stop at Pearl Station in the middle, so it doesn't matter if you don't buy it.
The tour guide and driver were very professional. The scenic spots were well arranged. Due to the continuous rain, the water level in Chang'an rose and we could not pass the rock cave. The travel agency helped us adjust the route to Sangu. There were fewer people and the environment was very helpful.
It is best to spend another 250,000 dong to participate in the optional speedboat activity, which is well worth it.
