Asked by Nhi | Jul. 07, 2021 11:03
Will we be picked up from our hotel? If so, can we be picked up from either Hai Phong City or Hanoi?
Answered by Cindy | Jul. 07, 2021 11:04
Dear Nhi, Thank you for your email. Please note shuttle bus only picks up and drops off in the hotel within Hanoi old quarter and if you are staying in a hotel outside the old quarter, you need to take a taxi to our office at 72 Hang Trong to join the tour. And in case you are in Hai Phong, you need to arrange the transfer on your own to the cruise's port. Best regards, Cindy (Ms.)

Tery did a very good job. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The trip to the floating fishing village was interesting. We learned much about the local life of the people here. Definitely worth your money.
