We booked two incredible tours through BestRate Tours and couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. Our first was a day trip to Ninh Binh and Tam Coc, which turned out to be a real highlight. The tour was flexible—you could choose from activities like a peaceful boat ride, hiking, cycling, and more. Everything was well-organized, including catering, and the guides were not only friendly but also shared fascinating insights along the way. Door-to-door pickup and drop-off made the whole day stress-free. Highly recommended!

Our second experience was an overnight cruise in Halong Bay, which was just as memorable. BestRate Tours offers a range of cruise options depending on your budget—you can choose your boat, room type, and duration. The itinerary was packed with great activities like kayaking, swimming, hiking to scenic viewpoints, cooking classes, and even morning tai chi. The food onboard was a standout, freshly prepared and beautifully presented, with special attention given to dietary preferences or allergies.

We traveled as a couple and found both tours to be smooth, professional, and thoroughly enjoyable. A big thank-you to our travel consultant, Hang Moon, who was warm, helpful, and incredibly responsive throughout the booking and trip. We highly recommend BestRate Tours for a seamless and well-curated Vietnam experience!

Janet planned an amazing 7-day getaway for two couples, and everything went off without a hitch! Our itinerary included 3 nights in Hanoi, a night in Ninh Binh, and a 2-night private cruise in Bai Tu Long Bay (right next to Halong Bay).

She truly thought of everything—even the weather was on our side! Her hotel and cruise recommendations were spot-on: the Apricot Hotel in Hanoi was ideally located, Emeralda Resort in Ninh Binh exceeded our expectations, and the 2-night Prince Cruise was a perfect way to experience the bay in comfort and privacy.

The food throughout the trip was delicious, and the service was consistently excellent. Janet did a fantastic job from start to finish—we couldn’t have asked for more.

As a family of four, we had an absolutely incredible experience on the Discover Halong Bay & Ninh Binh Package 2-day tour. We were captivated by the stunning beauty of the landscape. Exploring the Luon Cave and Surprising Cave was like stepping into another world. The historical excursion to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital was fascinating, and we learned so much about the rich heritage of the region. The boat ride along the Ngo Dong River in Ninh Binh was peaceful and showcased breathtaking natural beauty. The accommodations were comfortable, and the meals provided were delicious. This tour truly exceeded our expectations and created unforgettable memories for our family because of the assistance of Hera. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive and enriching Vietnam experience.

3 day Ha Long Bay experience
by Tripadvisor
We organised with the brilliant Mia Nguyen at Best Rate Tours for a 3 day, 2 night tour with Orchid cruises on their nostalgia boat. Mia’s help and organisation was brilliant. Due to the typhoon we had to change plans but she was helpful, friendly and organised throughout. We genuinely could not have asked for more from her. The boat was clean, comfortable and with some absolutely brilliant staff. We are well, plenty of options and lots of food available. The trips we took from the boat were even better than expected. An amazing experience.

Hello! I am interested in the 2-day Discover Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh tour for my family of 7. I want to see what the bungalow looks like. Can you send pictures? Also, there's no dinner on ther itinerary. Does this mean we have to pay for our own dinner? And what is the approximate that we go back to Ha Noi after Ninh Binh?
