I must say that I was happy and relaxed once I met Mr. Loi who had taken care of every bite of my first Vietnam trip. Loi has been friendly and makes you feel that you are his personal guest.
The Hanoi sightseeing was quite enjoyable and fun!!! Had a thorough explanation from the tour guide on every location we visited.
We had delicious Vietnamese cuisine for lunch from traditional restaurants as part of thr street food tour and the food was mouthwatering!!
And again, being a part of his Catba Island and Lan ha bay tour, I felt like I must visit again. It was a comfortable, relaxing cruise trip. Enjoyed it!!!!
