7 Dagen Vietnam Reizen (Hanoi- Ninh Binh - Sapa - Ha Long)

Sofia Travel heeft het ons zo gemakkelijk gemaakt. Bijna alles was gepland en we hadden zo'n geweldige tijd tijdens onze reis. Er zijn een paar dingen die we anders zouden doen, zoals alleen taxi's boeken die niet bij Grab zijn inbegrepen en onze slaaptreinen upgraden, maar we vonden het geweldig. Sofia Travel ten zeerste aanbevelen en als we terug naar Vietnam komen, zouden we Sofia Travel zeker weer gebruiken.

Great communication, very prompt replies. There was an issue where we were dropped off at the wrong hotel but Sofia got back to us as soon as possible and arranged for a car to pick us up within 5mins. Aside from that, everything else went according to plan and we had a great time. The downside was that the hotels and cruise we stayed didn’t meet our expectations. The hotel in Sapa turned out to be 2 stars instead of 3 stars as promised. It may have been the case that we wanted an upgrade to balcony view at the expense of 2 stars instead of 3 stars so beware of that. The cruise was listed as 4 stars but felt very old and run down and more of a 2 star cruise: the hotel in Hanoi is 3 stars but the furniture and decoration was also run down. 7 days also felt a little too rushed for us. For example, we treked up and down 1000 steps and had a full day trip at Ninh Binh then had to jump onboard an overnight train to Sapa later that night. An extra day might have helped a little in terms of rest but we did opt for 7 days instead of 8 so this was expected.

Over het algemeen is de reis goed georganiseerd en goed verzorgd door de lokale gids. De plaatsen die we bezoeken zijn geweldig, inclusief het verstrekte eten was lekker.
