Wonderful cruise on the Dragon Legend
Hi Huyen,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful cruise on the Dragon Legend with my family. It surpassed all expectations and your organisation and attention to detail was amazing.
How can we review your brilliant service on trip advisor?
We have already recommended your company to friends and will never forget the fabulous experience.
Kind Regards

Excellent cruise ship on Halong Bay
We found Indochina Tours on line, and couldn’t have been happier. We only had time for nine days and eight nights in Vietnam and it made sense to use a tour company. We opted for the ‘Tonkin Elegance Tour’, which gave us four nights in Hanoi, one in Sapa and one on the 24-hour cruise at Halong Bay, plus two nights on an overnight train, which was an enjoyable adventure. Our contact, Ms Huyen Nguyen, was excellent. She answered all our questions very quickly, in a very friendly manner, and in faultless English. She offered us a choice of a three-star tour at $710 per person and 4-star at $875. We chose the latter, and this gave us two nights in Hanoi at each end of the trip in the superb La Siesta hotel in heart of the old district. A small supplement also got us onto the excellent (and apparently best) cruise ship on Halong Bay, the Dragon Legend.
The tour was well thought-out and superbly managed. Guides and drivers showed up exactly as scheduled. We had a private car or minibus for all transfers, and a guide to ourselves, which meant we could have interesting and detailed conversations with them. The two overnight train trips from Hanoi to Lao Cai (the train station nearest to Sapa) were rattly but clean, and we enjoyed them. On our last full day we added an optional trip to Ninh Binh province, which made an interesting contrast to eh Vietnames highlands. Our Indochina Voyages contact, Huyen, was very clear about charges and conditions, what was included and what would be extra, and we were extremely happy with the service we received. If we are lucky enough to be able to visit Vietnam again, we won’t hesitate to contact the company.
The 2 day 1 night Ha Long Bay cruise on the Red Dragon was marvelous
Dear Mr. Lee,
The 2 day 1 night ha long bay cruise on the Red Dragon was marvelous.
Great food, drinks, and the scenery was spectacular. Tuan, the first mate, along with the rest of the crew were excellent. Spent the night on the water in a small secluded cove where we were able to swim and relax before dinner
Kind Regards,
Jaminnlexky.
Excellent Tour Planning!
We cannot speak highly enough about our wonderful trip to Vietnam with Indochina Voyages. Nam planned our trip for us and he was truly a joy to work with! He listened to our ideas for the trip and what we were looking to see and made amazing suggestions for things that we would have never considered doing (and we are so glad we did!). We literally showed up at the airport in Hanoi and Nam took care of every detail of our trip—we were able to completely relax and enjoy our trip without worrying about all of the complications that come with traveling to a new place. Our itinerary was an excellent mix of guided tours and time to explore independently. Our individual guides and drivers in each city were truly wonderful—especially Thanh (Hanoi + Ha Long Bay), Thuy (Sapa) and Long (Hue and Hoian). Our travels changed us and brought new and wonderful friends into our lives. We are so thankful for Nam who is a truly exceptional planner, project manager, teacher, and friend!
Vietnam and Laos – Inochina Voyages – Tailored private tour
We did 21 day tour – 18 day tour of Vietnam and a 3 day trip to Luang Prabang in Laos. Our travel consultant, Thao Vu, from Indochina Voyages did an excellent job in tailoring the trip to our specific requirements.
Our trip included Ho Chi Minh, Dalat, Hoi An, Hanoi, 2 day Halong Bay (Orchid cruise), Sapa and Luang Prabang.
Thank you Thao Vu for organising a wonderful trip for us to Vietnam and Laos. We really appreciate the time you took to tailor our day trips to suit our age and fitness levels.
Having our own personal driver and guide took away all of the worry about transfers from airports and hotels and made our day trips even more enjoyable. They were always on time to pick us up and were happy to stop at shops for us to pick up snacks. This can’t be done when you are on a large bus with lots of other people. Every driver and guide did a wonderful job and ensured that we enjoyed our tours.
THE PLACES WE ENJOYED THE MOST:
- Sapa
- Halong Bay – 2 days Orchid Cruise
- Luang Prabang
BEST ACCOMMODATION DURING OUR TRIP:
- Luang Say Residence: Luang Prabang
- Palm Gardens resort: Hoi An
TIPS:
- Halong Bay Cruise with Orchid Cruises – Cabins are beautiful. However, back cabins are too close to the engine and very noisy. Book near the front. The 2-night cruise is a must. One day would not be enough time for you to enjoy the cruise.
- Sapa – Our walking tour through the valley at Sapa was absolutely amazing! Don’t miss out on doing this just because you’re not an avid mountain trekker. The guide can choose an easy, fairly flat walk for you to do that still has fantastic scenery.
