This experience was overall fantastic! It all seems to be arranged a bit differently to yours I have done in other countries but was all done very smoothly and comfortably and seems to be the way things like this are arranged in Vietnam. Our initial pickup from Hanoi was very smooth where a guide met us at a meeting point and waited until the Bus arrived. He kept us entertained and was very knowledgeable. The bus was very comfortable and air conditioned. when we arrived at the ferry terminal there was a short wait before boarding our boat "Lily cruises". The crew on the boat were phenomenal, we could not believe how friendly and attentive they were. the boat was very comfortable with everything you needed. the rooms were impressively large with bathrooms and excellent air-conditioning. the absolute highlight of this experience was the food. the food on the boat was absolutely outstanding! all the activities we were really good and we enjoyed ourselves immensely.
