Efficient and stunning!
I had only a few days off, and this tour fit perfectly. Halong Bay was magical and the cruise lunch was delicious. I loved how everything was arranged for us—smooth pick-ups, friendly guides, and a great mix of nature and temples. Trang An was my favorite part, the boat ride was so peaceful.

Comfortable, well-paced, halal-friendly
From airport pickup to the last day, Sun Getaways managed everything well. I was a bit concerned about food but they provided halal options—really appreciated! Ninh Binh's scenery was surreal, and climbing Mua Cave gave a rewarding view. A great short tour for Muslim travelers!

Perfect blend of culture and nature
Each place had its own magic! Halong Bay’s limestone rocks, Bai Dinh’s peacefulness, and that epic view from Mua Cave. I didn’t feel rushed at all. Our guide explained everything clearly and even helped us take great photos. Bonus: the bus was very comfy!

4 days, endless memories
Loved how this tour packed in so much without being hectic. Hanoi’s streets were buzzing, the Halong cruise was smooth, and Ninh Binh blew me away. Even the lunch spots were well-chosen. If you’ve got limited time, this is a great way to see Northern Vietnam

Great intro to Vietnam
I joined this as a solo traveler and had a great time. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. Halong Bay was picture-perfect, and Mua Cave was a hike worth doing for the views. The transport was punctual and clean.

Are the visits to pagodas and caves suitable for all fitness levels? I’m not used to climbing much.

Hi Amina! Great point — most parts of the tour are easy and scenic, including the peaceful Trang An boat ride and Bai Dinh Pagoda walk. The climb to the top of Mua Cave involves about 500 steps, but it’s optional — you can choose to relax at the base or just climb partway for the views. We always encourage guests to go at their own pace, and our guides are happy to assist if needed.
This tour looks very compact — will I have enough time to enjoy each place, or is it more like rushing through them?

Hi Elias! That’s a thoughtful question. While this is a short tour, it’s carefully designed to maximize time without making it feel rushed. You'll spend a full day on Ha Long Bay with a cruise and activities like kayaking or visiting caves, and a separate day exploring Ninh Binh's highlights including Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An boat ride, and Mua Cave. Many guests love how much they get to experience in just 4 days!
