    Cultural trip to Vietnam

    Our trip to Vietnam for our 40th wedding anniversary was memorable. Amy and her team planned our stay for 13 days with great hotels transportation and great tour guides for the North, Central and South of Vietnam. My husband and I congratulate them for this great and amazing experience and the souvenirs. Milton and Lilian Taboada

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We are truly honored to have been part of your 40th wedding anniversary celebration. It’s wonderful to hear that you and your husband had a memorable experience exploring Vietnam from North to South. Amy and the entire team are delighted to know that you enjoyed the hotels, transportation, and tour guides. Your lovely feedback means the world to us. We wish you both continued happiness and many more beautiful journeys ahead!

    Vietnam from South to North - good insights in 10 days

    Like the previous trips with the agency, it was also very well organized and well thought out. The quality and choice of hotels left nothing to be desired. In particular, the equipment of the boat in Halong Bay surprised us very positively. We were 2 couples on a private tour that Amy Jian from TravelChinaGuide looked after perfectly in the usual way. We will certainly fall back on it again in our next trips to Asia.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad your private tour was another success, and it’s fantastic to hear that Halong Bay’s amenities stood out to you. Amy Jian will be so happy to know her planning made your trip special. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more adventures in Asia—safe travels and see you next time!

    Excellent Vietnam tour

    We booked our Vietnam tour several months in advance, and worked exclusively with Amy Jian as our travel consultant. Amy was fantastic to work with and was quite thorough in addressing any questions or concerns we had. Since we had never been to Asia, we asked a lot of what I'm sure were minor questions, but Amy was always prompt and thorough in responding, and seemed as though she truly cared that we had the best experience possible. The hotels she selected and guides she assigned to our time in each city were fantastic, and helped make this a truly unforgettable experience. We've travelled extensively in Europe, Australia and North America, and have never before used a service or guided trip, but if we had not booked with Amy and her company, I'm certain we would not have seen and done half of what we were able to do on this tour.

    Response from the operator: Dear William B, we greatly appreciate your kind review of your lovely journey! It gives us immense joy to have your satisfaction of the trip, which is our constant pursuit. We have tour service in more than 120 countries globally and we will be happy to have a chance to serve you in the future to explore more travel destinations. Best regards from AgateTravel Tours.

    China made easy

    I'd never previously been to a country where I knew none of the language and could not even read the script. Nor to a place with such strict visa regulations. But Travel China Guide Tours guided me through the whole process, not only of satisfying the entry requirements but also of the exact itinerary. Amy Jian was endlessly patient, unfailingly helpful and quick to reply not only before take-off but also throughout the trip, emailing any slight adjustment and modification along the way (of which there were very few). If I go to China again (and I plan to, before the visa expires) Amy will be the first person I consult.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you so much for your kind posts! It gives us a great thrill to know everything went perfectly in your trip and you enjoyed it. Best regards from Agate Tours.

    Vietnam is a must see destination

    Fantastic holiday. So many things to see and do. We went to Hanoi, Ninh Binh, Halong Bay, Dong Hoi, Hue, Hoian and HCMC and would repeat the exact same holiday again without exception. Agate Travel (Amy) were brilliant every step of the way.

    Response from the operator: Dear Robyn T, thank you for taking time to share your Vietnam trip! How delighted to see you had a wonderful tour. Our professional team is knowledgeable with all aspects of travel. We look forward to serving you on your next vacation. Best regards from AgateTravel Tours.

    12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,429 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi take?

    +

    Plan for about 288 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.

    Is 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 288-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 288-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Hanoi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Hanoi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Hanoi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi?

    +

    Included: Service of English speaking guides per itinerary; Entrance fees as indicated in the itinerary; Services of a private driver and air-conditioned vehicles; Lunch; and Dinner. Not included: International flight into and out Vietnam; Tips or gratuities for guide and driver; Vietnam Visa fees; and Christmas, New Year, Lunar New Year & public holidays surcharge. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Hanoi.

    What languages is 12-Day Vietnam Highlights Travel from Hanoi offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    +
