Amazing cruise
We travelled with 3 families (11 people) Tung our guide was amazing. We had a great time. Swimming, cycle to village and kayaking. The scenery was so beautiful. The food was also great and lots of it. All the staff were very nice too. Rooms were very clean
Response from the operator: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you so much for your review, it is so lovely to know that we have left a special impression on you that drives you to spend time writing a detailed review about Venezia cruises. Your praise will be the best encouragement for us to work even harder to meet high expectation of valued customers and to provide an excellent service. Thank you for mentioning our tour guide Tung and other staff. I do believe that it would be a great motivation for all of them us to work harder to improve our service better. We wish you all the best in life and hope to welcome you back soon! Best Regards, Jan Dang

Pay the extra and go on a better boat!
I read the 5 star reviews prior to booking.... I'm really not sure if I was on the same boat as the other people. It was not all bad, the transfers were good, Huan was awesome and made the trip fun for the kids and the kayaking and jumping from the boat was lots of fun.... but unfortunately that's where it ends. The food looked amazing but tasteless. My husband's and my room had unbelievable boat fumes and even with the Windows open it didn't go away. Upon telling the staff about this, they said to leave it with them... to which they did nothing about and my husband and I had to move into our children's room and share 3 single beds amongst 5 people. Whilst eating dinner, I noticed that the staff actually had 2 rooms on the second floor with a balcony and no fumes.... but they did not offer these to us... needless to say we didn't get any sleep. My children and I then decided to get up at 530am for the Tai Chi session and headed up onto the deck at 6am... only to have no one turn up and a staff member tell us that the teacher was sick... (We saw the staff running through the boat during the night drinking alcohol so I should have known!). This was followed by a simple breakfast and then back to the dock. I have done many reviews on trip advisor and feel it is necessary to tell people the truth so they don't have to go through what we did when you are paying a decent amount of money. Once we had docked we were approached by our guide who offered us 500,000VND.... AUD$30 for our troubles. This can't be classed as a 4 star cruise... for almost $1000 AUD for less than 24 hours of cruising... not sure where the money is going. Pay the extra!

2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.
How much does 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking cost?
+
Prices start at $116 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 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking?
+
Around 2 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2D1N in less tourist area cruise with 5-10 pax, kayaking, biking 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 Ninh Binh Day Trip from Hanoi with Tam Coc or Trang An & Mua Cave, Ha Giang Loop Tour 4 Days 3 Nights with Ha Giang Vision Tour, Halong Bay Day Tour With Titop Island, Cave, Kayak & Lunch. 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.
