Cruise was good but the biggest drawback was the Internet. This was not available for the full cruise. Suggest inform clients about it in advance
Special focus should be given in getting rooms together, especially family travelling together

The Hanoi Hotel is quite clean and comfortable, although some furniture may need repair. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. But location is not the most ideal.
Although the room in Sapa is big and has a beautiful view, bed is stiff and squeaky. Toilet lighting also not bright. The staff doesn’t go the extra mile. The guide to the Cat cat village is good and her explanation is thorough and clear . The guide for the trekking doesn’t give much explanation nor tell us the option. It drizzled along the way and the trek was very muddy and slippery, not to mention very steep. It was not an easy trek. Some of us slipped and most of our shoes were covered with mud. Fortunately no major incident happened. She should have checked the comfort level of the participants before proceeding.
The guide for the cruise is professional and knowledgeable. He provided a lot of explanation and historical information. He also tried to avoid the crowded period but the beach is still too packed. We appreciate his considerations and thoroughness.

The guide took good care of us and always ready to help.

However, this trip requires a lot of transporting and walking so I think it will be suitable for young people more.

We had excellent instructions from the hotel personnel in Hanoi at the La Suit Hotel in Hoan Kiem, and they were always welcome, pleasant, and helpful. The hotel's buffet breakfast was also fantastic, with ready-to-order eggs your way and lovely fruits. While the Halong cruise was lovely and offered us a wonderful overview of Halong's grandeur, Sapa was the trip's high point. Although the terrain made for challenging walking, the reward was well worth it! If you go to Sapa, you must have the mulled wine at the nearby Dutch Bar, which is next to the Tavan Guesthouse.
This was a fantastic trip that left us with priceless memories that we won't soon forget. I'll most certainly utilize Bestrate once again.
