A beautiful and relaxing experience after the chaos of the traffic of Hanoi. Beautiful scenery, great staff and lovely accommodations. Food was nice and we had a wonderful time. Would highly recommend.

We booked the two night cruise on the orchid 3 and had a wonderful experience. Our party was a total of 10 people, five kids ages 4-10. The crew was amazing and went out of their way to make us all comfortable and make sure the kids had fun. The itinerary kept us busy but also gave us time to recuperate from a bit of jet leg. Only small disappointment was that the island tour did not offer kid size bicycles so the adults had to double up with them and the youngest took the tram car. Food was delicious and in most cases kid friendly. Wine selection left a little to be desired But The atmosphere and views more than made up for it.
