The tour is expensive, they will take you those sea food and beer drinking small restaurant, eating OC (Shell), BBQ and beer,. nothing to shout about.
But it will be worth when you seat behind the XMM veit bu and squeeze her NNP throughout the bike ride.

xmm rider? later slap you for squeeze so hard

Just came back from it and was abit skeptical at first. Joined the tour solo and I must say it was the highlight of the trip.

9 other people were whites and in group so it was a little awkward at first but they were very friendly. The guides will make you feel right at ease though.

All in all, service dam good, scooter ride is good for those who haven't tried before, food is good!! They will show you some stuff you would never have known about vietnam unless you go there often.

Tried to book flight tickets for xmas. Tiger air tickets are ridiculous! each way $300 over. It seems like after merger with scoot that they became nonsense too. My booking for the same period allow me to utilise my tiger air free ticket. But now when i tried to do the same , the tickets are not available for use anymore. Looks like i have to use jet star in future.

Booked Vietnam Air flight 1 week before departure from long weekend only 210+, Wed-Sat

hahaaa.. me too... maybe time to give it a try

Tried half&half - cheese and terriyaki chicken. Not bad, I prefer cheese one. Can sit at the oven counter to see them making it in front of you.

curious where did they bring you and what food you had?

Like many, Bun bo hue - noodle soup with beef stock, seafood,rarer meats like quail and goat's breast, frogs, balut if you're into it, desserts.

The food is all nicely cooked and delicious.

It is also a combination of the night tour of the districts and some explanation. They bring you to D4,5,6,7,8 if I can remember correctly. I would've only been in district 1 if not for them.

Having said that, I think you would only go once due to the price.

just like other public holidays ...

it would take me several days to go thru these districts if i DIY.
so definitely a great time saver for those who don't have much time in HCMC. besides since they already do the legwork so you can be assured of good experiences, food safety & quality

Bun bo hue ~ spicy sour sweet beef noodles, for those who prefer spicy taste. i prefer milder taste like Mi Quang nowadays

Balut / hot vit lon ~ tried before, taste ok but what kills me was their dipping salt. i think it contains msg which gives me a terrible headache

One disadvantage of going solo is that it's going to be difficult have dishes like Lau / Nuong De (hotpot / grilled goat) as their serve size usually for a group

Not sure if you're referring to the tour but I joined the tour alone and ate some grilled goat. I ate pizza4p alone as well, couldn't finish it :s13:

The group size was like 10, so people who don't like to interact may find it uncomfortable. Mostly you just talk to the tour guide, your lady rider or the guests opposite you.

It won't be cheap like promotional prices, but not as expensive as this too. Specially if you book very early like now. It should be $75-85 now , going by previous years prices.

From 1 Apr 17, all Halong Bay cruise will increase price by USD10. Think after the Kong movie, that area becomes popular and high demand...****. We going year end. The increase is set by Ha Long Bay Management.
