          Water Puppets and delivery service
          The water puppet show is amazing and well worth a visit. Rate this 5 stars. The reason for the 4 stars is that it took several emails , WhatsApp messages and a phone call to get the tickets delivered to our hotel. Charming Vietnam Travel were responsive and very nice, but it would be better if they told you at the start when the tickets would be delivered, and I booked 5 days in advance, so they had plenty of time to organize this. They finally told me 5pm on the day of the 6:30pm show and they eventually turned up at 5:45pm after a phone call. It might be better to order through the hotel next time. Show was really good though, so all good in the end. 😀

          Great tour experience
          We had the best time at Ha Long Bay with Charming Vietnam Tour. The tour leader is very friendly & helpful. The bus is clean and comfortable. The boat is also clean & the foods are nice. Everything is so well organized.

          Our day tour to Halong Bay was an unforgettable experience!
          The breathtaking views of the emerald waters and dramatic limestone islands were a highlight of our trip to Vietnam. The itinerary was well-organized, starting with a relaxing boat ride through the bay, followed by an exploration of a stunning cave filled with unique formations. Kayaking between the karsts added an adventurous touch and allowed us to fully appreciate the natural beauty up close. The lunch on board was delicious, featuring fresh seafood and traditional Vietnamese dishes. The guide was knowledgeable and made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. The all-inclusive nature of the tour meant we didn’t have to worry about any extra costs, which was a huge plus. Overall, this tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Vietnam. It’s a perfect mix of relaxation, exploration, and adventure in one of the world’s most stunning natural wonders!

          Fabulous tour guide. The cave was amazing
          Very good trip. Binh was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge to share. Just be aware that if you select Pearl Suite for pick up, that the address is actually the Art Hotel, 7 Dong Thai Street. Apart from us being a little confused by this, the actual trip was fantastic. The cave was the highlight for our group. The lunch was very good. A good choice if you are short on time and only have the day to see Halong Bay.

          Awesome tour, thoroughly recommended.
          We thoroughly enjoyed riding around the streets of Hanoi, visiting places we'd never have tried and dishes we wouldn't have known to order but which provided some of the best food that we tried in Vietnam. We were a variety of ages and sizes but never felt unsafe or uncomfortable on the motorscooters. The tour leader also showed us the neighborhood in which he grew up which was fascinating and a side of the city most tourists would never see but we were really pleased to see an authentic view of life in Hanoi. Thank you to Lina and all the other drivers.

          Fantastic and Unique
          A must do in Hanoi! Showcases many of Vietnams early stories and uprising. Unique, forgettable and would recommend to anyone of all ages.

          Fun, Authentic & Good
          The food was great and so were the guides. It was personal, the food was outstanding and not touristy - it was exactly what I was looking for. It was a trip to experience and be a part of Hanoi's scooter lifestyle. I would recommend it and do it again.

          Unsatisfactory Service with Tour Guide
          We were the first customers who arrived at this Charming Vietnam Travel at 7:45am! But we were the last customer to board the tour bus!! Very Unsatisfactory with the tour guide! Very rude! We waited there for 1 hour plus, but we boarded the bus last, and we were seated separately with my husband! Very bad services! Will never recommend to any of my friebds or relatives or join this any tour with this travel company again!! Terrible with this very first experience!

          Charming Theatre Experience
          Unique and delightful theatre experience - the puppets themselves were quite spectacular and the musical accompaniment was brilliant. Would highly recommend this to travellers to Hanoi
