A review on tour for Hanoi Tour by Vietnam Awesome Travel:

Vietnam Awesome Travel

Good:

- Planned for my entire itinerary, I only need to provide the places I want to go

- Everything was smooth in terms of transfers as well as the other tour companies that were partnered during the trip (Mr Linh's Adventure)

- All meals were well-provided and the food was good

Bad:

- Sometimes you are unsure what to expect next in the itinerary as the tour guide did not specify, you will need to ask the guide specifically before you know

- Calypso Cruises on Day 2 did not have kayaking, different from itinerary, in which the guide did not mention beforehand

Other stuff to take note:

- Hanoi International Airport is in USD currency

- Wifi is rather weak at all places, need to get a strong 4G sim card. I recommend getting from ICC, the most trustworthy of all

- Grab is easy to use in Hanoi, would recommend using Grab Motorbike instead of Grab Car as the roads are highly congested
