Honeymoon Vietnam Trip

Vietnam | Dec 24 - Jan 6, 2024

We did the 2 night cruise with Hermes for our honeymoon and had a great experience. We stayed in the presidents suite and had a semi private balcony and jacuzzi. The room was beautiful and roomy as was the rest of the boat. Note that the jacuzzi though heated was too cold to get in during the winter. Also note that the wifi was extremely spotty. The guides and staff on the boat were very welcoming and entertaining. The food and cocktails were decent for a cruise. We particularly liked the departure brunch. We did hiking, swimming, and kayaking excursions across the 3 days. Since we had a full day on the second day, we were able to cruise out to a neighboring bay and do a beautiful kayaking trip where it was less crowded. I’d highly recommend this tour to experience Ha Long Bay!

We came to Hoi An during rainy season so unfortunately we didn’t get to experience some of the hotels amenities to their fullest. This hotel had several pools that would have been nice in the summer. Our honeymoon suite was beautiful ans had a private tub and sauna. It was nice, though the layout might seem a bit awkward to people used to staying in more traditional hotels. Our favorite part about this hotel was the spa. La Spa at the hotel gave us the best massages we’ve ever gotten. The entire experience was thoughtfully curated, and we would highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of whether or not you’re staying at the hotel.

We loved this tour and Daniel was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Hanoi and the village he was taking us to. With his knowledge, he crafted us a very intimate tour with the community. We biked to a food market, temple, and made bun cha at a villager’s house. He told us a really interesting backstory about the owner of the house we were at. We also visited a flower farm and a lady who makes tofu out of her house (so delicious!). We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi!

This tour felt a bit cookie cutter and we just went to sights that were on TripAdvisor’s top 10 list, which we felt like we could have done ourselves.

We went on a jeep foodie tour with Jenny and had an awesome experience. Jenny curated several food stops for us, including seafood, local dishes, and desserts. We went to several districts during our couple hours on this tour. Jenny was really entertaining and energetic and planned very memorable stops. We had a lot of fun driving through the city in the open air. We were not bored because we went from restaurant to restaurant at a fast pace with our tiredly guide throughout. We would highly recommend this tour!
