Phoenix had a good line up food planned and explained what everything was. She offered to take each of us back to our hotel, showed us around Hanoi city center, and everyone had fun conversations with her. Highly recommend doing this!

This trip with only five passengers was really cosy. The wiews from the boat, the kayak tour and from the top of the islands was great. Our guide Mr Lucky is so nice and helpful. He’s a local guy and knows a lot about the Islands and the people here. Transports were safe and the food was delicious.

We used VTS through klook on our trip to Hanoi in late February. HAN Airport pickup was perfect. They had a sign in front of baggage claim. It was easy to find. The driver was courteous and helped us with our bags. The drive was comfortable. We also used VTS for transportation back to HAN from the old quarter. They picked us up in front of our Airbnb and coordinated ETA through WhatsApp with the driver. They were perfectly on time. It was another flawless experience driving back. We had an early flight and they were able to pick us up at 4:30am without any issues. It took us 40 min to get to HAN airport and we had plenty of time to checkin. It was a wonderful experience. VTS was perfect for both airport pickup and drop off. I highly recommend.
