Ha Long to Ninh Binh is a marathon day. The payoff is real: you get classic karst scenery on the water and on foot, without having to figure out buses or tickets yourself. Two parts I’d put at the top:…
Luxury afloat in one long day. I like this cruise for two things right away: the white-glove service and the included Vietnamese spring-roll cooking class. One thing to plan for: you must be at Tuan Chau harbor by 09:30 to…
