Traveler Reviews
It’s a short boat ride along the lantern river , the tour includes a floating lantern each which was nice. They were also very accommodating when running slightly late :)
our guides were fantastic! Great story telling and great company. our guides were Vito, Nghia and Hau. the food is great and lots of it. one thing I would recommend is perhaps to have some walking activity or something in between the stops or every 2nd or 3rd stop...gives time for the food to digest so you can enjoy more...it's alot of eating within a relatively short space of time. but would definitely recommend to people...even if you've never ridden a scooter
This is a perfect example for an activity that should be booked beforehand. We arrived and got clear instructions via whatsapp as to were to meet the person responsible for our boot ride. We were a little early but could go on the boot straight away. The boot trip took around 20 minutes and the vibe was amazing. The captain took pictures of us and even gave us another free lantern because the first ones didn’t stay lit. Really recommend booking this before visiting as there are many people trying to lure you to their boot and their prices are a lot higher.
Very quick but booking in advance was great as we skipped the queues and were put onto a boat as soon as we arrived.
Great fun and a great tourist experience - very busy on the river with the experience just 15mins or so. But a great experience and so cheap.
The boat ride was very busy and very touristy….but we loved it!!! There was 3 of us and we liked the fact that we had a boat to ourselves (with no strangers sharing OUR friends experience. Making a wish and sending our lanterns down the river was sweet…. I hope my wish comes true 😊
Easy meetup with organisor. Great communication before & after. Cute activity, short & sweet. Beat the queue!
We had a fabulous time. Brilliant organisation and communication. Lovely friendly contact. Our rower was wonderful and made for such a fun time. Highly recommend.
Tu was very lovely and even allows me to change the time as i accidentally book a wrong time. Thank you
An absolute must do in Hanoi! Great value for money and a surprisingly magical experience!
Very good and comfortable ride. Very nice to meet Tu. She was very kind
It was nice to have having set up prior, but you pay more than if would have booked as a walk up. Great experience and highly recommend it.
