I met my partner while backpacking around Indochina nearly 3yrs before our wedding, so it seemed a natural progression to honeymoon there. We chose a 12 day honeymoon tour with HTS Tours as it fitted well with our schedule. We could not be happier as everything went according to plan and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our cruise on Halong Bay was my now wife’s favourite as she did not do it when back-packing, mine was everything as I spent the whole honeymoon adventure with her. Our honeymoon will be remembered fondly for the rest of our lives as we enjoyed it so much. Thanks for the organisation HTS, I don’t think it will be the last time will use your services; we love your country so much.
