When our family arrived in Hanoi we had pencilled in Sapa and Halong Bay as the places we wanted to see, so we booked this tour and covered both places. We enjoyed the city guided tour, and our children were both mesmerised by the water-puppets. The following morning we were taken by private car to Halong Bay for our cruise on the famous bay and it was delightful. The weather was good and it was the first time my children had experienced a boat cruise, and they loved every minute of it, including their time spent on Cat Ba Island. On arrival back in Hanoi we had some dinner and went by train to Sapa. It is a special place and the friendly minority people treated us very well and when you see them first time in their colourful costumes it is amazing. The lovely girls, who led our walking tour, piggy-backed our 5 year old daughter for the last couple of kilometres of the walk. We caught a night train back to Hanoi and the kids slept like logs.
