@@b3neaththestarlight299 hi It was difficult for me in my early 30s but I'm also very out of shape. The rice field is very slippery so it wouldn't recommend it if your parents are not frequent hikers. If you have the right shoes/ boots it will help

@@shrutihazare hi there are many bike and scooter rental places around. I think for scooter you would need international license. I’m not sure about using debit card, it depends on your bank but card payment is very common there

@@jpzamora143 the schedule changes from time to time. Closer to the time you go i would google “Hanoi train street schedule today” to get the latest from recent blog posts. Sometimes the street is closed to local residents only for safety reasons

@@Irishman8787 hi, i would prefer doing it once you get to Vietnam, as the dollar is a favorable currency there so the exchange rate could be better. Between the airport vs outside the airport, it’s a matter of convenience. You can find better rate outside but if you feel comfortable having cash on hand the minute you arrive, airport is a great option.

@@hellowinnie thank you that's nice advice appreciate it I'm sure 5000$ USD will , be enough for me to vacation a month in Vietnam lol for me myself and I !

@@Irishman8787 that’s why more than enough if you already book your stay. An option i would recommend if your bank allow you to withdraw money overseas with a small fee. It would be safer and more secure than carrying a large sum of cash. Have fun!!

cuz I searched in Tripadvisor and didn't find any cruse with Twin bed

@@AggressiveWarrior1 hi, you can book it online ahead of time if you find what you like or if you want a local travel agency to search for what you need and book it there, that’s fine too. They have a lot of info and usually can find you a cruise that fits your budget and needs.

@@hellowinnie I did and found one similers to your cruse for 280usd per person for 3D2N is this good deal ?

@@AggressiveWarrior1 hi, i think that’s a very decent deal for 2 nights stay.

@@CultureDrift i recommend bun cha in Hanoi, it’s a Northern pork vermicelli dish that’s different from the version you get in typical Vietnamese restaurants cause they serve the southern version.

@@mynk_coatz right? Even Uncle Sam faces rejection 😆

@@donwoodring7184 thank you 😊

@@geraldhogan1980 i would go from North to South as the north side is a bit colder so you slowly acclimate to the weather before heading south. The north side has more old charm, history and character compared to the south

@@hellowinnie Thanks for sharing 👍

@@marthalinero963 thank you 😊

@@misbaahmed9783 oct to May is the best time to visit, summer is hot and humid, rainy season

@@teals_star it was better than i expected

@@lisawilliams2444 they are fairly close to one another, max 15 min taxi ride

@@lisawilliams2444 you will have a blast, make sure you have some time for shopping, especially for skin care products

@@MukeshSahu-mn2ps if you are in the old quarter then check out Hoan Kiem lake area at night, the locals are out and about, small vendors selling local crafts and street food. Near by there’re many local bars you can check out. They have some cool speakeasy. I’ve been to the player cocktail bar and enjoyed the drinks there, chill lounge vibe

@@hellowinnie thanks for your reply 🙏

I booked a tour via Klook and it included transport to the harbor and back to hotel, and transport while we were on the island. All private transport so we weren’t sharing car with anyone

I recommend the Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. This historic hotel offers luxurious accommodations and closed to the Old quarter. There are many options for 4 and 5 stars hotels near by depend on your budget.

haha, that was before the post covid travel rush, and it's a short 4-hour ish flight.

Hi, i booked with Klook all the times and it’s very reliable, i haven’t come across an irresponsible vendors. I always compare prices and i find Klook is more competitive compared to get your guide and Viator in Asia

There are many options for 3 stars hotel ($20 - $40) in the old quarter area which is closed to many attractions.

Thank you 😊

What hotel would you recommend ?

@@tloyou We stayed in a few! My favourite was probably a place called “Camellia” because the area had a local feel to it and also there were nice food and coffee spots nearby. Just depends where you want to stay really! We stayed in the old town for a few nights too but it’s a bit too loud and tourist heavy for our liking.

maps.app.goo.gl/B8LjQMJdY3m8BJtJ9?g_st=ic This is Camellia 🙂

@@HenryWrideExplores thank you for the tips..

Hi there, happy to share. His WhatsApp is Iwakmangku +62 812-3837-7255. I met him in 2022, hopefully he still have the same numbers.

It was a great city, awesome mix of modern and history, definitely recommend!!

Hi there, Girona old town is a very small so we walked around to check out all the sights. It was very close to the train station. There are bikes you can rent from an app like their local Uber. The popular sites are the main square, the Eiffel bridge, the medieval streets and the basilica, and the old bath house. They offer walking tours, and even one for Game of Thrones fan.

No, turn out you can pay directly by credit card on the bus, they have a POS on the bus, just tell the bus driver how many tickets you need.

Not this bus, the tour will stop at rest stop every 2 hours for bathroom break, they have street vendors selling food there too. The bus i saw with bathroom are the larger bus and sleeper bus for long distance travel

Hi there, I booked the tour via Klook so I can't recommend an actual agency. The tour I went on was very well organized and the guide did a great job. I like Klook because of it's slightly more affordable when I compare the same or almost the same tours on other platform like Getyourguide or Viator. Hope this helps!

Thank you thank you!! 😉

Thank you :)

Thank you so so much!!! Your comment made my day.

Thank you, glad you like it!

Hi there, my hotel is called Hanoi Brilliant Hotel and Spa. There are so many options in the area, pick the best that fits your need.

Hi there, I think it's a personal preference it that give you peace of mind. I didn't get one before travelling to Vietnam and other Asian countries. I would be mindful and refrain myself from petting local animals.
