We had the best day today on this wonderful tour organised by Bryan and guided by Geni. From the train ride from Hanoi Geni gave us so much information about the Vietnamese people and their culture, Geni showed us so many wonderful sights and we ate lots of delicious traditional foods and drinks made by the local people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Hai Phong and the Vietnamese people. Bryan and Geni made our day in Hai Phong extra special so many with wonderful memories to take home with us ☺️🇦🇺

An Amazing Trip to Hai Phong, Vietnam I recently had the opportunity to visit Hải Phòng, and it was an unforgettable experience filled with rich culture, stunning landscapes, and delicious food. I stayed at a lovely hotel in the city center, which provided easy access to many attractions. The rooms were comfortable and well-equipped, and the staff were incredibly helpful, offering great recommendations for local dining. One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the historic Trang Kenh Temple. The architecture was beautiful, and the serene atmosphere made it a perfect spot for reflection. I also explored the famous Hải Phòng Opera House, which is a stunning example of French colonial architecture. Hai Phong is renowned for its cuisine, and I was not disappointed! I tried the local specialty, **bánh đa cua** (crab noodle soup), and it was absolutely delicious. I also enjoyed fresh seafood at a bustling night market, where the flavors were vibrant and authentic.

On my last Vietnam trip. I had an opportunity to visit Ha Long, Ninh Binh, and Sapa. But when I returned to Vietnam, I decided to choose a strange city, Hai Phong. Hai Phong is a peaceful city and has a beautiful blend of modernity and antiquity. Another experience of the tour was traveling by train from Hanoi, I got to see the countryside of Vietnam on the way. Local food was very delicious and had a unique taste, different from food in other places like Hanoi. Our tour guide was Bryan, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. The Tour guide. This experience was worth trying, highly recommend it.

A town has a harmonious combination of classic and dynamic features. It was such a great ambiance when I had a perfect day to get rid of the chaos and heat of Ha Noi. Furthermore, I immersed myself in a diverse array of local foods boasting unique tastes such as Banh Da Cua, Breadstick,... By and large, I highly recommend this tour and I would like to thank Sondax Travel brought to me a wonderful tour.

I booked the Haiphong historical and food tour by train operated by Sondax for my team. They have given us unexpected experiences. Hai Phong was really beautiful and peaceful. Despite the effect of the Yagy typhoon, the weather that day was cozy and cool making us excited to explore historical relics and taste the unique and delightful flavors from Hai Phong's diverse array of local dishes. In addition, the tour guide was friendly and thoughtful. I had a little bit of regret when onboarding the train to come to Ha Noi because I wanted to be in Hai Phong longer. In conclusion, I would like to thank Sondax Travel for offering a wonderful tour and I will definitely choose Sondax's service on my return trip to Viet Nam.

Northern Vietnam is famous for landmarks like Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long... but we decided to choose a different city, Hai Phong, and traveled there by train. The first surprise was the experience of taking the train in Vietnam, something that very few other tours offer. Upon arriving in the city, I was amazed by the peaceful atmosphere, the blend of modern and ancient charm, and the city's diverse cuisine. A special thanks to our guide, Mr. Bryan, who took great care of us with dedication, thoughtfulness, and an extremely friendly attitude. He told us many historical stories about the city and always tried to answer all our questions. Although we arrived back at Hanoi station at nearly 10 PM, we had some rest on the train, so we didn’t feel tired, plus the cool weather that day made for an unforgettable experience in this beautiful land. I highly recommend this tour, and you should book the Hai Phong tour for a unique and truly different experience.
