In this video we go behind the scenes and show you EVERYTHING:
• What the overnight cruise is really like
• Our full cabin + ship tour
• All meals & activities included
• The extra fees nobody tells you about
• Round-trip transport from Hanoi
• And our honest cost breakdown 💰

If Halong Bay is on your Vietnam bucket list, this video will help you decide if it’s worth spending the money.

🍜 NEW VIDEO: Hanoi Street Food Tour 🇻🇳

We joined a local-led Hanoi food tour and it took us to places we would NEVER have found on our own. Our guide even brought us to spots her parents have eaten at for years — the kind of tiny local eateries travellers usually walk right past.

We tried a mix of classic dishes and a few things totally new to us, and learned a lot about Hanoi’s food culture along the way.

If you’re planning Vietnam (or just love food travel), we think you’ll enjoy this one ❤️

Have you ever done a food tour while travelling? Worth it or not? Tell us below 👇

🇻🇳 New Video is LIVE: Hanoi – Our First Impressions 🇻🇳

Hanoi surprised us… in good ways and in ways we honestly didn’t expect.
From the energy around Hoàn Kiếm Lake 🌃 to the food, the chaos, the charm — this city is intense, fascinating, and very different from anywhere we’ve been before. But there was one thing that really shocked us, and it’s something we think anyone planning a trip here should know about 👀
In this video, we share:

✔️ What we loved right away
✔️ What caught us off guard
✔️ When we would (and wouldn’t) recommend visiting
✔️ Practical tips to help you avoid the biggest downside
If Hanoi is on your travel list — or even if you’re just curious — this one’s for you.

🎥 Watch now and let us know in the comments:
Would you still visit Hanoi after seeing this… and what surprised you most?
