I was flying into HaiPhong and had a free morning before my cruise to Halong Bay.  HaiPhong is not a tourist destination, so there are no planned itineraries from anyone I could find.  So I am grateful that Paradise Indochina created one.  The down sides were we had few things to see and my driver spoke next to no English, but he used translation apps and it worked if limited.  I loved the trip to the market....it was a highlight being the only westerner there.  In terms of them trying to meet my wishes, I’d give them a 4 and and in terms of it being a good tour, I’d give them a 3.  I’m glad I did it though.
