Jan 15th VCT tour
Hi folks, We're on the January 15th tour. My wife and I are doing a Halong Bay tour on the 15th and will most likely miss the opening dinner and meeting all our travel mates. If you're on the 1/15 tour, say hello on the forum here. Also is there any way to message the tour director so we can connect with them without making the opening dinner?

Are you doing a day tour, or an overnight?
You could call Tauck and get them to message the TD. Probably a better idea than leaving a message with the hotel reception..I have noticed that there seems to be a new thing on tours where you get an overview at either the Welcome dinner or early the next day. What a shame to miss the dinner,it’s important.
We're doing just a day trip with Cozy Bay Cruise. I know people say the overnight is great, but there's only so much you can fit in ;-)
I set up a day tour of Ha Long Bay and specified that I had to be back to the hotel in Hanoi by 6pm. They want to take you to a pearl place so tell them to skip that part. If they pick you up about 8am, you can have a fair amount of time on the boat.
I arranged for a private tour - it's just us on a smaller boat - so I have more flexibility. If you are going on a party boat, you won't have that flexibility.
My husband and I will be joining you on the January 15 tour. Mindy and Allan. Looking forward to meeting everyone
We are also arriving on the 14 th. We decided to do the backstreet tours. See everyone at dinner!
Mindy, this thread is from December 2023, I’m sure they were talking about a 2024 departure date.
Oh yes thank you!
Are there restrooms on the buses?
I don't remember whether there are restrooms on the buses - but they stopped at frequent intervals for rest stops. You probably know that using a restroom on a bus is awkward. They're small and if the bus in moving you get jostled around.
Yes, I know that. But in an emergency… Thanks for the info
