Asked by Emma · 1 year, 11 months ago
Hi, the hotel descriptions in the title and content introduction are different, I want to confirm if the Hanoi hotel is Hanoi Esplendor Hotel or Golden Rooster Hotel? Is the detail information for the 2 day 1 night trip the same as on the La Pandora cruise website, including kayaks? Thanks

Dear Emma, Please be advise you that we can pick up at both hotel however, I believe these are two different hotels and located in different locations. La Pandora cruise is featuring on our website which is included round trip transfer and kayaking. If you wish to go ahead with the booking cruise, please do let us know. We look forward to hearing from you soon. Phoebe
