What is the Booking Office
It also makes sense as an office that provides tour information for international visitors. But scale of Booking Office is smaller than Travel Agency.
Booking Office in Hanoi usually specializes in providing short-term tours and services such as bus ticket, train ticket, Booking Office also have laundry services, rental of motorcycles and bicycles.
They have no function, duty to provide and sell to customers all kinds of Vietnam Package Tours. Normally, they can only sell types of ticket in one particular local as Ninh Binh 1 Day Tour, 2 Days Tour, Halong Bay 1 Day, Halong Bay 2 Days 1 Night Tour, Sapa 2 Days 1 Night Tour.
They rely on programs available to give guests. They do not have the function of planning or organizing tours on request of customers .
This type is low legal. So I suggest that you should find reputable Booking Office to book tour for your trip.
