The tour was great. Phong was a great guide. Phong told us a lot about different topics during the tour. The cruise ship was really modern and luxurious. The destinations were a bit crowded. I would advise to visit when there is good weather.

I was in Halong Bay on Persian New Year's Eve and one of the best memories of my life was made with my best friend. The sheer beauty and uniqueness of the area was stunning.

What a positive experience, from being picked up from the hotel on time, despite crazy traffic. The pearl farm was a nice extra. Phong, our guide was very professional and made sure we had all the necessary information. Checking that we were comfortable throughout, thank you.
