    Phong was an excellent tour guide, he was very knowledgeable about the Ha Long Bay area and had a plethora of information to share at each stop. He was also very enthusiastic and clearly has a lot of passion for giving tours.

    Phong was an amazing tour guide. The sites were beautiful. My only caveat with this tour is the site's were too overcrowded. So many people left and right, lines to take photos, barely room to walk, horrible bathrooms at the caves, everything took so long. Even though Phong, the cruise crew, the driver were the most amazing ever, I highly encourage the tourism board of Vietnam to somehow limit the number of people going to Ha Long Bay in a single day because it greatly takes away from the experience. One of the most beautiful places on earth, yet they try to pack everyone together like sardines. It really took away from the experience. Truly, they must do something to limit the tourists, because it is so unfortunate. In all, Phong is a great tour guide! The sites had way way way WAY too many people to enjoy.

  • Good ha long bay tour
