5.00A private boat with a guide, what more could you ask for? We visited wonderful caves, did a fun bamboo boat ride and saw incredible scenery. Our guide David was fabulous telling us the history of Halong Bay. The boat crew had ice cold towels, tea and fruit waiting for us after each stop. Again, this a a boat to yourself - just your group. For us there were just two of us. There was a comfortable seating area below and a wonderful lounge area on the top deck. The bathrooms were clean. What more can I say? Why get on a boat with a bunch of strangers fighting for photos when you can get one all to yourself!!! They offer lunch for a very reasonable price also.
Halong Bay Fun!

5.00Monica was phenomenal! So knowledgeable on the history of the area and sites we visited! She even gave us a bunch of information on the culture from her own personal experiences. We can’t wait to come back and book a tour again with Monica!

5.00Wonderful tour! Our guide met us promptly & led us to our boat. The captain welcomed us aboard & our guide Onah told us stories & gave us history about Halong Bay as we cruised. The scenery was beautiful & exploring the cave was incredible. Our guide was so nice, answered questions, went at our pace & took lots of photos for us. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Mr. David was our guide for a private tour. He conveniently met us at the cruise port at walked us right outside to the boat. He communicated well in English and was friendly and accommodating. We were able to see caves, took a bamboo boat around a beautiful lagoon, learn about some of the history of Halong Bay and Vietnam. Took a picture of a rock formation that is on their money, the 200,000 dong. Tea and a snack were provided. And we returned well before “all aboard,” which again, was conveniently located at the end of the dock next to where our tour ended. We even had time to go back to the cruise terminal for coffee, before walking back to the cruise ship. Would definitely recommend seeing this UNESCO heritage site, especially if you’re short on time and/or do not want to take the 3-hour car ride to Hanoi.
Highly Recommend this Tour

5.00Our tour guide David contacted us on WhatsApp and kept us up-to-date with our meeting location. He was on time and exactly where he said he would be his English was great. He was very informative. He got us to our first stop before all the other boats. this was a tremendous advantage. We had a much better tour we got to go to a second cave, and as we were leaving, we saw the mass of people and boats all trying to get to the same location he then took us to another location or again we had another Operator who rode the bamboo boot boat into the lagoon took great pictures got back on our boat. Got back to the ship with plenty of time for afternoon activities. I highly recommend this Private tour or group tour.
Highly recommended! Great guide Ms. Huyền :)

5.00This was our second visit to Ha Long Bay, and it was even more wonderful than the first time. We booked the tour with Windy again because he always designs tours that suit us, and his team provides us with enthusiastic support. On this trip, Ha Long Bay offered many new and exciting experiences. Everything is now more modern and beautiful than before. Accompanying us was guide Tom, who spoke English fluently, had knowledge about the tourist sites in Ha Long, and demonstrated professional service. Our family of four booked a private tour to have a guide support us throughout the trip. The check-in process at the counter was very quick because the guide had already contacted and directed us from the start. We went on the morning cruise, so the weather was cool and pleasant for sightseeing. After exploring two caves and kayaking, it was time to rest and have lunch, which was very timely as the weather started to get sunnier and we were quite hungry. The lunch on the boat was plentiful and delicious, with vegetarian options for my husband since he is currently on a diet. The staff on the boat were friendly and cheerful. At the end of the trip, we were truly satisfied. Thanks to Tom and Windy for a wonderful experience even the tour was really short.
Great time in Ha Long

5.00Thank you to Vietnam Tour Tailor and our guide Hung for providing us with such wonderful experiences in Ha Long. The car and guide arrived punctually at our cruise ship, which was great because we didn’t have to travel to a crowded meeting point. We were taken aboard a clean wooden boat exclusively for the two of us, and we began a 4-hour tour of the bay. We were lucky that we visited the bay while there were not so many people as they may be afraid of the Yagi storm's destruction. The boat we went to was not in trouble but we did see many of them parking and getting repaired . Both caves were truly beautiful, with limestone formations creating impressive natural sculptures rather than human-made ones. Throughout the trip, Hung was very enthusiastic, sharing interesting details about the caves and the small islands we passed by. Although the schedule was tight, we managed to experience the best sights of Ha Long Bay. Additionally, the lunch on the boat was excellent, featuring fresh seafood and green vegetables, which made the trip truly complete. We had to book lunch the day before the trip and they sent us menus to choose from. Lots of rubbish was still floating on the bay but we saw many boats collecting them on our journey. It would be much better and nicer to come back to Halong bay in the near future and see the greenness of the bay. Overall, we are very satisfied with this trip and appreciate the team very much.
