It was truly a unique and memorable tour. Ken is an amazing tour guide- a true asset to the tour agency in Vietnam. He is very knowledgable and made sure everyone was having fun and staying safe. The views were remarkable. A highly recommended experience while you’re in Hanoi.

It was good experience with my tour guide Alex. He’s knowledgeable guy and explains everything about culture and the Halong bay. We started our journey from Hanoi. And traveled to Halong bay in the bus and after that change to ferry, and saw more than 100 or 1000 islands. I did kayaking, it was fun in the water.

The trip was okey. Honestly I believe the cruise would be enough, visiting the island wasn’t interesting. Cave was just okey. I sort of don’t understand why the lunch was straight at the beginning. Due to the whole trip was pretty long at the end I was starving so bringing own food is not a bad idea. Although our guide Brayan was really great with wise knowledge and great English. I highly recommend Bryan as a guide. And the views were stunning one of the best places I’ve ever been

Great excursion to Halong Bay! I would like to warmly thank our guide Brian, who was extremely welcoming and inviting. He guided us throughout the day with the whole group, all in a good mood that he knows how to communicate to people and detailed explanations on the scene. We were also able to enjoy a traditional Vietnamese meal on board the boat. The view from the top of Titop Island was splendid, having a view of a beautiful part of the bay, as well as the Sung Sot cave, due to its size and exceptional stalacmites. I also recommend the speedboat, as an option. PS: Em cám ơn anh Brian nhiều!

We had the most amazing day. Cloudy but warm and the whole day was full of amazing scenery, friendly staff and tour guide, hats off to Brian he was brilliant from the start to the end. Hotel pick up and drop off, full 6 hours on the boat. We opted for the speed boat option on the day which was brilliant as you got to see a bit more, was about £7 extra on the day. Food was lovely, and plenty of it. Drinks extra but well priced. We were made to feel welcome and met some lovely guests as well. Highly recommend.
