The drive from Hanoi is about 3 hours with at least 4-5 stops to pick up other passengers! The bus of 21 seats was full! The guide seemed tired and was not really into touring us! He had a nap on the way! Explained the trip very briefly and missed information about buffet lunch! It seemed like we were bothering him?? Ha Long Bay is a beautiful place but over crowded with boats & way too many people! It is not peaceful & Vietnamese there seem to be annoyed with the tourists! The cruise staff were okay but very slow in serving drinks & they tell you where to sit to have lunch and not by your own choice!! It was not a good value for our money! 6 hours drive and total of rushed 2.5 hours of lunch, cave, kayaking and not much of a beach more like a small polluted area to stand in the water! I do not recommend this tour!

My family and friends did this tour together and we are so delighted. Our tour guide is very prompt and thorough on explaining what’s going on. The buffet meal was really good. Too bad the basic water to drink was not included but we understand. The cruise staff were all so appropriate and respectful. The toilets were always being upkeep and I do appreciate it a lot. I will surely recommend this cruise to my friends who are going to ask me.

It was a nice trip and Ken was a very friendly and helpful tourguide. We saw a lot in a short time and it was well planned and organized. Only the Kayak Tour could have been organized a little more structured, the rest was fine. The food was very good and the price was reasonable.
