5.00Full private tour is a must for couples! Had an extremely wonderful experience in Ha Long with Johnny Pham, really recommend him. The land view that we got we will remember for the whole our life's. If you ask to change timing to skip crowds you will get a really private experience. The lunch was very tasty, shrimps, fish, crabs, spring rolls, french fries. Beverages are cheap, anything you want. Was there for 5 hours with 2 hour pleasent trip from Hanoi.

5.00Spent the day on Ha Long Bay. The bay was smooth and the stops were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the cave that we went through. Nothing like it in the US. It is a must see. The lunch provide was delicious and handled a special allergy. Our tour guide Hine was top rate with his local knowledge and history.

5.00Johnny was a spectacular host: highly communicative, punctual, knowledgeable and caring. The food was absolutely amazing. The scenery was something else with the gorgeous karts and sparkly caves. No overcrowding that we saw, and the area was relatively clean compared to what I expected based on some other reviews of Ha Long Bay! Highly recommend.
