Lovely experience

5.00Our family had a lovely time on this private tour to Ha Long Bay today. The service was immaculate, with comfortable transportation to and from our hotel, an outstanding private cruise (with great food) and nice spots to visit. We went through different nooks and crannies within the Bay and also visited several limestone caves, alongside a further private bamboo boat ride into the various bays. It was an all-round lovely experience! Our sincere thanks to our guide, Lee, who was charismatic, caring and knowledgeable (and an excellent command of English!). We would highly recommend this tour to fellow families wanting a unique and private experience of the beauties of Ha Long Bay.

Day trip to Ha Long Bay from Ha Noi

4.00We paid extra and chose private "luxury limousine" transfer to take advantage of the later pick up time (9am) and to travel in a bit if luxury for the 2 hours 30 minute journey from Ha Noi. Unfortunately the 12 seater minibus we were picked up in did not meet our expectations, not looking anything like the luxury limousine pictured in the advert for our trip...so I think the ad was misleading, as one of the reasons for choosing this particular trip was the luxury 'limo' travel option. However, the guide Lee was very knowledgeable and helpful, and so was the driver. Our son bought a bracelet from the Pearl 'factory' which needed to be manufactured. To save us time we continued on our journey and the driver popped back to pick up the finished bracelet.
We had interesting experiences in here. We are so surprised with the landscape in the Thien Cung cave.

5.00Upon arrival at the port, our driver seamlessly handed us over to the cruise staff. The boat was immaculate, and the crew provided a warm welcome and exceptional service throughout our time on the bay. The scenery, of course, is breathtaking—those iconic limestone karsts rising from the emerald water are a sight to behold. We indulged in a delicious multi-course seafood lunch (with great vegetarian options!), which was a highlight in itself. We enjoyed activities like kayaking through caves and relaxing on the sundeck. The guide on board was knowledgeable and shared fascinating stories about the area. The personalized attention and smaller group size made the experience feel exclusive and tailored to our preferences.
Wonderful Morning spent in Halong Bay

5.00Spending time in the cave was incredible The tour exceeded our expectations, with our tour guide Angela being the perfect host to create a wonderful experience. The immense size of the cave was amazing and very beautiful. The food on the boat was really good and a lot of variety to sample local food. Our tour was in the morning as we had to get back to our cruise ship shortly after noon. Angela insured our tour was well paced to allow for us to relax and enjoy the day. This tour was well worth the price and an expense well spent. Angela proved all the tickets and had arranged for the boat to be ready for us as soon as we got off the cruise ship.
Amazing tour of Ha Long Bay!

5.00We were staying in Hanoi for only two days and really wanted to visit Ha Long Bay. This private tour was perfect for our trip. The hotel pick up and drop off was very convenient because we were staying outside of old quarter. Our guide Johnny was very knowledgeable and explained many history not only about Ha Long bay but also about Hanoi and Vietnam. We took the morning cruise and it was definitely worth going on the cruise in the morning because most of the tourist groups come in the afternoon and you might have to wait a very long time to go through different caves. We had a really great time enjoying the cruise and exploring the caves to ourselves and it was definitely worth the price. Highly recommend!

5.00Hien, our tour guide, provided an excellent tour. Our family of nine participated, and throughout the experience we made several memorable stops. We learned how pearls are made and had time to explore and shop at the pearl factory. We then enjoyed a private boat tour in Halong Bay, where we were paddled through stunning caves. Lunch was provided during the private boat tour, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The final part of the tour was a visit to one of the most beautiful caves, where we walked up 100 steps. The experience was beautifully narrated by Hien and truly unforgettable.
