Worth ever penny!!!

5.00The knowledge of the area from our guide was super informative and interesting and he spoke very good English. Also made sure we got the best places for photo opportunities and the lunch was AMAZING and filling and a wide variety for everyone’s taste. The caves were definitely a highlight! And the kayaking was so much fun and relaxing. The private tour was definitely worth every penny. Especially if this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience it.

5.00My wife and I were collected by private car at our hotel in Hanoi and taken to Halong Bay by our excellent driver Hung. We were joined by our guide Robert who was a really nice guy and very knowledgable. We boarded a beautiful boat called White Tiger which transported us around the beautiful Halong Bay. We visited the beautiful Thien Chung Cave . It had no crowds as we were on a private tour. Later, we were presented with an incredible 10 course seafood lunch which included oysters, giant prawns, squid, fresh snapper, stuffed crab and spring rolls together with fresh local vegetables and fruit. The whole day was and amazing experience and one we would highly recommend. Our special thanks to Robert who helped to make the day so special for us!!

5.00Could not have asked for a better day it was the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide Robert was phenomenal! He was very knowledgeable, and so nice and welcoming. Everything went smoothly from the drive from Hanoi to the cave visit, the cruise on the bay and the ride back to Hanoi in ample time for an evening engagement. Having the entire boat to ourselves was amazing. Lunch was delicious and plentiful. Thank you Robert for a perfect day.

5.00Highlight of 10 days in Vietnam. Our guide Robert was exceptional. Would highly recommend. The whole experience went very smoothly. We booked a private tour. We were picked up promptly at our hotel in Hanoi and driven to HaLong Bay in a private car. Also had a huge boat to ourselves in the bay. Avoided the crowded caves and routes of the group tours and could admire the caves and bay without the crowds. Lunch was amazing.Robert was extremely nice, spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable about the bay.

5.00Amazing experience. Picked up early from the airport and they were flexible to pick me up earlier with little notice the night before. My tour guide Tommy (Dương Tùng) was the best. Very friendly, very organized, and knew a lot about Vietnam. I had the whole boat to myself with a clean bathroom, a friendly crew, and good lunch. We even stopped by a Pearl workshop on the way back and I got to see how they cultivate pearls. Amazing value!!! Can’t recommend enough- do it!
Great day on Halong Bay
