5.00My wife and I enjoyed an excellent experience touring Ha Long Bay. Scenery was spectacular and not reflected in pictures alone. Our tour guide did an excellent job telling the history and character of the Bay and a provided 5 star experience. The ship crew was also very hospitable and added to our great experience. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent private tour! Beautiful bay!

5.00Wow, what a great experience! Honestly, I was skeptical of going to Halong Bay due to the reviews about trash and crowds, but this tour was awesome. Robert was our tour guide, and he was very helpful and knowledgeable from the start. I booked the shared cruise, but it ended up just being my family since no one else booked it. So we had a whole boat to ourselves!! We went the private route, so there weren’t many other boats around. We were in the cave by ourselves and had an amazing and delicious feast for lunch with so many dishes! I highly recommend booking this tour!!
Great tour- would recommend

5.00This was an incredible experience! We are so happy we chose the private experience as opposed to the group one. We got to take a more private route and kayaked through caves all by ourselves. Robert was an amazing tour guide who taught us so much and offered so many photos! Would definitely recommend this to any group!
Breathtaking Ha Long Bay Trip

5.00This experience was phenomenal. From a smooth pick up at our airbnb in hanoi, to an educational pearl farming experience, and finally a breathtaking kayak into isolated and peaceful lagoons, this experience was so worth it. We were provided a several course meal of yummy fresh cooked fishes, and even our friend who preferred no seafood had ample amounts of chicken and tofu dishes prepared for him in advance. This was one of the best parts of my trip to Vietnam and I will always remember it. Our guide Robert especially was so kind and attentive throughout. 10/10!

5.00Robert was an amazing tour guide, extremely friendly, always smiling, and wanting to get to know us as friends rather than just a tour group. He was incredibly informative and made this trip a memorable one. The staff on the boat were also top tier, always working with a smile and very attentive. As a bonus, the food was some of the best on the trip, and were also willing to accommodate those who were unable to eat seafood. Would highly recommend
Had an amazing time on this tour!
