It's one of the beautiful places I’ve ever seen! We did a cruise ride , The views were absolutely breathtaking 😍 The cruise itself was very comfortable, with good food and friendly staff especially Henry. Watching the sunset from the deck was the highlight of the trip
What a lovely experience! We’ve done many activities within ‘only’ one day. Great tour, great guide - many thanks to Henry!
Austin was a great tour guide, very organised and knowledgeable. He is so so kind and funny. Such an amazing tour, we were able to do so much in one day. Definitely recommend!
I am not a fan of group tours and never go for one but Henry has been such an amazing soul and caring person that makes everything seamless. He's extremely knowledgeable of Viet Namese history and really puts his heart in his job. Hercules Grand cruise was really upto it's hype and has decent options for drinks and buffet lunch. Highly recommended if you're doing the Ha Long Bay day cruise from Ha Noi.
We truly enjoyed the full day tour. Our guide, Mr. Henry, planned the trip very professionally and ensured everything was well organized from the moment he picked us up until we returned to the hotel. His explanations and guidance at every location were exceptional and added great value to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would love to travel again with my family in the future. Thank you very much, Mr. Henry, for making this a memorable experience.
It was a great tour, it was so much fun to visit the famous cave (surprising cave), it was so beautiful. The food on the yacht was great and delicious. Our guide Henry was a very friendly guy, he explained everything to us professionally and in a funny way. If you are in Hanoi, you should try this tour
The trip to Ha Long Bay was one of the best days in Vietnam. Sam was funny and very helpfull. Kayaking through the caves was so much fun.
We had an amazing day with our Tour Guide Henry. The whole experience was wonderful and the boat was great. Henry told us so many interesting things about Vietnam and was very funny.
Our Ha Long Bay experience was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was because of Henry. From the very beginning, he made us feel less like tourists and more like travelers-present, engaged, and deeply connected to the place. Henry's attentiveness, knowledge, and genuine care made all the difference. He didn't just guide us through the itinerary; he shared stories, insights, and moments that brought Ha Long Bay to life. Everything felt seamless, relaxed, and thoughtfully paced, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty of the bay and the journey itself. What stood out most was how Henry anticipated our needs and made sure everyone felt included and comfortable. His warmth and professionalism transformed the experience into something personal and meaningful. Thanks to him, Ha Long Bay wasn't just a destination-it became a memory we will carry with us.
The trip to Ha Long bay was thoroughly enjoyable and very organised. The views and ambience was spectacular, the vessel, including food and service was outstanding. Our tour guide Henry was very informative, entertaining and professional, kept us informed and entertained throughout the trip. Would highly recommend this tour to any visitor to Hanoi.
