What an amazing day. The entire tour was well planned and executed. From the pick up to drop off there were no wasted time. The boat was clean, the food was amazing and Halong Bay was one of the most beautiful wonders of nature. Viet, the guide, was professional and informative.
We had very great experience. The trip included vegetarian food. Caves are good although the kayaking boats often collide with big family boats.
The cruise experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The ship was clean, well maintained, and very comfortable. Food options were great with plenty of variety, and every meal felt fresh and tasty.
This tour was, in a word, exceptional. From the moment of booking to the final drop-off, every detail was handled with professionalism and genuine care. If you are looking for a seamless way to explore the local culture and landmarks.
Very nice cruise, great activities, guide was very kind and co-operative, amazing service, an experience of a lifetime!

This was the most unorganised and chaotic tour,we have ever taken,the tour guide was terrible,never explained anything,rush iff everywhere without us,we couldnt move on the boat when buffett was served,the food was cold,just a terrible exoerience,never again
Kong was an amazing host and gave us the history of the place as we drive there. Very comfortable bus and great experience with great food on board a luxurious boat. Service was impeccable overall and the place magical.
Henry was our guide for the whole. The bus was luxurious with charging points and he provided water to start. We were provided bathroom stop and once near the bay we also headed to see the Ha Long Pearl shop. Once we were near the bay we made it to the our cruise boat top floor, beautiful views, food and drinks. Our group went to Ti top island and hiked to the top and hung out at the beach . Also road on a speed boat round the bay, fun fun, fun. Made our way back to the Hanoi happy and tired. Thanks again Henry with Santa on stick (lol)
