Robert was a very smart and Knowledgeable Guide. He made the trip as easy as possible. Very welcoming crew at the cruise. Hearty food too.
It was a great day out. Learned a lot from the guide. Great food on the boat. The pace of the tour suited us.
We did a private tour of Ha Long Bay with Robert and it was incredible. Robert is extremely knowledgeable, picked us up and dropped us off in Hanoi, and he knew just when and where to go to avoid crowds. We can't wait to use Love Vietnam Travel for our next trip to Vietnam.
We had a WONDERFUL day with our guide, The, to Halong Bay. He was so kind and informative. We highly recommend lovevietnamtravel.com. Halong Bay is beautiful, and The made sure we had less touristy areas to see, and we explored two caves and took a bamboo boat ride. Truly a highlight of a great trip. Highly recommend that you book a private guide to ensure the highest quality experience to help miss the crowds and get a more personalized narrative of the history, geology, and features of this World Heritage site. Our driver was also superb. A really terrific experience all around.
Fantastic private trip to Halong Bay. Our guide Hai (spelling?) was knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend the trip.
Worth doing a private tour for sure! Robert is the best tour guide there is. Lunch is delicious and there is so much food. Communication was very good the whole time and we were well looked after
Such an amazing experience! When they say private, they mean private. Robert was very knowledgeable and his passion for his country is clear to see. Would definitely book again!
Really enjoyable trip. Robert was fantastic ! Would highly recommend
Private little boat cruise in breathtaking Ha Long Bay today. Boat had a dragon on the front to protect us so… good, I guess. Holds like 48 people but it was just us. Whole boat. Two bathrooms, one chef. Not bad! There are about 1,500 - 2,000 islands and limestone inlets there, it’s not a typo — it’s just endless rock formations popping out of the water in every direction. The views are kinda ridiculous… giant rocks popping outta the water everywhere, misty, quiet… doesn’t even look real - we were served shrimp, sea bass, oysters, oyster shells stuffed with crab meat, pineapple ,,,, Idelicious
Booked a private tour for Halong Bay. Great to have the private transfer from hotel and we have the whole boat to ourselves (big boat capacity for 48pax).. Robert our guide was very proactive in reaching out prior to the trip and sharing history and knowledge during the trip. Food was delicious on the boat as well. Seafood was fresh and the catered for a vegetarian in our group. Enjoyed the moment without crowd and having the whole boat to ourselves admiring the views of Halong Bay.
