        Jackie best tour guide ! 😁
        Jackie was our tour guide and he was great. So kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Made lots of jokes and very helpful with my allergy as I am gluten free and there is not a lot of awareness in Vietnam around this. Highly recommend

        Jackie took care of us during this amazing trip! He picked us up, made sure everyone felt ok in the bus, shared free water and was constantly making sure the whole group was following him/his instructions. Halong Bay is beautiful. Jackie gave us some extra info here and there, which added to the experience. Food on the boat was ok, various options, clean, nothing special.

        Breathtaking, 5 stars experience!!
        Ha Long bay is wonderful! Moreover, Brian was the most amazing tour guide ever. Not only he explained us the historical and cultural background of the places we visited, but he was also very friendly and caring, everything was very well-organised! We did many activities (hiking, swimming, kayaking, bamboo boat, dancing) and the food on the boat was great. Definitely recommending the experience itself and Brian as a tour guide

        It was an amazing experience. A full days worth of activities. The bus was great. It has individual seats, wifi & phone chargers. The views are worth the 3 hour drive. Jacky was an amazing tour guide.

      I had a great time there, we had a delicious local lunch before kayaking. The food here is so good, I love spring rolls so much. The price total for the tour is reasonable, and the tour guide is so friendly and helpful.

      After preliminary research some cruise operations will take you to shops on the way to Ha Long Bay. This cruise operation had no such stops.

      We were picked up by bus right outside of our Airbnb in Hanoi around 8 am. We made one bathroom stop on the way. There’s a lunch followed by kayaking, swimming, a spring roll cooking lesson, and a quick cave tour as we departed Ha Long Bay.

      The boat was well kept and the scenery was unbelievable. Hung was awesome. He gave interesting history lessons throughout the day which I really appreciated too.

      Super fun group and excellent and enthusiastic guide (thanks Hung!).
      Worth paying a premium price for the abundance and quality of the food ( plenty of high quality seafood and more) and for the high number of different activities done.

      This was a really good day out. Hotel collection, coach to coast and a day cruising Halong Bay in a nice boat that had plenty of room. Lunch was excellent and staff pleasant. Hung, the guide, was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable and really helped to make the day a special one. Recommended!

      It’s the best and most efficient way to see Halong bay. Tran, the guide, is extremely patient, accommodating and fun. He gave us useful information about Halong bay & things to do before stopping. It was an awesome experience on Kayaking time. Highly recommend!
