          Busy, but have to go to see for yourself
          Ha long bay was great to see and the tour guides made the journey on the coach and ferry very smooth. The kayak and hiking was good, but would not say spectacular. Very busy but to be expected and nothing the tour guides can do about that.

          Our guide Victor was super fun. He opened our bus ride with some ice breaker questions. Asked us where we are from and what is our country known from. The latter one was hard and I wish he would’ve asked something easier such as how to say “it is nice to meet you” in our language. Everything was planned nicely and I didn’t feel rushed at all. We took a 20 minute break between point A to B for bathroom and snack break which was nice. We took the bus to climb 500 steps and were given free time to look around the beautiful place. Next up was cycling and food. We were given an option not to do the first one so he took us to the buffet place. Place was very clean and fancy. There was food for a simple taste palette and Asian foods. My fiancé got his French fries with ketchup and chicken whilst I got every Asian food option. The food was tasty and you could fill up as much as you want to. Next top was the temple which was simple and educating. We moved to the place where you can board the boat. It was incredibly beautiful and we were even give a possibility to row ourselves. My fiancé and I took the most of that possibility. Victor was a lovely guide , fun and outgoing. If we were to ever return he would be our go to guide ANYWHERE. Victor, if you see this, PATATA!

          It's OK.
          Guide was really good, but the "bamboo boat" is actually just a fiberglass boat. Definitely go for the kayaking. The food wasn't great, no sauce in the dishes, just veg and meat. And the Cave is absolutely rammed full of people

          Great bang for your buck
          The tour guides were funny and ushered through the crowds with ease. The entire experience was thoroughly prepared and seamless. Lunch was great and Halong Bay was better than advertised. Highly recommend

          Great Day Exploring Hanoi from the Cruise Ship in Ha Long Bay
          We had a fantastic tour with Selina today. Our driver met us just off our cruise ship, drove us to Hanoi, and Selina took it from there. She was smart, bubbly, and kept us on track for the whole day. I would highly recommend this tour, and especially Selina!

          Poor customer service.
          I Have booked this tour for December 2025 and have sent a message twice enquiring about pick ups for cruise port passengers to the Vietnam Tour Tailor Company via WhatsApp and also messaged them via trip advisor. The company has not responded.

          Delightful Day with Diligent Toan (and Mr. Nam)
          We had a splendid time on the water at Ha Long Bay!! It would not have been possible without our amazing tour guide Toan. He was very knowledgeable about the beautiful island. HISTORY. POLITICS. FINANCE. INDUSTRY. SO MUCH INFORMATION!! Humorous and entertaining while at once being enlightening and sincere. He had excellent time management and group communication skills. The boat and included lunch were very nice. I would take Toan’s recommendation for the speed boat on the second stop. I would trust Toan with my life, as well as entrust him with my first born child. He was the best tour guide ever! #borntobeacomedian #pleasedostandup

          It was ok
          If you are vegetarian the meal is not good. Very good organization but thé guide was too loud and repetitive. Too much inxistence to buy something everywhere. The staff was nice.

          Great Value, kind staff. Victor is the best.
          Had a really nice time on this tour. I met a lot of other nice tourists and our guide, Victor, was fun and very knowledgeable. The places were a bit crowded, but the staff was organized and kind. The boat ride was comfortable and the food was good. I’m not sure why people complain about the drinks. You can bring a reusable water bottle, they just don’t allow single use plastics in Ha Long Bay. I had no problem personally. They provide water bottles before and after the cruise and my 32oz water bottle was enough for the 6 hours. Overall great value for a day trip.

          Perfect excursion for a half-day at port
          Mr. David was our guide for a private tour. He conveniently met us at the cruise port at walked us right outside to the boat. He communicated well in English and was friendly and accommodating. We were able to see caves, took a bamboo boat around a beautiful lagoon, learn about some of the history of Halong Bay and Vietnam. Took a picture of a rock formation that is on their money, the 200,000 dong. Tea and a snack were provided. And we returned well before “all aboard,” which again, was conveniently located at the end of the dock next to where our tour ended. We even had time to go back to the cruise terminal for coffee, before walking back to the cruise ship. Would definitely recommend seeing this UNESCO heritage site, especially if you’re short on time and/or do not want to take the 3-hour car ride to Hanoi.

          A great day trip!
          Great day trip to Ha Long Bay. A long day, but well worth it. The trip is well organised and all is well thought out. Toan our guide was great. He made sure all is going according to plan and took care of all our needs. And with a good sense of humour that made the long drive to and back much nicer.

        The whole experience was flawless! Since the cruise was just our group of friends we were able to decide where to go and what to skip. Our tour guide Windy was very accommodating with every request from dietary restrictions to helping us with web check ins. Highly recommend for people who want a private day long experience of the majestic Ha long bay.

        P.S. Get in touch with them through WhatsApp in order to plan a bit in advance.
