I had an absolutely amazing experience on my private Ninh Binh tour, and I cannot recommend it enough! Everything was perfectly organized, and having a private tour made it even more special and flexible. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our guide, Su. Su is simply exceptional. She is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what she does. Throughout the day, she shared fascinating insights about the history, culture, and local life in Ninh Binh, which made every place we visited so much more meaningful. What I appreciated the most was how attentive and thoughtful she was. Since it was a private tour, she adapted everything to my pace and preferences, never rushing and always making sure I was fully enjoying each moment. As someone who loves photography, I especially appreciated how she helped me find the best spots and even assisted with taking photos—she really understood what makes a place special. The entire day felt smooth, relaxed, and perfectly tailored thanks to Su’s excellent organization. I felt completely taken care of from start to finish. If there were 100 stars, I would give Su 100 without hesitation—but since the maximum is 5, she deserves every single one of them! Thank you, Su, for making this such a unique and memorable experience. I will never forget this tour!

Our trip was great! We had Vu as our guide, a Black H’Mong woman who has lived in Sapa her whole life. She is very knowledgeable and friendly, her English is very understandable. The hiking had steep downhills so definitely wear shoes with good traction. Trekking poles would have been great but we didn’t pack any. We did the tour in mid-March so the fog was pretty thick, but we still got some good views. The bungalow didn’t have heat, but the bed was heated and there were nice hot showers.

Weather wasn’t great. But the tour itself was. Nature in Han La bay is beautiful. You might even see some monkeys. I did the trip from and to Hanoi, which can be very tiring. But it was the only 1 day tour I found from Hanoi. If you can go to Cat Ba island first (or stay there after), makes it easier. Tour was incredibly well organized, people come from Hanoi, from Cat Ba and leave in Cat Ba or Hanoi (or airport) and it’s all organized perfectly. The guide speaks very good English and is funny. Special note for the food. They give you a great meal with lots of different seafood! All fresh and good.

This is an amazing tour, a great way to see Hanoi. It shows all the best bits with wonderful local knowledge. We had Tu as our guide and I can’t recommend him enough, he was so knowledgeable, friendly, funny and made us feel welcome. Special mention also to the driver Mr V (ex military) who always found parking spots nearby and managed to negotiate the chaotic traffic in Hanoi City. If you only do one tour in Hanoi then do this one, as it was memorable, educational and fun to spend time with Tu

Lovely trip & well executed. The boat was a good size for our small group & also very comfortable. Lunch on the boat was also good. Cruising through the bay was beautiful. Amazing to see all the rock formations. The drive to Ha Long bay was long though.

From the moment we were picked up in a luxury bus (with seats like business class plane) to getting on the boat, we were treated so well by our wonderful guide, Jake. The whole day was so well planned, with 3 fabulous stops on the cruise to explore beaches and caves. It was a busy day, with many crowds from multiple other cruise ships, but it did not impact on our day as we all really enjoyed ourselves. The food is quite nice, with a surprise sunset party on the roof while sailing home. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to have a special day out in Ha Long bay.

The cruise was wonderful. The boat and crew ensured our every need was met. They fed us so well, we couldn't finish our plates most of the time...We really appreciated how they inquired and considered our dietary needs(wife and daughter are celiac). They kept us busy with activities like visiting Titop Island(too many tourists), a hike to a cave(also super busy), and an evening spring roll making which was great. The next day we went kayaking and checked out a pearl farm, which was pretty interesting. Overall, it was an active 2 day trip with plenty of time for relaxing. Thank you Cozy Tours!

Fabulous day. The catamaran was very comfortable with loads of space. The sofa and chairs were great for relaxing. There is a bar and a jacuzzi. Waterslides too, for those who like them. Most of all the guide Xin chào was excellent. He kept us well informed, ran the whole day very professionally. The food on board is also excellent. The coach transfer is comfortable.
