What are people saying about Hanoi

Super fun quick trip through Hanoi
This was a great short trip through Hanoi, very easy to fit into a crowded travel schedule, educational and lots of fun. Our guide was informative with excellent communication skills and our driver also had mad skills getting through tiny congested alleys in the jeep! We didn't have time for the longer 4 hours tour but if we're back in Hanoi will definitely do that.

Beautiful views, perfect if you like adventure!
The coaches have strong AC and spacious, comfortable seats. We had a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide Eden. Views are amazing particularly on top of Hang Mua. Although we went in the rainy season (July) we were provided with rain jackets and our schedule was adjusted accordingly. You can still have a great time even if it rains a bit. Boat ride has three caves, very cool and lasts 2 hours. Also go cycling which was really fun. Definitely recommend!

Great experience
This was our first time in Halong Bay. We didn't know what to expect yet this was a great experience to get to know the rich history of Halong Bay and the places we visited. Our favorite spot was the Ti Top peak, which gave a 360 view of the peaks meeting the water and the horizon.
Hieu was very accommodating to our needs, including meeting us at our hotel, which was slightly outside of the Old Quarters. He was early and very friendly with our party. He was also very patient with the people in our group as we had some individuals that were a little complex.
Thank you for the great experience and an awesome adventure!

Amazing, couldn’t recommend enough
Amazing experience. 2nd time doing the loop and still so much to visit & experience
The drivers are all so friendly & speak great English which helps a lot. The groups are usually filled with 6-8 people and again all lovely people.
Accommodation & food is good, they cater for everyone - vegetarians etc
A must do experience

You have to book this tour.
I cannot recommend this trip enough. It was amazing.
You’ll see a lot of ai reviews on these tours but as someone that jumps right to the negative reviews i hope you take the time to read this one.
Been on countless excursions for snorkeling and this one was memorable.
Small group, 10 of us, picked us up from our hotel and great communication that they’d run a few minutes late and had tons of info to give us before hand on what to bring, wear, eat etc.
Super organized and as 3 be try stupid teens travelling their instructions in full english were so clear and for how many vietnamese people i’ve tried to talk to in english these guys really have been practising.
Not only that, but when we got on the bus they were making super funny jokes and were so friendly and just easy to be around instead of stressed and rushed.
They were so polite with us young ladies and were helping us everywhere we go (were fairly clumsy as a group)
We got to the boat they helped us on gave us life vests and such careful instructions their detail on the safety was so good.
I’m a big animal and wildlife girl so the way they were so kind about protecting the reefs and making sure everyone knew how to swim properly to avoid damaging the reef and wildlife was amazing. They did a mini snorkel swim lesson before our first stop in a shallow beach which a lot of the travellers definitely needed.
When we got to the reefs instead of being in huge groups where it’s a free for all they split us up into smaller groups and had a guide stay in the water nearby us and lead us to good areas. Quiet spots where there were no huge crowds in site like a lot of these other tours get badly rated on.
Genuinely such a sweet group of guys running it and they seem like all such close friends it was really cute.
As well the reefs they brought us to were secluded, gorgeous and sooo many fish.
You can choose to wear a life vest or not but i recommend wearing so you don’t get tired of swimming. They also bring tons of water bottles for you to have as many as you want!
When we got to the island to eat and rest at the end the fruit was super fresh and lots of drinks to choose from as well that they offer 1 free included.
Thank you guys so much for a lovely trip we would 100% book again. If you’re looking for smaller group, still so much fun and lots of fish this is the one for you. Love from Leilani, Melisa and Charli ❤️❤️

Memorable day on Ha Long Bay
A great day-trip from Hanoi (total excision was ~9 hours). Boating through Ha Long Bay was beautiful & opportunities to explore caves on foot and by small craft was also fun. An ample lunch served on the boat paired with an excellent and professional guide (Johnny) throughout the day made this private tour a good value. As a bonus we stopped at a pearl factory on the way out which was also quite fun!

Would recommend!
Our trip was great! Our guide Johnny was very knowledgable and attentive for the 7 hour excursion. Easy to find him at the cruise ship port, and quick loading on to the boat. We had 18 passengers, and could have had room for at least 30, so lots of space, which was nice. Clean, available bathrooms. Soda, beer, water available for sale ($1-2 USD), and you do get 1 free with lunch. The itinerary was different than what was on Viator, but it all ended up being great. Went to an oyster & pearl farm, Sung Set Cave, then had lunch (so much food! A set menu, and it just kept coming. After lunch, we visited Luon Cave - we had options to take a bamboo boat (included), kayak (included) or speedboat (~$17 USD), and we had enough time to do 2 of the 3! Finally, we also stopped at Titov Isle - has a viewpoint with about 450 steps, which I didn't do, but we had enough time here to allow that. We stayed at the beach/shops area, which was pretty small. Swimming was allowed, but again, it was very small, so we didn't go in. Johnny was a great guide and the boat crew were wonderful! Great way to see the cool bay area.

Best way to see Hanoi
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

Ask for Vincent! A Fantastic Day in Halong Bay
"I had an amazing day tour with Diamond Era Cruise. Everything was incredibly well-organized from the pickup to the activities. A special mention goes to our tour guide, Vincent, who was friendly, professional, and kept everything running smoothly. If you only have one day for Halong Bay, this is the way to do it!"
Special thanks to entire crew members

Great tour, highly recommend.
Amazing tour. Itinerary was perfect and our tour guide Tony was great. The scenery is absolutely stunning.
Only negative aside from the usual tourist trap bus stops along the way (unavoidable unless you book private transport) was the food on the boat. It was the only bad food we’ve had in Vietnam. The lunches and dinner were OK but the breakfast was very bland with overcooked eggs. The staff on the boat were also pushing us out of our room at 10:15 while we were packing our bags when they said the checkout time is 10:30. They should just say 10:15.
Nonetheless I would highly recommend the tour, just pack a little chilli sauce and some snacks.

Wonderful day out in Ha Long bay
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.

Wonderdul Cozy trip to Ha Long Bay but can get crowded.
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!
