All Northern Vietnam Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 380

The one day tour was well organized with a smoth transportation (even though it took many hours) from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay and back. The tour guide Ken was energetic and hade a lot of interesting information that he shared with us about the places we visited. Ken took good care of our group of 36 people. The best with the tour is first of all the nature and the bay with the limestone islands topped by rainforests The boat was modern and safe and one of the smallest (we were about 90 passagers). This facilitated the boarding and disembarkation during the three stops we had. The lunch was good with with a selection of seafood, chicken, rice and other dishes, suitable for everybody (also adapted to food restrictions). Our experince from the three stops is that they are very organised with litle time for own experiences. All the boats, with a lot of people, are coming at the same time. Still, we had fun participating in the activites on the stops but most we enjoyed the nature, the impressive landscape and the caves. We had a very nice day!

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.

Chi Chi was an incredible guide! She curated a fantastic journey through Hanoi’s hidden gems, introducing us to local delicacies we never would have found on our own. Chi Chi’s knowledge of the city’s food culture made the experience feel like exploring with a local friend. This was the perfect introduction to Hanoi, highly recommended for any foodie!

Had an amazing experience on this tour. Everything went nlike clockwork and there was so much to do. All the staff especially Heen were knowledgeable, polite and courteous. They were always around to help and made sure everything was great. Well worth the money$$$77!

Fantastic trip, our guide (Jason) was very organised and knowledgeable. Pick up was flexible and the journey was stress-free. A really good way of seeing the sights and having a little adventure without worrying about getting around. Had enough time to enjoy, would recommend staying overnight if possible - we let Jason know in advance and it was no problem.

We had an absolutely fantastic day trip to Ha Long Bay. The scenery was breathtaking — limestone karsts, emerald waters, and peaceful surroundings that truly live up to Ha Long Bay’s reputation as a natural wonder. The entire tour was well organized, comfortable, and perfectly paced, allowing us to enjoy the cruise, activities, and sightseeing without feeling rushed. A special mention goes to our tour guide, Mr. Johnny, who made the experience even more memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. His explanations about the history, culture, and geology of Ha Long Bay were very informative, and he was always kind, accommodating, and attentive to everyone’s needs. He ensured the group felt comfortable and genuinely cared about making the trip enjoyable for all. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and highly recommended. If you’re visiting Ha Long Bay, you’re in great hands with Mr. Johnny and this tour — truly a memorable day!

This was one of the best experiences of my life. The guide - Nam - was extremely kind, diligent and knowledgeable. If I could give this 10 stars I would. I chose to drive without an ez rider and felt safe and well taken care of. All you need to do is show up and they will take care of the rest (food, lodging and fun!) This company will take great care of you and offers an experience of a lifetime!

We loved our trip to Ha Long Bay! The boat was very comfortable and our room was gorgeous with a balcony and tub bath. The staff was extremely attentive to our every need. The food was very good, a mix of buffet style for lunch and breakfast and then plated meal for dinner. You do have to pay extra for any drinks you want. The excursions are great, including swimming, kayaking, and bicycle riding. I would definitely recommend the two nights stay because you get to do more activities and the one night seemed very rushed.
