Brilliant tour
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Pete. He was so knowledgeable and gave us a great insight into Vietnam’s history along with a tasty banh mi lunch stop & a fun trip to train street. It was great to have the AC car waiting for us to cool down in and to be able to personalise the itinerary to suit us. Thanks Pete the tour was a real highlight of our time in Hanoi

Amazing trip!
Overall, an amazing experience! The food on the boat was great, the service was fast and friendly, and the kayaking was truly awesome.
A few things worth knowing, though. We stopped at two “tourist trap” spots on the way there and back, where we had to keep saying no to pearls and jewelry. Two people in our group were stung by jellyfish while swimming, so definitely be aware of that. There was also a massive amount of trash in the bay. There were some cleaner pockets, but overall it was a shock, and the crew had to clean up a ton in the swimming area before we could get in. I’m not sure if that’s typical or just our day. Still, it was an amazing tour and I’d recommend it. I just think it’s worth knowing about the not-so-perfect parts too.

So awesome!
Such a beautiful and unforgettable experience in Halong Bay! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the whole tour was so enjoyable from start to finish. 🥰🌊
Special thanks to our super bait and patient tour guide!! Me. Hiến!! 🥰♥️📣
He was very accommodating and genuinely caring throughout the trip. We accidentally left something inside the cave, and he was so kind enough to wait for us and make sure we were able to get it back. 🥹❤️
We truly appreciated his patience and kindness. He made our Halong Bay experience even more memorable. Highly recommended this tour, especially because of the amazing service and wonderful tour guide! ✨🇻🇳

Sunny (Vu) made this trip...
Sunny (Vu) made this trip unforgettable. His energy never dipped, and his passion for Vietnamese history came through in every story he told — he had a way of making the past feel vivid and alive, not just a list of dates. Beyond his knowledge, he was incredibly thoughtful in the small ways that matter most, like making sure we had ponchos ready before the rain started. From start to finish, he guided us with genuine care and enthusiasm. Highly recommend requesting Sunny if you can!

Hiu was a fantastic guide...
Hiu was a fantastic guide for our Ninh Binh day tour. Punctual, friendly, and full of knowledge about the area — he made the history come alive and knew all the right timings to beat the crowds. Great English, great photos, and he took us to a wonderful local spot for lunch. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. Highly recommend!

Scenic and Awesome Day!
This was an awesome trip. The buffet was excellent and delicious. There were so many dishes to chose from especially in the seafood section. The tour was well organized. The views were awesome. It felt like you were on a regular cruise. Drinks were not included but sold at a decent price. Fantastic Tour!

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!

options: “On‑Time, Efficient, and Excellent Service”
Pick‑up was perfectly on time right at the airport gate, and the transfer to my hotel was fast and efficient. The driver even stopped to help me sort out my MiFi, which was a thoughtful touch. On departure, the service was just as reliable—arriving early and guiding me smoothly through the airport. Overall, the transfer was excellent and stress‑free. Expect punctuality, efficiency, and helpful service. From arrival to departure, everything ran seamlessly, making the journey easy and comfortable.

Halong bay from the water
This tour, with David, was quite enjoyable, and his energy was contagious. From the fishing villages to the caves all was unique and interesting. The visit to the family owned oystery was nice, and the pearl shop was very good. The meal on the boat was enormous and tasty.
Be ready to walk a lot of stairs in the cave.

Great boat and service for overnight trip
Great service, staff food etc. I would flag this isn't a tour as such. Boat goes 45 mins to one bay and it stays there the whole time with 40-50 other boats. Everywhere is crowded for this reason so be aware if you're looking to explore off the beaten track more

Great private tour of Hanoi highlights
Terrific private tour with Jun as our great guide. We were picked up at the ship, no long walk. It was helpful that Jun joined us in Halong and gave us lots of local information on the drive. Do plan two hours to Hanoi and plan lots of walking since old Hanoi is a maze of small streets. Our driver was superb, navigating crazy Hanoi traffic. The tour is customized to what you want, but it is impossible to see everything so some advanced planning is useful. Jun recommended a local restaurant for lunch, not the usual hotel buffet.

Very good service. Room...
Very good service. Room are clean and nice. Well organize for transfer between transportation. Perhaps one should be careful about the food at rest stop (quality is quite bad). Also the transfer bus are not all the same, most are super nice like business class but the one between ha long bay and Hà Nội is much smaller and quite old, rough ride for 3 hours. Hope to see the better one next time
