We had Tony as our guide, he is a cheerful guide with a very bubbly personality, we were lucky to have him. The trip went according to plan, definitely recommend. Kayaking was great! We also loved the surprise cave. At Ti Top Island short swim is available even when the weather (about 20degrees C), bring swimsuit for the experience.

Amazing tour. Very comprehensive and literally includes everything that you would need or want to do in Ha Long Bay. Our tour guide Phong was excellent, he was friendly, open to all questions and spoke very good English. The huge benefit is that it allows you to see Halong bay all in 1 day! Couldn’t recommend this tour more.

Halong Bay is an enchanting destination located in Northern Vietnam. It is filled with friendly locals, delicious seafood, and picturesque seascapes that make it a must-visit for travelers. The bay is filled with thousands of limestone karsts and islets, creating an almost mystical atmosphere. The locals are incredibly friendly and hospitable, and are more than happy to share their culture with visitors. The seafood is fresh and delicious, and can be found in a variety of restaurants that line the bay. The seascapes are breathtaking, with the sun setting over the horizon and the limestone karsts creating a unique silhouette in the sky. There are a variety of activities to do in Halong Bay, such as exploring the mystical caves, kayaking, and visiting the floating villages. No matter what you do, Halong Bay is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

It was an amazing experience to see Ha Long Bay. The sights were breathtaking. Our tour guide, Phong, was an excellent tour guide. He gave lots of background details of all the sights we visited, and he took the best pictures of me and family on the trip. I highly recommend this tour if you’re in Hanoi.

My husband and I absolutely loved our day cruise around Ha Long Bay. The photos simply don’t do it justice—this visit is an absolute MUST. What views and what fun! There was food aplenty, even vegetarian options. I only wish we had time during our honeymoon for a longer excursion.
