Traveler Reviews
Phong was a great guide with some good jokes. Really enjoyed the tour.
I enjoyed the trip. I especially enjoyed the speedboat ride. The food on the boat was excellent and the crew helpful. The only downside were the queues to do some of the activities. However when I booked the trip it was going from the international cruise terminal. I was informed just before the excursion that the trip was going from a different terminal. I didn’t realise the other terminal was a 20 minute taxi ride. Had I known this I would have left my ship earlier and not had the pressure then of getting the taxi and nearly missing the trip.
Today was lovely! My brother and I really enjoyed ourselves. Ken was informative, patient, funny and made the whole trip go smoothly! Thank you so much team!
It was amazing activity the tour guide Tom was good and very knowledgeable
A great experience in Ha Long Bay! With breathtaking landscapes, calm waters, and unique rock formations, it was simply unforgettable
Henry was amazing, very knowledgeable on all things Hanoi and Halong Bay with an amazing itinerary. Thank you Henry and Driver for an unforgettable experience!
We loved our day trip to Halong Bay. Our guide, Sonny was knowledgeable and so friendly and helpful. All the staff on board were so attentive. The food was great as was the itinerary. I would definitely recommend.
The trip was very well organised. Food on-board was delicious, we had time to explore caves and kayak as well as see an additional island. On the way back we were provided with fruits and some snacks. It was an incredible day trip. Worth it!
Amazing day trip to Ha Long Bay as a group of 4 girls. Great value for money. The activities were well organised and a lot of fun. The food was delicious and the sunset party was a lovely extra. The boat was clean, comfortable and spacious, staff on board were lovely and helpful. Our tour guide's name was Dylan he had great English, was friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour! Overall the trip was fantastic, would highly recommend!
An Unforgettable Experience! Having recently returned from the Halong Heritage Luxury Cruise, I am absolutely thrilled to share my 5-star experience. From the moment we were picked up in the luxurious limousine till the moment we were dropped back, every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned and executed. The cruise through the stunning landscapes of Halong Bay was nothing short of magical - a sight to behold and a memory to treasure. The staff aboard the cruise deserves a special mention. Their attention to detail, prompt service, and warm smiles made us feel right at home. The food
the boat ride was fun and lunch was very good..the steps going into caves were very busy and slow walking up..but the caves were great to see..kayaking was fun but we were a bit rushed with the time..but overall it was a fun day
O guia Andy e a tripulação foi muita gentil comigo, o dia estava ensolarado, a comida muito boa só tenho elogios!
