We went on the tour with tourguide Sam and he and the whole tour was really amazing. Everything was organised very profesionally and Sam gave is all the information about the places we are visiting. The bus and the cruise were really good and comfortable. On the cruise we had lunch which was okay (nothing spectacular, but you could eat quite a lot to not be hungry). When we were going back we received some free snacks which was really nice. Drinks are not included in the price so take that into consideration when making a booking. We really recommend the tour and the guide!

Richie was our guide and was very communicative, sending WhatsApp message the day before with details on pickup from my hotel. He also did well at informing us of the days events, before we arrived and during the day. The tour was great. Nice boat with buffet lunch. Undercover option on top of the boat making for cool and covered relaxing to take in the beautiful Halong bay. Tour included a visit to surprising cave, Hang Luon cave for a bamboo. Oat or kayak ride. An additional sped boat ride was offered for 300k dong in addition to the boat/kayaks which was great fun and would highly recommend

The cruise was very good. the menu was excellent. Halong bay is a much visit place. Also the treatment and service were very good. They constantly followed up and when a small incident occurred they did their best to handle the matter and make sure we didn't get into any sort of issues over it. all in all a very pleasant experience
