Halong Bay was phenomenal, we took the optional speedboat Ride (at cost, around £10) around the islands which was stunning and very worth it. the buffet lunch was great, there were vegan options for us which was good - but we had to ask a few staff to assertain which were good for us as they weren't labelled as such. our tour guide Long was brilliant, informative and friendly. we also got the chance to canoe through a cave and see some incredible scenery from the water. all in all great day, thank you Long!

Hank our tour guide was great and worked hard to make sure we had a good day. The boat and bus were both very comfortable and spacious, and the food provided was delicious. Just be aware that all the tours do the exact same route though so it will be busy and there will be lines for everything. There’s also a 45 minute stop at a pearl shop that was for us a waste of time and took away from an otherwise great day.

Thanh was super helpful and very knowledgeable, transport, both bus and boat are modern and full of mod-cons, lunch was great value for money and the cruise staff couldn't have been more helpful! Fully flexible for requirements and the itinerary ensuring best use of time. Would recommend and book with them again when next in Vietnam, thank you Thanh!
