Highly Recommend!! - This tour was fantastic, our tour guide Henry made the day very enjoyable and everything ran very smoothly. The bus ride to Halong Bay was well organised, and the bus itself was clean and comfortable with good A/C. The boat trip was beautiful and the food provided was nice. The activities were very enjoyable and Halong Bay itself was stunning. I highly recommend anyone visiting Hanoi to go on this tour!

Definitely recommended - It's a shame that the weather wasn't nice because the tour would have allowed us to see beautiful views. Punctuality and friendliness of the guide especially during the visit to the cave

Hazy experience - The 4 star is because of the weather. It was foggy and rainy and we saw everything in a haze.
The trip would have been excellent but for the low visibility.
Buffet lunch was great. Evening, wine and cookies were served. Will do the trip again on a sunny day.

Worth taking the trip - The tour was fine. The bus trip around 2 hours. The guide was very friendly and kind. It was very interesting to see all the limestone mountains. And the cave was the part that left us breath taken. What we didn’t enjoy was the food. It wasn’t terrible but it was very whatever to us. We wanted to upgrade to the buffet in the better boat but the agency never answered my messages and when we arrived it was not possible.
