Best birthday ever for my mom. Thank you! - The views were stunning and my mom really loved it. It was her birthday and she had the amazing time. Tony, our guide was specially looking after her and made sure she has the amazing time. My mom’s vegetarian and Tony took extra efforts to make her feel comfortable and made sure she’s well fed. Thanks so much for all the services. This was worth it. Right from the beginning till the end. Totally recommend! And special thanks to our guide, Tony! :)

Lovely hospitality - The day trip to Ha Long Bay was beautiful, especially the cave. Our guide Tony was very enthusiastic, gave a lot of information, and his instructions were very clear and easy to understand. He took excellent care of us. The vegetarian food also exceeded expectations. Would recommend to most people, just be aware that the steps to the cave are physically demanding in the heat.

1 Day Tour Ha Long - I am a Vietnamese-American visiting Ha Long Bay for the first time.
Starting, the ride from Ha Noi to Ha Long and back was on a very old and squeaky bus. You may get motion sickness if you are not used to with Vietnamese traffic. If you can upgrade your tour, choose the limousine option instead. As the saying goes “you get what you paid for “.
The cruise boat is very nice. Its name is Bình Minh 68. It provides great Vietnamese food and taste. The upper deck has plenty of space for our group. Our visit was on Wednesday, so it isn’t that crowded. Our family enjoyed our time on the upper deck.
Be careful when the waitress ask where you come from. She will use that information to DOUBLE charge you for every service she provides. This is a bad tactic for keeping tourists.
The tour content is great. Our family had a great day. We most enjoyed the kayak through the Luon cave.
The Sung Sot cave is OK but too crowded on this day. It would be better if they add more light to the cave. It is dark and there for cannot show all of its beauty.
Ti Top island provides good beach experience, swimming with Ha Long Bay view.
We got dropped off at the hotel around 9:30 PM.

It was good but tiring - The coordinator, SAM, was friendly and his English pronunciation was easy to understand, so I enjoyed the tour.
However, the tour was quite busy and tiring, as we walked through mountains and caves and paddled kayaks. My clothes got wet. A half-day tour would be a good option, as it would be more enjoyable.

Manifesting to the highest order - Well not often I would write poorly for a Tip Advisor Experience but here goes :
Firstly communication is confusing about where to meet. Very threatening about not being late but they are late themselves which put trip back. Were not told be joined by other groups in the bus which is packed to the gills.
Then the upsell started and to be honest did not conclude.
You go to a pearl place for some so called education. And within minutes you are surrounded by sales people with all items in US dollars are expensive and what was not honest was we had to wear a lanyard with a number showing who the guide we had was so who ever purchased anything he was in for a kickback.
Then we move to a so called coffee and snack area same deal that prices are through the roof of worst coffee in Vietnam.
Still wearing lanyard and guide running hands together.
Then the cruise - prices are high for drinks, then want to sell souvenirs, then shirts, then jewellery and then lanyards for 10 US to protect phones. This was constant and annoying.
Then the guide announcers and pushes for the people to not do the kayaking or wooden boat ride but..:::: yep a speed boat ride at your own cost $20 US per person. Talked people out of what tour offered again a kickback.l for sure.
Then on way back asked if we wanted a tea and coffee and cake - ask for coffee get charged only thing tea free was tea and the cake was two saladas biscuits cream between them - half the size of the normal ones. Cake - stop it.
Also:
Told we would have music, dancing and sunset cruise in way back - not true very little music and sun had set in opposite direction.
I also wonder if the tour guides do their own thing as we were joined on the boat by another group, then the bus again was filled by other people not on our tour.
The other guide was aggressive, demanding and vey off putting. Went on and on and on about being on time like we were his students.
Also knowledge of area was not correct and when pointed out was wrong did not want to own his mistake - rather deflect he only wanted to give facts he gave.
Interesting also get a list of places he recommended for local
Food in restaurants - once again a
Kickback for sure !
Lastly even though the cruise trip staff are paid they come around with an envelope wanting more. Gouging was an understatement.
Allowed 5 months toilet stop only back 2.5 hrs and meant to stop for food no stopping - then Cheekily asked all on bus for a tip- Stop It Be Better.
Will not use again and would not recommend.
