What people are saying about Ha Long

This was a fantastic tour, unfortunately the weather was not on our side - but that didn't stop us having a lot of fun and seeing some amazing sights. Robert our tour guide was phenomenal - perfect English, funny and informative - but also knew when not to talk and left us to chat amongst ourselves, or rest on the bus. This tour packs so much into a day and was such good value for money, I recommended it to all the friends I met in Hanoi. Thanks for a great day!

Great communication with our trip organizer. Our boat was by Theatre Cruises and we even got a room upgrade. Food and service on the cruise was really good. The mix between activities and spare time on the boat felt reasonable.

We had a great time on the boat. Cong and the entire crew were amazing. Food was also really delicious. We loved the kayaking and relaxing on the upper deck - views of the bay were unforgettable!
