Breathtaking View - Phong was our tour guide and did an amazing job! The trip from beginning to end was very smooth, he accommodated dietary needs of the group and was funny and enjoyable throughout the day, the scenery was breathtaking and the activities were fun and well spaced out. This is a MUST do if you are in Hanoi!

Can’t miss in Vietnam - Plan for a long day, but well worth it. Bring a water bottle with you (not single-use plastic) as they aren’t allowed in Halong Bay. Wish there was more time to swim and hike. I did both, but hiked as fast as I could to the top in order to take a quick dip to cool off. Enjoyable day.

An exceptional tour. - Phong was an awesome tour guide, spoke fantastic English and was very knowledgable about everything, couldn’t reccomend the tour more. I was with two friends from home and we are all 19 but still had a really good time alongside everyone else. Ha long bay is absolutely stunning and the boat we had provided a really good view from all floors, and the edition of good AC when inside. The staff were fantastic and once again Phong our tour guide was fantastic.
