Sunny the best - Sunny is awesome! He is the best guide I have ever had. The organization is good. The bay is something to see in your trip to Vietnam although the latter has become very touristy and polluted.

Ha Long Bay cruise with guide Sunny - A great way to experience Ha Long Bay. Organizers did a great job rounding up all of the attendees. Lunch on the cruise was actually better than expected. Overall a good time. And our guide, Sunny, was fantastic - very entertaining and the guy has jokes.

A great way to see Halong Bay in a day - A fantastic day out- jam packed to get as much out of the day as possible which was great. Food was phenomenal and there was a large portion for the tour so no shortage whatsoever with lots of options to cater. Tom the tour guide was amazing with his passion for his job, knowledge about his country and his charisma.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking to head out to the bay for a day!

Perfect day on Ha Long Bay - The whole day was perfect, from start to finish! Sunny was the best tour guide. He gave us lots of information about Ha Long Bay and general tips about life in Vietnam, and he peppered his speeches with very funny jokes. The cruise ship was very nice and my group had a whole floor to ourselves, which was really nice. I appreciated that the meal was family style, and not a buffet, because we didn’t need to deal with chaotic queues. I wound up being assigned to sit with the other vegetarian guests, which was great because then I made some friends on the trip (otherwise it can be lonely on a 12 hour tour by yourself). I was pleasantly surprised by the large variety of vegetarian options. I had plenty of nice things to eat!
We saw three beautiful sites: we climbed a tall hill for nice views and then cooled off by swimming in the bay; we took a boat ride (I paid a bit extra for the speed boat, which was a lot of fun); and we visited the surprise cave. We got to enjoy stunning views for the entire day as we cruised around Ha Long Bay.
I hesitated a bit about taking this tour because 1) I was alone 2) I needed a special diet and 3) it was very long. However, I can say that it was totally worth it and I will recommend this tour to all of my friends who come to Hanoi!

Almost Five - Enjoyed the convenient pick-up and drop off at hotel. Our guide Alex did a great job keeping our group on time and providing information. The lunch provided a lot of options and was delicious. Make sure you bring water as the boat charges for each can. Unless you’re drinking alcohol then expect to pay. Overall, great scenery and plenty of photo ops. I recommend the power boat add-on, which allows you to see more of the bay.
