Johnny was very detailed with explanations. Great tour!
Very beautiful, great guide Johnny
Hien was very knowledgeable and patient with us and really gave us a good insight of Hanoi and the Hanlong bay, The boat ride itself was calm as was the sampan ride we opted for in lieu of kayaking and well worth it as we saw the inside of lovely caves and explored the limestone shapes. Amazing!
Our tour guide Jonny was brilliant. Great tour and amazing views
Johhny was a very good tour guide!

Brilliant private trip to Halong Bay. Well worth the early start as we seemed to be just ahead of all the other visitors. Super smooth journey there and back to Hanoi. Our guide, Johnny, was very knowledgeable, not just about Halong Bay, and great company for the day. Highly recommended!
Johnny is great! He helped us with booking so much travel and so many of our commutes. He was extremely professional and was able to help us at all times of the day with changing reservations due to our changing schedule. He was very attentive, constantly checked on us, and ensured our travel was comfortable and seamless. I’d 100% recommend all travelers to make use of Johnny’s services!
Our guide, Johnny, was very knowledgeable, not only for this specific trip, but Vietnam in general. He pointed out things along the way, explaining everything thoroughly, and made recommendations of other sights to see, and what types and where to buy hand made crafts.
