The whole experience was amazing from start to finish.. From the hotel pick-up, the bus trip to the bay, the boat cruise, the caves, and the incredible scenery, everything was perfectly organised.. Our guide, **Thang**, was the epitome of a tour guide extraordinaire.. His knowledge of the history of the sites we passed on the journey, the formation of the limestone structures, and the caves throughout the bay was outstanding. He made us feel as though we’d known him for years. A special thank you to **Thang** and **Tony**, our driver, who was exceptional as well, An unforgettable day. Thank you both!

This trip was great. We had amazing views with great food and the activities were so much fun. Our cruise ship was very nice and so were all the workers you meet. Our tour guide Mike was a certified comedian and had us entertained the whole day. I Highly recommend booking with them!
Our experience was fantastic we really enjoyed the whole trip, especially the kayaking. Our guide, Alex, was very friendly and knowledgable about Ha Long Bay. The ticket prices included made the day smooth and it works out as a similar price to other trips with no tickets included. Would definitely recommend this option to anyone wanting to do a Ha Long Bay day tour.
Good experience overall, guides are good for in depth explanations of things. However at times the experience did feel a little pushy.
