The tour with Johnny was beyond our expectations. Picked up right on time from our Hanoi hotel forr a morning cruise of Ha Long Bay, Johnny was incredibly knowledgeable and provided a great light touch as a guide. The boat and tour of the Bay was incredible and the lunch provided has been one of the food highlights of our trip to date. Thank you so much Johnny for taking my wife and I on this wonderful experience!
Great day! Our guide Lam was very helpful and knowledgeable and made our time very enjoyable! Thank you Lam!
We went with 2 kids ages 15 and 12. We had a fun experience on the private tour. Our guide, Hien, was kind and informative. The pickup was on time and smooth. The car was comfortable. We stopped by some pearl farm on the way the. Reached Halong Bay around noon. The boat and crew was good- it was a 48 person tour boat but just 4 of us on board. We had lunch on board which was tasty- mostly seafood . We saw various rock formations and kayaked through some caves, then visited another cave which was the largest and required an easy walk up some stairs to get to. Halong Bay is rather far from Ha Noi but the drive is mostly along the new highway so it’s manageable. Overall a fun experience.
We had an amazing time with Selina on our private day trip to Ha Long Bay! She was very informative and took her time in explaining things to us. Made the tour very fun and exciting. The tour is great value for money. We really enjoyed the cruise, we were the only 2 people on the boat by chance. There was lots of food provided to us for lunch we were so full! And we had the most fun kayaking in the bay. I would highly recommend this tour for families or couples wanting a private and fun day trip to Ha Long Bay!
