“Richie was the tour guide and pickup coordinator. We spent the first hour riding the bus to pick up other guests until arriving at the Opera House to collect the remaining guests. On the trip to Ha Long, Richie provided very little information about Hanoi, Halong, or Vietnam. I was expecting to learn something from the tour, but was disappointed by the lack of stories offered by the guide. Maybe he was tired and just wanted to sleep during the ride. Although the luxury bus was comfortable, the step to get aboard or depart was quite big with no portable step to break the distance into two steps. Overall, the…”

Review of a 2-day Halong Dragon Bay cruise from Hanoi, with private balcony cabins, kayaking, caves, meals, transfers, and practical tips.

“What an incredible experience. Big bus came and picked us up and took us all the way to the ocean. We then boarded a transportation boat, which then took us to the dragon. All the activities were fun, including going on a boat going swimming and tai chi in the morning with a little bit of kayaking. This is definitely a once in lifetime experience. But more importantly our guide Mr. Bruce Lee was awesome and then just getting to know people from all over the world. Australia, England, New Zealand, Germany, Canada in the US. They gave plenty of time for us to bond with other passengers which makes…”

Review of a 2-day Ha Long Bay 4-star cruise from Hanoi, with sea-view cabins, kayaking, caves, meals, and practical booking advice.

“The activity was great! the transportation from the hotel to the bay and back was extremely smooth. The cruise itself can be a little better in terms of time management. the rooms are spacious, clean and the air conditioning was fantastic however, we spent 20-30 mins on the beach and kayaking which wasn't enough time to enjoy the experiences. The cave visit was marred by waiting in extremely long lines even though the inside the cave, the views were impressive. Also, you won't get any beverages like water or juice with the food. you will have to buy coffee, tea etc if it's outside the "high tea" time. Hot water…”
