Private Ha Long bay day trip(From Hanoi city or Halong harbour)

Incredible private Tour. Picked us up at our Airbnb and had a wonderful trip to Ha Long Bay. Our guide Hien, explained the history along the way and our private boat was waiting for us in the Marina. Our meal was excellent, and the kayak trip amazing, finished it off with some cave exploration. It was great to get out of the city for a day. Thank you.!

No issues meeting up with our guide. Our guide, Angela, spoke very good English and was so knowledgeable. She was sweet and kind as well. It was a very comfortable, clean boat with restrooms. The tour took us to a beautiful cave where we walked through with Angela. It was amazing! We then had the choice of kayaking or taking a wooden boat tour around beautiful grottoes. Both fun options! We slowly made our way back, and had several rock formations pointed out to us. A delicious Vietnamese lunch was then served. Alcohol beverages were available for purchase. It was a wonderful day! Highly recommend this tour. You will be well taken care of, and totally delighted! Thank you Angela!

The tour was very nice, beautiful scenery, only me and my husband, it was amazing The seafood lunch was very delicious. The tour guide Ha was very nice, friendly and knowledgeable

All we wanted we got: a private transfer to Halong Bay and a cruise. As we booked the private tour option, we had the ship for our own. Food was great on the boat (way too much for 2 persons) but outside the tour company. It is prepared by the ship owner. The tourguide was ok, we figured out she is doing mainly group tours and not really set for private tours. The details were missing, sometimes there were misunderstandings due to the languague barrier. Several jokes she made can be done on a group, but when you are not familiar with the EN-languague - just donˋt do it. The stop at the pearl farm was completely for nothing (we did not want it, but the tourguide mentioned that the driver needs to have a rest). Time-wise: it is exactly the schedule for the group tour. As you are always faster on a private tour, the boat was floating on minimum speed just to waste the time (and weˋre not getting back too early). There should be a difference in between the group tour and the private option. Based on the price we paid it was ok for European Standard and not to discuss. As I started with the review: we got what we wanted. But if you have more expectations - maybe just book the group tour.

Nam was an amazing guide. He was kind, knowledgeable, smart and took very good care of me and my wife. The private cruise and the bamboo boat experience leaves one with unforgettable memories. Strongly recommend the tour
