Wonderful trip to Halong Bay with Viator !

Published on Feb, 2025

The trip was truly wonderful! Would highly recommend this to everyone as Halong Bay is the face of Vietnam and an absolute must-do ! The trip was totally private, we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off in a comfortable car and did not have to make any stops anywhere to pick up other passengers which saved us so much time. Our guide Hii was absolutely wonderful, always attentive to our every need and giving us so much useful information about Vietnam and about all the sights we saw. The food was excellent and the crew on the boat were so courteous ! They served crab, shrimp, fish, many seafood and delicious fruits ! The boat is for 48 people but they gave the entire boat at the disposal of only the two of us today! The fishing boat on which we went into caves was fabulous ! Wonderful trip ! Fully worth it! Thanks Viator for such a great trip ! Always wanted to see beautiful Halong Bay!

Halong Bay Private tour with Love Vietnam Travel

Published on Feb, 2025

We were so happy we booked a private tour of Halong Bay with this company . They communicated with us tff by e day before to confirm hotel pick up. They promptly arrived before time . The tour guide Hii was just wonderful. Private car pick up. Smooth drive to Halong Bay. The boat catered to 40 people. But there was just 2 of us. Totally private. The people in the boat was wonderful and professional. We saw the bamboo platform and took the boat to visit 2 caves and lagoons. Saw the chicken island, an underground cave in an island. 4 hour cruise in Halong Bay with a private guide. The seafood was plentiful and tasty, crabs, shrimps, French fries, vegetables, fish. Would highly recommend them without hesitation. Thank you love Vietnam fur a most memorable day.
