Great experience! Guide has arranged for an alternative pick up for us as we don’t stay in Old Quarter and he was very friendly and humorous when bringing us around. Food quality can be better but overall, great experience!

The luxurious amenities, exceptional service, and stunning scenery made for an unforgettable experience. The crew's attention to detail and warm hospitality added to the perfection. If you're looking for a high-end Halong Bay experience, look no further!

We had a lovely time on our day tour from Hanoi to Ha Long Bay. Our tour guide Brian was fantastic always there to help us out and he was very clear with all his instructions. He is such a charm and an angel on our group tour. He is a gem!! The cruise was perfect, the interior of the ship is the best among there is. It is clean and well-maintained. Cheers! There are lots of food choices to choose from and the food is abundant.
