Our tour guide Phong was very funny and accomodating. His English is very good and provided lots of information during the tour. Will recommend to family and friends.

Phong was a phenomenal tour guide. He responded well via WhatsApp, and kept cracking jokes in the middle of pointing out interesting facts of important landmarks we were passing by. The bus ride was incredibly comfortable and tour was fun. I had no idea what I was getting into, but it was a very smooth experience thanks to Phong. Definitely recommend for an efficient 1 day tour of Ha Long Bay.

The tour picks you up from old Hanoi and takes you out to ha long bay. The tour guide Phong is entertaining and knowledgeable. The boat is clean and the food was substantial. They catered for my wife being a vegetarian. The sites in ha long bay are amazing and they kept the tour moving at a good pace.

Really nice and full day! Tour guide Phong was friendly and helpfull and spoken very good English. The boat was modern and lunch came with extra options for vegetarians. We did a lot, but still had time in between to enjoy the scenery and beautiful sunset!

We had a great time on our Ha Long Bay trip today! The tour was well-organized, and our guide (Phong) both funny and informative. He made sure everyone was having a good time throughout the day and even offered to take photos for everyone and he’s actually really good at it too!
