Tuan is very friendly and an extremely professional tour guide. He is very particular about providing the tourist the whole package of experience and enjoyment. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and thanks to Tuan had added value through his insightful commentaries about the tour sites and the Vietnam history, sugnificance of sites such as Halong Bay, Hanoi, the cave etc. The whole tour group was very appreciative of his efforts to keep everyone safe and happy. I would have no hesitation to recommend Tuan to any tourist or visitors to Vietnam and wish him all the very best!

We were greeted at our hotel by Tom Nguyen, our guide for the tour. For the journey to Ha Long Bay he was a perfect host, making sure we all got to know each other and the staff and gave us a very knowledgeable talk on the history of different areas. We got to the boat and were greeted by other friendly staff with refreshments and shown our cabins. The balcony rooms are small but have everything you need and have a wonderful view of the bay, If you don't have a balcony though the upstairs has sun beds and they serve cocktails in the evening. The itinerary has something for everyone, paths to the top of the island for views and also swimming, kayaking etc. Perfect trip! Would recommend to everyone and if you have Tom as a guide then you are in good hands.

The cruise and staff were great, However Halong bay was very touristy. You couldn�t fault the cruise itself, they made the experience great and it is a good thing to tick off the list. Each stop you was inundated with other tourists. There was rubbish everywhere you looked in the water and on the islands. We had Tuan as a guide who was lovely.

Wonderful and affordable 2 day/1 night cruise. I booked last minute and thought the deal might be to good to be true, but the cruise was as promised. Room was nice, crew was very friendly, and the food was great. For me, the smaller size boat was perfect. I was traveling alone, but by the end of the first meal, everyone on board was good friends. Even though I only did the 2 day, there was still time some time allotted for hiking, swimming, kayaking, and exploring a cave. Luca was a great host and gave a lot of history along the way.
