Halong Bay is one of the must-see attractions in Vietnam, even for travelers on a time budget. This full-day tour of the UNESCO-listed bay is the perfect choice if you’re trying to squeeze in a quick trip from Hanoi. Take it easy with all-inclusive transportation plus lunch, and enjoy kayaking, swimming, and hiking to the Ti Top Island vista point.

The cruise itself is very good. The boat is clean spacious and not crowded. It’s worth soending the little higher fare . Also we took the limousine service for pickup from Hanoi that was very comfortable. The guide we got in n the Limousine was a bit loud and was always talking about tips. However the other gentleman on the cruise Ken was a jolly guy and conducted the tour very well. The company took enough care to give us plenty vegetarian options in the food including Veg Spring rolls Veg Pulav Noodles Salad Fruit Dessert to make it a hearty meal. The three standard Islands were covered along with Bamboo boat . We did not do kayaking. But one needs to tip the bamboo boat pilot. Overall amazing experience that ended with a cold beer and fritters and a beautiful sunset.

Luca was our guide - professional knowledgeable and respectful picked us up in old quarter and had amazing seats - had USB port as well as massage seats. We stopped twice for toilets and coffee breaks. Arrived Halong Bay and escorted to a beautiful boat - we joined another small group - same company. We had the two guides explain what was happening. We had choice of excursion - bamboo boat, canoe or high speed boat. We did speed boat which allowed us to see some great limestone features. The lunch buffet was great with less than 28 of us it was a pleasant overall experience on the cruise. On the return journey on the mini van we stopped briefly once. Congratulations Luca this was an extremely enjoyable cruise

Long day, with miss communication between Go Asia rep through WhatsApp and tour guide for pick up time. Luckily we were ready to go (45min earlier than communicated).
Large group with our bus load of 28 and joining another group of the same. Stopped at the pearl farm on the way, which was nice but unnecessary for me.
Boat was nice, with lovely lunch onboard. Halong was beautiful (as expected), but sadly way over commercialized. So many boats (same as ours) it was almost a traffic jam at the first stop. Eldest daughter and I did the 440 steps to the top of Ti Top for the view (spectacular!), but the swimming area was quite dirty where my youngest and husband stayed (disappointing!). Caves were nice and kayaking was a bit of fun.
Our bus seemed a bit older and the trip home was made to feel longer with other cars and buses overtaking us on the expressway.
Our tour guide Dave was lovely, good english and good organization.
Overall a nice day and a chance to see such beauty shouldn’t be missed. Good price for what we got.

The tour was very impressive and wonderful. You can go hiking swimming and kajaking. Every single stop was great (could be much longer but I know you have to be in time...) Perfect for the price and time I think

The booking process and tour was very simple and the company did a good job following up with us immediately after booking. It was a very good trip for the price. There are a lot of activities squeezed into the 5 hours, so be ready to move quickly. The sites (Titop, Amazing Cave, and Bamboo boating) were incredible so I am glad they could fit them in to a single day. The staff was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. My only critique was the meal wasn’t overly impressive (the chicken was rather dry), but again relative to the price it was good. — Side note drinks are not included, but I believe that is the case for most cruises in Ha Long Bay.
