Get Mickey for your Sun Cot Cave Guide - Our tour Director Mickey was the best tour director we have ever had. With an eye problem he helped take photos with my phone, spoke perfect English and was just a loveable young guy. *****

Ha Long Bay Boat Tour - We had a blast! The tour guide unfortunately had to take one of the people on the tour to the hospital as a result of an accident embarking the boat.

Top Excursion in HaLong Bay - The day was beautiful…a little crisp but perfect for layering. Sonny was a thoughtful, flexible and obviously experienced guide. We toured HaLong Bay by boat, saw limestone islands as far as the eye could see, walked up to some of the most awesome caves I’ve ever seen, had a beautiful Vietnamese buffet lunch on the boat, toured a lagoon to see many monkeys enjoying the tourists, and returned to port. It was one of the top excursions we took while visiting Southeast Asia!

Serene Experience - This was a great day trip, made all the better by Johnny the tour guide.
He contacted us the night before by WhatsApp to arrange our meeting point, guided us throughout the day and was very knowledgeable.
The itinerary was packed, but very do-able and the time flew by.
The Pearl Farm was an unexpected addition to the itinerary, but very interesting and informative.
Seeing the monkey up close on the bamboo boat trip was a bonus and the food on the boat was much more than we had anticipated.
The cave was spectacular and the walk up to the viewing point on Titop island, although challenging was well worth the effort.
The docking procedures for the boats were a spectacle to behold and all in all this was an excellent trip and great value for money.

Ha Long Boat Trip - Well organised. Great guide (Jonny) 10/10 who was informed, personable and very attentive throughout.
4 stops all interesting (the pearl farm surprisingly so). Lunch included was really good. Be prepared for a bit of clambering on and off boats but crew always on hand to help.
Optional speed boat (not expensive, about £12 each) was epic. Must do.
Overall a definite highlight of our Asia trip. Big thanks to Jonny and boat Crew.
Recommended.

Best Day Ever!!!!!! - This turned out to be the best day of our trip. Our tour guide, Johnny, was the best ever. On our boat we had a great bartender, Jaycee, and excellent service from Anna. The boat and lunch were also outstanding. Perfect stops. Wonderful communication. The value is believable. Don’t miss this tour!!!
