Wonderful guide and meal. Was a small group. Nothing to complain about.
We went with 2 kids ages 15 and 12. We had a fun experience on the private tour. Our guide, Hien, was kind and informative. The pickup was on time and smooth. The car was comfortable. We stopped by some pearl farm on the way the. Reached Halong Bay around noon. The boat and crew was good- it was a 48 person tour boat but just 4 of us on board. We had lunch on board which was tasty- mostly seafood . We saw various rock formations and kayaked through some caves, then visited another cave which was the largest and required an easy walk up some stairs to get to. Halong Bay is rather far from Ha Noi but the drive is mostly along the new highway so it’s manageable. Overall a fun experience.
