The best tour guide in Vietnam

My favourite part of the trip was Luan, the tour guide. He was an exceptional guide and made the whole experience better than expected. The views are amazing, weather permitting.

Great experience in a small group of 11 ppl

The trip was great. My family got picked up by a limousine bus there and back. The boat belonged to Genesis tour company, and it was in a great state. The food was good, the atmosphere. My family enjoyed a lot. The staff member, Steven, was very responsive and flexible to all my questions and inquiries on tours. My family did 2 tours with them: Mai Chau (wasn't great) and Halong Bay (was great) However, he was unprofessional at times. He mentioned that I was beautiful (without actually seeing my picture) and my voice was great after sending him a voice message and despite saying that it was unprofessional he didn't stop :( Otherwise, I would totally recommend the tour.

Halong bay one night trip

This time I went on a full-day cruise tour of Ha Long Bay with a friend on a group tour. The food was so delicious, I couldn't eat it enough. The tour guide was also very kind and humorous, entertaining us. However, the toilet and shower on the ship were a bit old and the water was not running well.

Great.

Very great tour guide, very serious to explain Any questions can be reflected with him Guides will tell jokes and interact with everyone The whole trip can't be relaxed. Transfer from hotel to return hotel Neither of us are happy. Dining on board is possible The accommodation room on the boat is a little small One must choose a balcony Can relax and stay
