Review Body: Truly memorable experience I had booked a day cruise in Halong Bay for my father's birthday. After reading through loads of reviews on TripAdvisor, I finally decided to go with Anthony because I felt we would get a great view of the bay by taking a route which was less touristy. We had a great time on the cruise, being surrounded by incredible views of the bay. The tour guide, Hung, was incredibly energetic and friendly. As it was my father's birthday, I had requested Anthony to arrange for a birthday cake during the cruise. Not only was a lovely cake arranged, Hung had planned a great birthday surprise for my Dad. We cut the cake together on the cruise and everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' for him. It was such a memorable experience for everyone on board and I am pretty sure everyone enjoyed the cake as well:) I'm really glad I booked this cruise with Anthony - he is incredibly helpful, fast to respond and reliable! And thanks for organizing such an amazing birthday surprise for my father!

Review Body: Relaxing Ha Long Bay trip We were picked up near our hotel by a comfy mini-bus, then hopped in a nice new boat to Ha Long Bay. There’s about a 15-20 min rest stop before the boat ride. There’s food, drinks and groceries that you can buy. The toilets were clean and lots of stalls. The toilets on the left side facing the rest stop are better. We were given snacks and a bottled water. Lunch was more than enough and was a very tasty feast served per table. We ate the fresh spring rolls that we made, and were served yummy fruits and tea on the way back. The rest, food and drinks can be bought in the boat. Toilets available in the boat with shower if you choose to swim. Was told the Bay water was very salty. After the trip, we were dropped off back to our hotels or other nearby preferred location.

Review Body: Highly recommended Family with 1 small child (6 years old) from Romania. The tour guide, Kimmi, was awesome! The sites were very beautiful, the activities well chosen. The bus ride is a bit too long, but that does not depend on the organization, which was very good from our perspective. Boat trip was especially impressive, even though it rained. Highly recommend this company, with very friendly and helpful staff (we met Anthony, Danny, and Kimmi). We went to Ha Long Bay with them the previous day and it was also great (I think we liked it even more). Best regards, Dan Gabriel.

Review Body: Anthony was our tour guide during our trip from Hanoi to Halong Bay, and a great host at that. He is very knowledgeable and delivers all kind of interesting tidbits with charme and humor. He also is very helpful when you need someone local for how to do the next leg of your trip, like we did. If you are nice to him, he will also sing and prepare some delicious nem for you.

Review Body: Amazing Halong bay and Sunset We loved this amazing one day trip, to Halong bay. The pick up was on time and the guide (Jack) was very friendly. The boat has good conditions and the buffet has variety with various dietary options (Vegans and vegetarian). Has i ferry's and companies, the drinks are paid separately, but they are quite cheap, thought.

Review Body: Ha Long Bay - Day trip One of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever been to and terrific guide Anthony. He kept in contact with me before, during and after the trip. We had delicious food, and great activities with enough time to relax. Anthony has a lot of energy, loves to smile and joke, but most importantly he looks after his people.

Review Body: Anthony the guide extraordinaire Anthony is an engaging, entertaining and informative guide. We enjoyed our overnight La Paci cruise in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay that he led. Food needs improving but activities (kayaking, swimming, trip in a small wooden boat around Lan Ha Bay) were great!

Review Body: Relaxing tour We took mini bus for less than 2 hours and boat for around 1.5 hours to Ha Long Bay. I did enjoy the meal and the spring roll class on the boat! It would be even better if I know swimming as there is a session for rowing and swimming!
