"I visited Halong Bay several times in 1996-1999. It is the first return since I came here this time with my family and a couple of friends from Brussels in Belgium. The difference between my last visit and this one is really enormous: quick and comfortable trip from Hanoi, quick and easy boarding, big and comfortable boat. As always the food has been excellent. Great friendly and flexibility of the crew. We have also enjoyed very much our very able guide Mr Tuan. He is very friendly and professional."

"Today we visit Virgin cave. It must have been one of the most beautiful sites I have seen in my life. the boat stop on one side and we walked over slippery rocks, enjoying the weird echo, into the cave. No people, no colourful lights, just us, climbing over the rocks. on the other side of the caves is a hidden beach and the views are stunning. Even though we were there on a grey, cold, loggy day. It was one of the best days we experienced in Vietnam."

"LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FINDING IT"
"We wanted something different on our trip to Halong Bay. A gentle hike up to a panoramic viewpoint in Halong city was an excellent start and put Halong Bay and its islands into perspective. Our trip was off the beaten track, and we hardly saw another tourist all day. The food was lovely and our guide looked after us really well. The guide's information and a few extra trips made all the difference and helped us to learn a lot more about Vietnam."

"The only agency and best agency for us Shanghai people know about. Their service is professional and good. They have rich expenses in guiding people from different countries around Hanoi. I am a specially talkative person to know about all about this country, but the guide is patient and well understanding "
