A perfect day. Round trip in a comfortable little bus with discreet and pleasant travel companions. A well-designed itinerary, with flexible excursions in Halong Bay, meal breaks, and free time. And above all, a fully English-speaking tour guide, Mr. Ben, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful without being intrusive. This mini-tour is absolutely recommended, especially for a getaway during a business trip.
The trip was great. Good bus and boat ride. Food was ok could have been better. Carry your own water cans as they don't allow plastic water bottles
Ruby is absolutely Great! Very accommodating to the point of Awesome support, from start to finish you will have her support and contact with her day and night
The views were amazingly good. The food arranged on the cruise was good. Alan our guide took good care of us. We had a memorable tour.
Ben was AMAZING! So kind and funny and made sure to connect back to our culture. The views were beautiful and we managed to do so much in one day!
Picked up in a very luxurious mini bus the cruise boat was very impressively equipped excellent food was served by amazingly helpful staff the cruise itself was extensive and all we could have expected the tour guide was a very good organiser everything went smoothly
Very nice bus, the boat was very modern with a great buffet lunch and sunset party with music and snacks. Tour guide was friendly and helpful leading up to the tour with information which was greatly appreciated.
wonderful view. very organized. plan on a full day for sure. plan ahead for dinner upon arrival back to Hanoi.
After going on a small group day trip to Ninh Binh the day before, we weren’t sure how a large tour group (~50) would go. However, we were all thoroughly happy with the experience. Although the timing was relatively short at each stop, it felt like enough. The sunset cruise back was also relaxing and beautiful. Ben our tour guide was the best! He was funny, knowledgeable, and very personable. He made the trip great!
This one-day trip to Halong Bay has left me with wonderful and unforgettable memories. Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to our guide, Mr. Ben, for his detailed explanations of the attractions and his humorous and engaging style, which made the entire journey lively and enjoyable. His professionalism and enthusiasm created a delightful atmosphere throughout the trip. Furthermore, I was impressed by the punctuality of the bus transfers and the modern facilities on board the boat. The cabins were very comfortable, and the entire fleet appeared to be very modern. The lunch served was amazing, abundant and delicious, allowing us to enjoy both the magnificent scenery and exquisite cuisine – truly a perfect day. Overall, this one-day trip to Halong Bay has left a profound impression on me. I want to thank our guide, Mr. Ben, and all the staff involved in this journey for their meticulous arrangements and service, which made this trip so wonderful. I look forward to participating in similar activities in the future to explore more awe-inspiring places.
Thanks Ben for being amazing guide. You organized it very well and have a good humor sense. We enjoyed the trip as a family
Thank you Ben for being an amazing guide through the day trip. We enjoyed the planned itinerary. Thank you Harry for the arrangements to make things easy for us with pickup and drop off at our hotel. Highly recommended
We loved our cruise on Ha Long Bay! The tour guide was great. The lunch buffet was delicious. We enjoyed walking through the huge cave & looking at the emerald waters.
How guide Victor. We are all in our eighties and he really looked after us. His communication at all times was excellant
We booked this tour at last minute and decided to choose the option to upgrade (approx. $25) to a smaller group (less than 30pax group), it was a good decision. Communication was really good from the booking to the end of the tour. Special thanks to our Tour guide- Binh and the driver - Nguyen. If you would like to visit Ha Long Bay and run out of time, i highly recommend to book this tour.
Such a beautiful day it was at Halong Bay! With cruise buffet, Kayaking, beautiful landscape and the Surprising Cave, UNESCO heritage site! Our tour guide Mr. Tiger was really nice and helpful. The trip was very organized and on time.
Good tour and well taken care of by Thint. Weather was cool, but too many tourists congesting the cave. Buffet food was delicious. The beer ran out before I could grab one.
Great experience! Specially thanks for our tour guide Billy. He is very professional and good at photography.
Great views at Ha Long Bay with lots of activities and places to visit. My tour guide Billy does a great job bringing his group around and happily assist you if you have any queries or request. Will recommend again!
The trip was fun. We had lunch onboard after a ride on a limousine from hanoi. Good weather through. Absoluted enjoy with super guide Ben
Amazing experience and service provided by Alova Cruise. Tour guide, Billy shared great insights throughout the entire journey. Food and refreshement served were scrumptious. Totally recommend tourists to consider taking this cruise when they are in Hanoi.
The lady on board was very kind. My shoe broke and she gave me hers. The tour unfortunately was not for us. My husband cannot climb stairs or walk too far. We did not realize there was so much of this on the trip, so we stayed on the boat all them time. The only consolation was the views.
First time visiting Hanoi, I shopped around for Halong Bay 1 day tour and decided on this company, and I’m glad that I did. My son and I had a wonderful day, our guide Binh (Billy) was courteous, professional and helpful, the lunch buffet was delicious, lots of seafood. I would recommend.
It was first time to join Halong bay tour with my mom so was bit nervous. however, Alan explained so well and kind, we could enjoy our tour 200%. Lunch was delicious and rainy party was good. If we have any chances to visit Vietnam again, want to join this tour again
We had an amazing day visiting Halong Bay and the caves. Alova set up a great lunch buffet and the boat was clean and nice. Our tour guide, Mr Ben, was very entertaining and informative and kept us laughing the whole day. Especially loved his rendition of the Backstreet Boys on the way back to the harbour 🎤😂 Definitely recommend!
Good food, good view. Ben the guide was 10/10. Good food, good view. Ben the guide was 10/10.
The trip was very very pleasant. The driver was good at picking us, The tour guide was excellent, He constantly showed concern for all of the passengers, Not only was the trip pleasant, but had many opportunities for pictures and exercises and other things to do. I would rate the lunch as literally 4 to 5 star For a buffet Considering the modest cost of the trip. I would highly recommend it for economical day trip With multiple stops and opportunities to Hike, And to see caves, As well as a very modestly priced boat excursion on the river. Is my true guide Billy was excellent. I'm sure if I had more times I would do more tours with this group.
very well organized, make sure you bring extra clothes due to swimming and kayak activities, cheers for the tour guide
A lot of fun in 1 day in Ha Long Bay All the activities go smoothly, including Titop island, kayaking and Amazing Cave Tour guide Mr. An( Harry Porter) is amazing, very friendly, knowledgeable and sense of humor as well Defenitely recommend this tour and tour guide to my family and friends
Hung the tour guide was great! Very informative, friendly, and easy to talk to. Boat ride was comfortable and the service was perfect. We rode the bamboo boat and enjoyed the relaxing trip into the cove. Last but not least, Tien, our buss driver was right on time and drove very reasonably!
I had a very good time with Hung as our guide for the day. Very informative of the sights and local history of the area.
Tour guide: Ivan was so kind and helpful. On boat: Tour was well organized and covered key spots in a short time. Kayak: The best point of this tour. Very recommendable. Shuttle bus: It was premium bus so we could move comfortably.
Our family has been to Halong bay with tour Alova Cruise this January. We felt and enjoyed well-prepared tour and nice tour guide. And we had a good time and understand better about Halong bay. Just one thing the lunch doesn’t include soup for some tourist who likes to have a rice with it. (If you prepare for some soup it’d be wonderful lunch for me.) However I highly recommend this tour for all tourist who wanna have a fully enjoyed time in Ha Long bay.
Nice day out in Halong Bay with Anna as our guide, overall very positive experience. Tour is well organised and planned. We were nicely taken care of and the road was much lighter due to highway opening. So not tiring at all. Meal was decent and drinks prices were acceptable too. Asia travel Ladies took care of us and we enjoyed this day out.
We were picked up at around 8:30 from our Hotel and drove to Halong Bay. I feel like we saw a lot of things for a day trip,
Very helpful and supporting. Gave updated knowledge about the sites and the days program. The foods were delicious and staff were nice We are very enjoy Halong bay with Alova cruise Mr.Driver was so friendly and perfect skill. highly recommend this tour
Excellent service from mr hung from pick up to drop off. Humorous, friendly and knowledgable throughout. Looked after us well and would recommend his services to anyone going to halong bay.
Musa has made this day amazing. He's very well organized, making sure everyone takes the most out of the trip. Definitely with worths to spend the day with him.
We love this tour. Everything was amazing and our guide (Ivan) is a very funny guy and made our trip better.
Very good service and attention but too expensive for seeing such a dirty and crowded place. The tour is good, Halong bay is not worth it
I booked a tour to Ha Long Bay 1 day with Go Asia Travel company. The lunch is good, activities are amazing( including visiting Amazing Cave, kayaking/ bamboo boat and visit Titopp Island). Especially tour guide, HARRY, he is super friendly and knowledgeable, introduced to us a lot of interesting facts about Vietnam and gave full of useful recommendations Highly recommended this tour
Excellent driver and tour Guide. today we had a great trip. thanks goasia for organize the trip for me and my wife
The tour starts very early in the morning by they picking you up for your hotel. The bus is really nice and the driver drives fast but very good. In the road, our guide Ivan explained us a lot of interesting things. Then, the food at the cruise is amazing! And the views even more spectacular. Don’t miss this tour!
Our guide Hung was great. He told us some of the history of the area and was clear on what activities we would do and how much time we would have. The van was very comfortable and our driver did a good job navigating all the traffic. Hung even took photos for me on my phone so I know I have food ones to remember the heavenly cave. We saw monkeys on our bamboo boat ride and although I didn't love all the food, they did offer lots of dishes. Overall a good tour of you just want the highlights and from a comfortable seat 😉
3 of us from Thailand go to Halong bay together. Our tour guide Ivan was so good. The bus was clean and Mr driver was friendly The food was so so but We love them so much. The staff were nice The halong bay was so beautiful Thanks
Excellent trip, good drive. The guide was great, worry for everybody wellness. His english was good.A five stars trip ended.
Excellent tour, Ivan and driver was excellent, great cave and boat tour, great service, good price, great seafood lunch, would recommend.
I book one day trip to Halong Bay. Everything was perfect and smoothy from the beginning of the trip even the weather on that day is not so good. The wind is strong and waves is very high. Our tour guide- Harry, his English is very good, always smiling with us and take care of us every moment, especially in the boat because he knows that the boat is not stable and make us tired Highly recommend this tour and this guide
Tour guide: English was good Knowledge of area is perfect Thank you Ivan On Boat: Food was okay Drinks good and cheap The staffs were nice an friendly We love the bamboo boat as well Mr. Driver drives safe and nice too Thank you GoAsia and Alova for making our trip memorable and thanks Ivan for being out guide
I would like to compliment the guide Bui Thi Phuong our tour guide. She was very friendly, explicit in explanation and patient. We had a five year old and elderly with us. she guided us through the cave and pointed us the best background to take a photo. We didn’t feel lost right from departing from the hotel to the boat, the bamboo boat ride, the hiking and the cave. Her service was commendable. Bus ride was comfortable. We chose this company partly because the bus ride was cut short by travelling the new expressway to Halong Bay. Heard that normal travelling time was 4 hours. Ours was 2hrs 15 mins. Lunch was serve readily when we board the boat. Food was catered well. If you ask me, I will say for comfort you should opt for this tour and the company. I saw some tours with bumboats and speed boat and I felt thankful that my whole family could enjoy this trip with comfort. Do not hesitate to opt for this tour. Will recommend to others and prolly use this company for future trips to Sapa.
