Cruise Ha Long Bay from Hanoi on a private day tour with seafood lunch, caves, kayaking or bamboo boats, and hotel pickup.

“All we wanted we got: a private transfer to Halong Bay and a cruise. As we booked the private tour option, we had the ship for our own. Food was great on the boat (way too much for 2 persons) but outside the tour company. It is prepared by the ship owner. The tourguide was ok, we figured out she is doing mainly group tours and not really set for private tours. The details were missing, sometimes there were misunderstandings due to the languague barrier. Several jokes she made can be done on a group, but when you are not familiar with the EN-languague - just donˋt do it. The…”

“I have coeliac disease and other food intolerance. I am nervous about ordering food when I travel and the knowledge about my condition. I have to eat gluten free to have good health and not be in crippling sickness. During our discussions I sent a travel document for people with coeliac disease. Our guides Anna and Jackie selected a restaurant which I can freely eat without worrying about my condition. Also the restaurant was authentic Vietnamese food. It was one of the best places we ate at since our visit at Hanoi. I also enjoyed Anna teaching us the correct way to prepare the food before eating. We also visited…”
