It was a good day. Justin met us at the cruise terminal and we got on the boat for the day. Since it was just the 2 of us, we were able to get lots of local information. Did the Sun Sot (Surprise) Cave, the gondola type boar into the safe water area and Ti Top island. Lunch on the boat was excellent.

Justin was incredible! He organized transportation from our Airbnb to the cruise ship terminal where we picked up a large, private boat. The boat was nice and clean and the crew was kind and accommodating. Justin took us to the stops before the crowds got there, and at one point it was just our group of 8 in the lagoon which was magical and a moment all of us will remember forever. The fresh seafood lunch was great. Thank you Justin for being a fantastic guide around Ha Long Bay and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Justin runs his tours like the Swiss runs their trains—like clockwork. We never had to wait. Justin is a fun, happy and knowledgeable guide who puts 1000% into making you feel like an honored guest. He brought a bouquet of roses for my wife because we were celebrating our anniversary. Later, out can a special cake…another surprise. We had a fantastic tour with Justin in Ha Long Bay and will certainly be using his services again when we return with our family. Don’t hesitate to book with Justin….I am very confident that you will have a great tour and feel very special too! Justin, thank you so much for sharing Vietnam with us!

We really enjoyed our tour with Justin. He was well organized. He was generous of his time. We had a boat for ourselves (4 people). The food was delicious. We loved our visit in Halong Bay. The cave is a most to see. Thanks!

We thought Justin was a fabulous Tour Guide. He was very knowledgeable, spoke English beautifully, took us through the caves and helped my friend navigate the many steps so she was able to see the unbelievably amazing sites. He arranged for a boat on which we had an amazing Vietnamese lunch, and got us very close to the monkeys so that we could throw bananas to them. We had a great day!
