Born and raised in Ha Long Bay and now living in Hanoi, we chose Justin T. for our guide during a 1 1/2 day cruise stop.  It was New Year’s week, so much was closed, but one comes to Ha Long Bay to see the nearly 2000 “karsts” jutting out of the sea.  Caves, fishing and beautiful beaches are coupled with these limestone islands. .  The next day Justin took us on our own private boat tour through the karsts into inlets with monkeys coming down rock face to greet us!  A stop to explore Thien Chung Cave is amazing and then more Vietnamese food while cruising back! Justin has a great sense of humor and so proud of his home town!  He is a great choice for your guide here!

We had a great time visiting Halong City with Justin. We visited the fish market which was a great experience. We had a delicious lunch in a local restaurant. It wasn’t touristy but more authentic Vietnamese which we appreciated very much. We visited a museum and a farm pearl. Justin was generous of his time and answered all our questions. Thanks Justin. Hope to come back to Vietnam again!
