Immerse yourself in a landscape where nature's artistry blends seamlessly with rich cultural heritage, creating an unforgettable adventure.
I had the opportunity to your Halong Bay with Son V and I can honestly say it was a great experience, not only was he very knowledgeable of the area but when we went to explore the cave he was very caring considering I have some mobility issues. You are a great tour guide and a caring person and made my experience awesome. Thank you for that. Maria
We had a great time at Ha Long Bay with Sonny as our guide. He picked us up right on time at our Hanoi hotel, and we had a tremendous discussion with him about the history and culture of Vietnam. Sonny is very knowledgable on a wide variety of subjects, and it made the 2.5 hour drive feel much shorter. My wife, daughter and I had the boat to ourselves on Ha Long, and the food was delicous and the crew very attentive. While the weather wasn't great, it didn't affect our trip. Kayaking was a blast and provided some much appreciated physical activity in the middle of the day long tour.
Son was kind and thoughtful and an excellent guide. We really enjoyed our trip. The one day visit worked well for us and we saw everything we wanted to see without spending 2 days on an overnight trip. Thank you Son.
We had three tours with Son in duration of two days. We really appreciate all attention and professionalism. In addition to well thought tours routes and explanations. Speaks English with min accent, easy to understand. We really appreciate help getting new cell phone when ours unexpectedly broke. Will use again when next time in Hanoi.
We had a wonderful experience.
Fantastic tour. Son was very organized. He arrived with the driver early, explained the schedule, and checked to see we were satisfied during the entire trip. He shared many interesting facts about the Vietnamese culture in an extremely engaging way. The driver was excellent. I highly recommend Son and Tours By Locals.
