Strongly recommend Halong Bay tour made by Hanoi local tour to whom looking for the real experience from Hanoi. Everything was much better than our expectation. We loved everything about their services such as the staffs, guides, food, and the room. The tour was quite fun and we gazed at the majestic center of Halong Wonder Bay. In comparison with hundreds of travel agencies passing by we all agreed that Hanoi Local tour must be the best 5-star one!
