My wife and I, with our 18 months old daughter, just had a wonderful 3 day / 2night tour of Halong Bay with Handspan. The tour was VERY well organised with a wonderful tour guide who was full of useful and interesting information.

It is worth spending... more

We just came back from a day trip to Halong bay from Hanoi and experienced numerous problems with the tour operator we chose. After speaking to some Vietnamese tourists on our boat, we learned that there are reputable operators and others that continue to cheat and squeeze out more money. Unfortunately, we were stuck with the latter. We booked through... more
