Booking my Hanoi / Halong Bay tour with GoAsia was a no regret decision. My bookings with Ms Ruby was well planned and organized. My mum was so happy and keep commenting that this tour agent did a good job. We were truly amazed when we checked in Aranya Hotel even though along our journey from airport we don't have much communications with the driver (arranged by GoAsia) as he can't speak English at all. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted and welcomed by the friendly hotel staff. I would give a good credit to the hotel staff because of their service and information provided by them.

The tour guide Sam are very good. He was very informative and helpful as well. He helped us to solved our problem very fast as our deck in the cruise was leaking. We spent great time in knowing the history of Hanoi, tasting authentic Vietnam food in the cruise. My mum and I are appreciated and enjoying the tour. The kayaking in the sea with our tour guide was certainly an unforgettable experience for my mum and I.

Our tour guide Mr. Hung is a very nice & helpful person, really enjoy the trip to Tam Coc and the cycling was a great experience too. Last night of our stay in Aranya hotel, one of the staff actually told us that he will prepared breakfast for us to bring along as he knew we had to catch an early flight. We were really grateful for his help.

We will certainly recommend GoAsia to our relatives and friends. We have a wonderful time in Hanoi. Thank you.

Hi Jamieean,
Your praises are really appreciate from all the team, we are happy that you and your mom go back with nice souvenir! Ms Ruby is very experienced and she take care of our guests until they are at home, she never let you fall down in every case. Sorry for our driver, they all are very good to drive and follow a lot of rules from our company that others will not request, but we don’t ask them to learn English, as normal you will have a tour guide as well in the car to make you appreciate your trip.
Mr Sunny and Mr Hung are working in our company from long time now, they are our best tour guide, Mr Sunny speak many languages and know so much about history, culture and tradition from our country, he also bit epicurean and know many good place to eat specialties from Viet Nam. Mostly of our guest like the kayaking because that give you a real sensation of freedom inside Halong and something how bring you wherever you want! Mr Hung is really “guest oriented” and he will try the best to satisfy you. Tam coc is the terrestrial Halong Bay and the sightseeing of the rice fields between the lime rocks with the bikes are breathtaking!
Thanks to you and your mom, if one time you will come back in Viet Nam, don’t hesitate and take contact with us, we will welcome you in the big Go Asia Travel family! Best regards

The tour guides are very good, the staffs in hotel are very nice. We spent great time in visit and lunch, knowing the history of Hanoi, tasting the typical food.... My friend and I are appreciated and enjoying the tour. My hand phone was return back under the staffs effectiveness and honesty. Although 2 days Halong Bay tour was cut to 1 day under weather condition, the company arranged local tour to make up. We have a wonderful time in Hanoi!

Beloved Skeay,
“Wonderful trip in Hanoi”, what can I say more to this except thank you, we, Go Asia Travel, are all proud to be so praised. We want to improve ourselves more and more, but sometimes, reading such a review is a big motivation for all the team! Yes, sadly, sometimes the government take the decision to close Halong for the night because of the weather, but I hope everyone understand that is a safety rule and as you tell it here, we arrange something’s different that you still enjoy our country. Thanks’ again and perhaps we will see us again around Viet Nam, best regards,

We booked a day trip to Halong Bay with Go Asia. We were pleased to be greeted by our very kind and happy tourguide, Kien, when he picked us up from the hotel. Kien spoke very good English (even if he didn't believe it). He gave us a lot of trivia on the bus/road trip to Halong Bay, which my friend and I appreciated, since it helped us learn a bit more about Vietnam and Vietnamese culture. He was really very warm, caring and accommodating, and we felt that he was really excited to be showing us around Halong Bay, his hometown. This kind of excitement rubs off--we quickly got excited too.

The itinerary was good, and we felt that we covered a lot of ground considering the trip was a 4-hour bus ride from Hanoi to Halong bay, and another 4-hour ride back. We got to have a good lunch, which was served hot on the junk boat. We were seated with strangers though, and had to strike up a conversation ourselves.

We also got to go around the bay, and ride a bamboo boat to get closer to the limestone islands of Halong bay. We didn't book this in advance, but we were allowed the option to pay for it on the spot. We were also brought to "Paradise cave," which was a lot more than I expected. Kien once again was a very good tour guide here as he kept the group together, pointed out interesting formations in the stalactites and even apologized for not having his laser pointer with him.

Before dropping us off at the hotel, Kien gave the tour group a treat by singing for us--in Russian! (Earlier that day he explained that he actually studied Russian in school.)

Overall, great itinerary, good food, great communication and one of the best tour guides I've ever had!

Great experience with this travel agency - Go Asia.

Tour guide speaking fluent English, and able to communicate in Chinese as well. Our tour guide Mr.Thang is a very nice & helpful person, really enjoy the trip to Tam Coc, If i know about this agency, I will definitely use them for my Halong Bay tours as well, but well... everything was arrange by the hotel & the Tam Coc tour was arrange day after Halong By trip.

Going to recommend to my family as my sister plan to go Hanoi as well and she feel more comfortable if the tour guide can communicate with Chinese.

Dear Faye W,
I'm glad that you know more about Vietnam via interesting stories from Mr. Hung - our "polite and informative" tour guide. Thank you for your compliment about boat trip, it's the highlight of the trip with a "journey" along the river with mountain and paddy field, you may see goats on the mountain. Hopefully this experience is memorable for you. Wish you all the best
