From the initial time of booking Nancy was amazing, she responded to emails quickly, organised many things outside of our tour that required additional bookings, and her attention to detail was exceptional. From the time we landed in Ho Chi Minh City to the time we boarded the flight home everything was perfect. Mum celebrated her birthday cruising the picturesque Halong Bay and Nancy even organised a cake for her. It was truly a special time for both of us and we arrived home with some wonderful memories. If you are travelling to Vietnam and are looking for a stress and worry free holiday I highly recommend Halong Tours, the service and in particular Nancy were just incredibly amazing. Thank you so much Halong Tours :)Less

Every now and again we bumped into other holiday makers who also had Miss Tracy at Halong tours and they were all very happy with their tours. This was the first time we have done "a tour when you are not having a tour" ie you are on your own tour completely customised for you as we had some special requests which Tracy worked in for us. I just wish every country had a Halong tours and we will definitely come back to Vietnam and do another Halong tour. Thank you Miss Tracy and Halong tours!Less
