    Halong was the best part of the trip. I came here alone to enjoy myself after along time of working and i had the time of my life. My tour guide and the tour operator was super helpful and they for sure made the tour 100 times better. I will be back to Vietnam for sure!

    We had a great time on our tour with the Bestour team. The trip was very well planned, and all of the arrangements were perfectly organized. The tour guides were very helpful and friendly, and they made sure that we were always comfortable and well-informed about the places we visited. The local people we met along the way were also very kind and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. Thank you for a memorable trip!
