What people love about touring Halong Bay solo
- Vietnam Heritage and Tu Lan Cave Encounter Tour 11 Days
Just completed Vietnam Holidays with Bravo Indochina Tours. Words cannot describe how amazing the experience was. Hai’s knowledge about the history of Vietnam was exceptional and his passion for His country was contagious. Nothing was too much trouble and the itinerary included just the right amount of sights and experiences. Once again I can’t fault Bravo Indochina Tours. Thank you
- The Beauty of Northern Vietnam in 8 Days
It’s actually 4 separate group tours . Size ranged from 6 to about 28 people. Halong Bay was beautiful. I enjoyed the Sapa trekking the best - our guide Sung was excellent. Support from Chris at Vietnam Tour Fun was terrific taking away any anxiety about pickup times and locations.

You done a good work! We had a good trip. Thank you!
