We highly recommend this one-day itinerary. The schedule was very moderate and pretty pleasant. The tour guide was very patient and friendly. The meals on board were delicious and warm. The overall experience was very good.
Don’t miss the loungers on the sundeck. You can enjoy a leisurely time on it and feel the gentle sea breeze. There is also a shade shed, which is really great.
We did this tour based on a recommendation from a friend. I have to say it was very well organized, from the advice from Velvet to the bus driver (who is probably the only one who doesn't honk in all of Hanoi) to the funny tour guide Ben.
Very good for a relatively short cruise.
The schedule of the itinerary was very well-planned. The tour guide was very patient and friendly. The meals on the boat were delicious and hot. The overall experience was nice.
Don’t miss to relax on the roof of the boat. It’s great to enjoy a leisurely afternoon on it and feel the sea breeze. There is also a shade so you don't have to worry about the sun.
Even though we were late for the pickup time, they picked us up at another location and were very kind.
Thank you very much to Luca and the company. The day cruise itself was really fun! I highly recommend them!
The guide was excellent. His organization and knowledge are good. The boat is nice and the food is great. But there were many tourists on board. Kayaking is wonderful but short. We need more time. The bus was not comfortable but our group was 4 people with 8 seats so we felt okay.
