Ms. Anna who helped me arrange everything was very helpful and catered to all my requests, making the experience easy. Many thanks!
It was a very good trip, Anna. I left feedback in the form they gave us! But overall very enjoyable. And you were very helpful I appreciate it
Hi, my experience was really positive, very nice ship, with clean and comfortable rooms, and really thoughtful and kind staff.
Great experience, I will definitely recommend it
I booked a 2-day cruise to Halong Bay with a couple of friends, everything went well without a hitch. The schedule of our 2D1N tour went smoothly. Luckily, it wasn't too packed and there was downtime as well for relaxing between each activity.
Hang/Moon especially, was always available on WhatsApp to help with any questions, concerns, minor issues, etc. She was awesome and I recommend booking with her if you can
I've always wanted to experience the beauty of Halong Bay. Thank Mrs. Hang for making it come true.
Ms. Haley, my tour advisor was the best and the trip was amazing. The trip was affordable and good. One of the best trips of my life Haley was very good!
