We organized our trip in Vietnam, including 2 days to Halong Bay with the agency BestPrice Travel and the support of Ms. Kim.
Everything was really perfect, the drivers were always punctual and kind, the guides, the internal transportation, and the hotels were all good. Vietnam is a fantastic country and Halong Bay is stunning. I recommend everyone to go and use this agency.

Excellent service from this cruise!

We enjoyed a fantastic cruise with Garden Bay! The boat was small and lovely, with not too many people on board. Our cabin was cozy and clean and warm, with a balcony and a fantastic view. I highly suggest this tour!!

The crew team and guides were excellent! Also, Jasmine, our BestPrice Travel assistant,… More

We're looking for a cruise to Bai Tu Long and find this cruise suitable for our budget. We need two cabins for our group of 4 (on the 2nd floor if possible). Can you check the dates for the 20th & 21st for me?

@Nina P:

Hi there, we believe the cooking class and rowing boat are ok with your 4-year-old kid (accompanied with parents). About the baby cot service, if you really need that, the 5-star cruise is a better choice. Cabins of this boat are really small for that.

Private mivivan 1 way Hanoi airport to Halong is 120 USD, if you arrive at 9:00 AM I am afraid you don't have enough time to arrive on-time.
