The trip went smoothly without any problem thanks to the arrangement of Mia. She was very quick to respond and answer all my questions.
The cruise was fun from the start to the end. I wanna say thank you to all the nice staff on board and Mia, too.
We are a group of three and very satisfied with the trip. Kayaking around the cave wasn't that scary and it was fun (this was our first time kayaking)!! You should also take off your shoes if you don't want them to get wet. And lastly, the manager was really kind and explained things well. Thank you!
This is a great tour to do with the family. Our guide, Luca, not only spoke English very well but also had a good understanding of the area, so we were able to hear high-quality explanations. The food was very delicious, and the scenery of Halong Bay was also beautiful. The price is reasonable too. I recommend it.
I scheduled a limousine pickup from my hotel in the Old Quarter area, and it arrived on time. Even though I was rather tall, the bus was spacious and comfy. Halong Bay is stunning, and the cruise felt spacious since there were just a few passengers on board. During the buffet lunch, I thoroughly loved… More I scheduled a limousine pickup from my hotel in the Old Quarter area, and it arrived on time.
