The tour was very nice. Viet was an excellent guide. The group was small. I will recommended it instead of an overnight cruise.

My wife and I did a full day tour with Ben as our guide. The tour was great. Both informative and relaxing. There was plenty of time for activities and the food on bird was delicious. Really great crew on board and was easily the best day we had on Cat Ba Island. Would recommend this company. And also hundred points to Ben for just being a good bloke and great guide.

Ben is a true gentleman. No nonsense, funny and witty. He tried to inform us about many things such as local policies, besides the nature which i found interesting. His english is stellar!
