    The tour was great. Phong was a great guide. Phong told us a lot about different topics during the tour. The cruise ship was really modern and luxurious. The destinations were a bit crowded. I would advise to visit when there is good weather.

    What a positive experience, from being picked up from the hotel on time, despite crazy traffic. The pearl farm was a nice extra. Phong, our guide was very professional and made sure we had all the necessary information. Checking that we were comfortable throughout, thank you.
