    Sam our tour guide was so aproachable, asked if everything was okay. He checked if everybody was having fun on Halong Bay Tour. By the way, the cruise was excellent, new facilities and food was great. Had fun on beach area and cave. Thanks to the team. When you come to Vietnam, i highly recommed Hercules Premium Day Cruise.
