5.00We had a beautiful ship in ha long bay, spectacular food service, lots of fun with our guide thuc . We were transported from the hotel to a bus, then to the boat, did a lot of activities and we also did the fast boat for extra $10 per person, but it was well worth it. I would do it again with them!

2.00the location itself is beautiful. however, the tour experience was not good because * too crowded * tour guide did the bare minimum amount of work. It was hard looking for him. He has no flag or speaker. When we get to the bamboo boat activity, there was no instruction on where to go or what to do. * tour group was too big * schedule said we would be back at 6pm but it wasn't mentioned until the tour is started that we wouldn't be back until 9pm and no dinner was provided. there was also no opportunity to buy dinner since we were on the bus traveling back.
Great trip
