5.00We had an extremely exciting and at the same time relaxed trip with the Renea Cruises Company in the less touristy Bai Tu Long Bay. The company has some of the few remaining traditional wooden ships, which made the experience particularly authentic. Our room was a real highlight: large windows allowed us to enjoy the picturesque scenery directly from the bed – just unforgettable. Our tour guide Mr. Hung, already a living legend, accompanied us throughout the trip. With impressive expertise, a lot of humor and great passion, he made this trip an extraordinary experience that will remain in our memory for a long time to come. Thanks to the crew, too. We can only recommend this experience.
Great experience in Ha Long bay!

5.00Tony is very nice, his english is very good so you can easily communicate. We did Tai Chi and learned how to make Spring Rolls The food is good and the boat crew is amazing Regarding Ha Long bay, I think one night is enough for whats there to see. There is also the option of doing a one day trip which coule work if you are not staying long We really loved it
Wonderful overnight cruise
