5.00Our family of three ventured out with Vic and Rene’s cruises for an overnight stay on their lovely boat. The cruise is smaller in size, which is more suitable for families and couples. The smaller size boat meant we all had the best quality of care and attention from the service staff. The food, accomodations and activities all superb. Outstanding ovation to Vic our tour guide who guided and entertained us the whole way. Highly recommend this cruise.

5.00We had a really great tour and an all-round carefree package. Our guide Hung took good care of all the needs of the guests, communicated courteously and organized the day great! The food on board was excellent, rooms very nice and generally the boat has a special charm with the wooden construction. The whole crew puts a lot of effort into every detail and is very friendly. We can only recommend the tour!:-)
Great Bai Tu Long Trip

5.00Wonderful 2D1N cruise, and very well conducted by Hung who had an incredible amount of knowledge across a vast variety of subjects (incl geology of ha long bay, stalagmite formation, language and culture or the area, cooking and ingredients etc.) Also impeccably organised - customer convenience is something else in Vietnam and on this outing in particular. Easy to follow English as well. Well worth it.
I had a wonderful experience in Ha Long Bay.

5.00I joined a two-day, one-night Ha Long Bay tour. Our guide, Hung, was very knowledgeable and handled the tour in a highly professional manner. The cabin we stayed in was stylish and clean, hard to believe it was wooden, and both the toilet and shower were perfectly comfortable. The food was delicious, and all the staff did an excellent job. If you’re considering a tour in Ha Long Bay, this is a choice you won’t regret.
