Ms.June K
CanadaAn incredible experience onboard!
Our stay on the boat was just fantastic! Everything was well-organized, and the activities were a lot of fun, especially with Charlie, who added to the experience with his enthusiasm and generosity. I would strongly suggest this trip to anyone searching for a combination of relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

United StatesExpectations were greatly exceeded
The cruise was excellent, made much better by our tour guide Charlie. He was pleasant to chat with and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. The cruise crew was fantastic, accommodating our dietary restrictions and offering alternatives to what we couldn't eat.
We caught a squid and I joked with Charlie about eating it, which we did. He arranged for it to be prepared and cooked, then delivered it to our room because the restaurant floor was closed. I would highly suggest this cruise!

United StatesHalong Bay cruise booking through Best Price Travels
Ms. Rosie Nguyen of Best Price Travels assisted me in booking this vacation. She is the most effective organizer, facilitator, and communicator. She always responded quickly to my questions, no matter what time of day or night. As a result, I had an excellent tour, complete with a lovely air-conditioned private cabin overlooking the bay. The visits to the caves from the boat were excellent and nicely arranged. The tour guide was educated and followed the schedule. The cuisine was amazing and authentic. The early morning on the upper deck was magical, with its unique land/seascape, birdcalls, and silence.
