In addition, you can also spend some time on spa & massage services on deck to relax your body and free your mind & soul.

Hello! We're interested in booking a tour from your company, but we have a question. In the itinerary of your "Vietnam Marvelous Budget Adventure 10 days" tour, there were some days where there was no early check-in, so where are we supposed to store our luggage? And is this tour private? Were a group of 5 people, and we were hoping if this specific tour was private.
