We really enjoyed every moment on Halong Bay with Cong Cruise. Hera was amazing and lovely, she answered every question immediately and with enthusiasm
On my vacation to Vietnam, Minah Nguyen from BestPrice Travel went above and beyond to assist me. She was considerate and thorough in her responses to all of my inquiries. She arranged a transfer for me and assisted me in getting a quick visa. I appreciate the assistance a lot! I heartily advise using this tour company.
Thank you BestPrice Travel and Cong Cruise, for a fantastic day in Halong Bay. We have unforgettable memories here. Although the weather was not so good, the crew and services on board warmed our hearts. So lovely and so kind. The decoration on the board really impressed us!
Thank you BestPrice Travel and Cong Cruise, for a fantastic day in Halong Bay. Special thanks to Ms. Hera; you are lovely and kind in answering our questions. Our family and I had a great time in Halong Bay with Cong Cruise Team. This ship has a beautiful and impressive decorated design. It seems like we were in Vietnam in the 1900s, though. It was interesting haha.
Thank you for the friendly and polite during the whole trip, everything went smoothly, and we had a wonderful day.
