Janet Tran from BestPrice Travel scheduled us a two-day, one-night Ha Long Bay cruise. She was a professional. Janet spoke with us during the trip and followed up to the end of the trip. The transportation arrangements also went nicely. We had a wonderful time on our trip. We definitely suggest BestPrice Travel, a reliable service for our travels in Vietnam.
