Special thanks to Ms Mia from Bestprice Travel and Mr Tommy, the cruise manager, for caring for my family's needs.
The only unfavorable aspect of the overall cruise experience was the waiting area. It was really hot, and the air conditioners did not perform as they should.
Otherwise, if you truly want a comfortable luxury experience!? It is the Hermes Cruise! Less
We are a family with two kids, and this was our first visit to Hanoi. Fortunately, Janet from BestPrice Travel had arranged trips for us. 3D2N Halong Bay cruise with Hermes and day tour to Ninh Binh. She has been fantastic and supportive throughout our vacations. We had a great time in Vietnam and will definitely book with Janet again next time. Thank everybody.
A relaxing weekend with an exciting itinerary and program. The room was spectacular! Spacious, with a 270-degree bay view, balcony, and jacuzzi! The entire staff was friendly and courteous. Mr Lam, thank you for taking such good care of us. Highly appreciate his patience and sense of humor! Tuan from the restaurant was extremely kind and supportive! Definitely suggest and come back!

Ms. Mia contacted me via WhatsApp almost immediately after I made the 30% deposit. She is extremely attentive. I have had a lot of other GetYourGuide and Viator experiences in different countries. Mia has given me a great deal of confidence for the first time in Vietnam without knowing the language.
I opted for a private transfer from Hanoi. I was not sure how much of a difference a bus transfer would make. The transfer pickup from Hanoi was extremely well-organized. The drivers arrived on time, and our cars were extremely comfortable. He took a bathroom break at a typical souvenir tourist store along the way.
We booked a three-day, two-night on-board package. This allows you to explore less-visited areas of the bay. Actually, we spent the majority of the second day on another, smaller boat from a different company. We liked it, but many people would prefer the two-day, one-night package.
I mentioned that we were celebrating my father's birthday. Ms. Mia even surprised him with a birthday cake and a small present. Daddy was overjoyed!
We chose a cruise that is newer and more expensive. Food, services, and activities are excellent. Our cabin is our favorite place. Very nice size, clean, and comfortable. It is relaxing just to sit inside the room and admire the scenery of Halong.
Everyone is delighted. Many thanks, Mia. Less
Mr. Lam was the cruise's guide. He is a knowledgeable and excellent guy who helped us take a lot of lovely photographs! We enjoyed the stay in a comfortable, tidy room with a balcony.
