The waiters on the boat were very polite and considerate.
The tour guide speaks English and is very caring towards tourists.
We were a group of 16 and were made to feel right at home.
Highly recommended!!
I was picked up at the hotel on time. The ship is new and quite nice. It has 2 restaurants, one on the lower deck and a smaller one on the second deck.
The interesting thing about this ship is the Canape and live music on the way back to the mainland from the bay. Very suitable for individuals who like excitement and dancing. Not really suitable for those who want to be quiet and relax.
The trip was pretty fun and memorable for a day. The boat is new and clean. Kayaking was a nice experience for me. The island I visited was a bit crowded. I may book an overnight cruise next time to explore the bay more.
Satisfied with the tour, but not "really" because I felt it was a bit short because it was only 1 day. The manager was very polite and Tour Guide Cuong was very enthusiastic and cheerful. My 5 stars are for these staff. I would also like to say a good word for everyone's service. When I return to the US I will have one more tour to introduce to my acquaintances.
Mr. Cuong - the guide was very impressive, had very good English skill, knowledgeable about places, and great guide.
The crew was very professional and knew English and Chinese.
The restrooms are clean, the food is beautifully presented and delicious.
I will be back!!
