My Uyen was my Consultant! We had to work through details to get my accommodation and trip requests to work with available dates. Anytime changes were needed or I had questions, the response time and communication were great. Signature Royal Cruise was recommended, and it was wonderful.
We went on a 2-day, 1-night excursion to Bai Tu Long Bay. Janet from Bestprice Travel organized our trip, Mr. Morning was our local tour guide, and Bride did a fantastic job. Despite the fog and occasional rain, we were impressed by the karst rocks.
We visited Halong Bay for the first time. Thanks to Hang Moon, our itinerary for 2 days on board was wonderful.
Halong Bay was beautiful & the boat plus the staff gave us a lifetime experience.
Thank you so much!
Amazing experience! The cruise was beautiful, I heard that it was recently renovated. We're thrilled with every activity during this trip. They were fantastic and Janet Tran helped create such memorable experiences for us.
We're also excited about another tour in Vietnam next year! Highly recommend this company.
Thank you for booking the transfer for us. It made the experience so smooth and was definitely much better value than getting a Grab.
Bai Tu Long is excellent because it's not busy like Ha Long Bay, but still offers the beautiful scenery of the limestone mountains.
