All went well. Luca was great, in-depth information is supplied on each area, including all relevant background and historical events. Has an excellent sense of humour and is extremely meticulous about time management. Extra care for the well-being of people on board. Communication abilities are great.
Awesome trip to Halong Bay.
Trustworthy and highly recommended travel agency for foreigners. The bus service from Hanoi to the pier and back is very good. The driver is friendly and drives safely.
Enjoying the breathtaking view of Halong Bay was already an amazing experience, but our guide Alex made it much better with his humor and expertise.
Two thumbs up and strongly suggest BestPrice Travel agency.
The trip went smoothly without any problem thanks to the arrangement of Mia. She was very quick to respond and answer all my questions.
The cruise was fun from the start to the end. I wanna say thank you to all the nice staff on board and Mia, too.
We are a group of three and very satisfied with the trip. Kayaking around the cave wasn't that scary and it was fun (this was our first time kayaking)!! You should also take off your shoes if you don't want them to get wet. And lastly, the manager was really kind and explained things well. Thank you!
