We booked the 3 days 2 nights tour. If you only book 1 night, everything is a bit time-consuming… Thank you for a great time on board. The ship has charm and is not too big. The staff was great. Our son has a gluten intolerance. I stated this when booking and the tour guide already knew it on the bus. During the tour, our son was given meals that were suitable for him.
Thank you very much for this!
The booking and contact directly with the shipping company was perfect. Professional! and every email was replied to immediately.
You can also book directly with you.
We had a suite with a great view for a little extra charge.
3d2n cruise. Crew, Boat, Guide (Duc), activities, food, scenery, everything was great!
We did the 3 day/2night Halong Bay cruise and had an unforgettable experience: our guide (Sandy) was really good, funny, helpful and knowledgeable, the activities were fantastic, food was amazing. We stayed at the suite room, and enjoyed panoramic views through the 2 massive windows, also loved the private balcony. Room and facilities were clean and tidy. We felt really well looked after by the crew at all times. Highly recommended.
We just did the 3d/2n cruise in Bai tu Long and had a wonderful time, thanks to the beautiful scenery and the fantastic Bai Tu Long Cruise team. Our guide Vic was very attentive, communicated well and took care of everyone on board. The day trip guide Kenny was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Panda who booked us the tour was also helpful and answered all our questions. We highly recommend Renea to everyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery without the crowds and supported by a great team.
Great 2 night 3 day tour of Bai Tu Long Bay. Amazing tour guide, comfortable rooms, and plenty of food. Excursions are fun and family friendly. Staff on the boat was super friendly and helpful even though their English was not great, but the tour guide, Hung, spoke phenomenal English and was very knowledgeable about the history of Vietnam and Ha Long Bay areas.
