Ha was the coolest tour guide i met in Vietnam, i will recommend this tour for anyone. So beautiful and great attraction
Rating 10/5 only because of tour coordinator “HAPPY.” He is the best guide one could have for lan ha bay. Thank you so much Happy for making our trip so memorable. LOVE FROM INDIA. Just a small suggestion for serenity cruise. Please include some small breakfast options while we travel from HANOI to Catba
Was a great trip and was looked after from start the start with my tour guide DU, who was extremely helpful and looked after me completely through the transfer to the boat with his good energy and positivity which was needed as it started super early in the morning! Who then transferred me to Tiger who was also great and showed us around the island, which was amazing and not busy at all which is what i wanted, beautiful landscapes all the way through!
We had a good time with Duy who our guide on the bus and was very sweet. Appreciate his efforts to make us feel comfortable, right from pick up at Hotel Metropole to the ferry
Taken from start to finish. The day before transport reminder with RV location pzr message (time, map, photo). A motorcycle arrives before the bus to check that everything is there. Info in the coach to explain the procedure, we took the cable car option from Hanoi, to do! Then we are picked up on the other side (the bus takes the ferry). We stayed the day before in Cat Ba (nice beaches but city without more). The next day, excursion via this day guide and good surprise, it is the same team and the boat is the Serenity grandeur, super luxury, buffet at the top, swimming pool,... nice stop to get nibbled feet by cousins of the piranhas and drink a snake alcoholic (a double adventure) then bike back to the boat freely. We finish with a dive (be careful, the slides type well on arrival in the water, only flat...). In short, to do!!!
I will never forget this day in the lan ha bay. The cruise was new, clean and luxury. The staff was so kind and professional and big thank to our guide haha for helping us so much to day
The cruise lived up to its name, a truly serene experience and our tour guide Happy also lived up to his name. He was full of energy and grace. The day was a perfect blend of activity and relaxation. They coordinated each group's specific pick up and drop off needs which was impressive and greatly appreciated. The experience was nothing short of magical and I would highly recommend it.
Really nice tour. Quiet, awesome views, nice guide. Would recommand!
It is very relaxed and the guide is very communicative and knowledgeable! This tour provides you with a clean safe ship, great food and time to relax and enjoy the scenery. There was never a feeling of being rushed!
The cruise was absolutely amazing - my friend and I loved it! Everything went perfectly according to plan, and you could really feel the care and attention to detail. There weren’t too many people, which made the experience even better. The guide was fantastic - well-organized, responsible, and clearly passionate about what they do. Huge praise! The lunch was incredibly delicious - big thanks to the chefs! Honestly, we loved everything: the boat was great, very spacious, everything was organized at the highest level. The route, the guide’s stories, and all the activities were excellent. The program was full but so well-balanced and thoughtfully planned. Thank you so much! ❤️
