Dear Bruno D, First of all, we would like to sincerely thank you for choosing our service for your trip to Cat Ba and Lan Ha Bay. We also greatly appreciate your feedback. We would truly welcome the opportunity to get in touch with you and learn more about the reasons behind your 1-star review, as this would help us improve our services. We hope to hear back from you soon. A 1-star rating for the entire trip suggests that your overall experience was extremely disappointing. As you know, a tour consists of many different elements, including the tour guide, transportation, meal quality, activities such as cycling and kayaking, the cruise itself, the onboard facilities and decoration, as well as the natural scenery. In your review, you mentioned that the waterslide caused back pain, and we genuinely appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention. We will inspect it carefully and make any necessary improvements as soon as possible. However, if there were any other aspects of the trip that made you feel the overall experience deserved only 1 star, we would be very grateful if you could share them with us. Your feedback is extremely important, as it helps us identify shortcomings and continuously improve our service after every tour! We are truly saddened to learn that your experience did not meet your expectations and that we were unable to create the memorable moments we aim to provide for every guest.
