5.00We did a day tour on the cruise and had a fantastic experience. The landscapes are breathtaking, the staff was super nice especially Phuc, our guide who told us many things about the bay, local life, and so much more. We could not recommend enough to do this tour, absolutely unforgettable. In January the touristic season is low so it was very peaceful and definitely not crowded.
Great day tour
