We just had our half day tour with transfer from and to our hotel and the whole experience was amazing! Pick on time, all the activities were done and the service was fantastic (great food - a lot of food - tour guide, huge clean boat). All in all everything went smoothly and we are all very happy. I will highly recommend their services!!!

...so I wrote a review of the total trip under the cruise company. But wanted to also compliment Viet for his organisation of the tour. Incredibly responsive, honest and practical! Thanks for taking the stress out of the trip!

We had 1 day and didn't know where to go. After an hour talked with Viet, we decided to take a trip to Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba island and we had perfect trip. Viet was so helpful and patient with our request. We highly recommend Viet and his agency to everyone.
