          Excellent tour guide, memorable itinerary
          Our tour guide Luca was incredible - he was polite, informative and so accommodating. The itinerary is well set out and organised, and it was a day to remember.

          Crown Legend Halong Cruise
          This was an overall enjoyable experience but a few things were not as “5 star” as I expected. First of all, the staff and service was very good, including the shuttle to Ha Long Bay and back from Hanoi. However the food was mediocre at best for lunch while quality improved for dinner and the following day’s breakfast. Also the itinerary spots are beautiful but very crowded. The boat itself is pretty old and it can be seen in the furniture and just general ambiance of the boat. Our room had some mold and cob webs on the AC. Overall we still had a good time and for the price it’s a decent option for a Ha Long Bay cruise in my opinion if you’re able to overlook a few aesthetic things. I would recommend to bring snacks and waters though bc everything is charged extra if you don’t like the food.

          Amazing Trip experience
          We had a terrific 3 Days 2 Nights at The Elite of The Seas. We can not say enough good things about Tony and Peter they were fantastic. If all humanity would treat each other the way we were treated on this trip we would live in a better world. Entire staff was friendly and kind. The vessel and two nights were peaceful and relaxing.

          Cooking Vietnamese with Trang
          We had an amazing class with Trang after visiting the local market! The dishes we helped create were authentic and even though we helped they tasted amazing! Finished with yummy egg coffee.

          A perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the City
          An excellent full day tour ! The company stayed in contact via WhatsApp from the moment we booked , on arrival at hotel and at the end of the trip to ensure full satisfaction. Our day guide Mr Kenny was outstanding, very pleasant guy , very knowledgeable and took pride in what he does ensuring a multilingual satisfaction for all approach ! Couldn't have asked for a better guide ! The trip itself is incredible! We done this on vietnams independence day so attractions were busier than normal but vietnam has its own way of dealing with this so we never noticed and delays . The landscape is just beautiful. The Pagoda and Bai dinh is a must when seeing this country . The boat trip throughout this land was certainly a highlight and the free supplied umbrella was very welcome in the 40c+ heat whilst on this ! A special mention to Mr Driver who expertly navigated throughout 100% recommend 👌

          Amazing Ha long Bay!!!
          What a wonderful experience!!! Exceeded our expectations...we were a little concerned about what it would be like after reading some reviews about the area and the amount of plastic etc in the water. But, we were not disappointed!!! Probably helped that we travelled in low season with less crowds and boats. The Orchid Classic Cruise was amazing, our suite spacious and the most beautiful views!!! The staff and service we could not fault, nothing was too much trouble. Loved the trips they organised, kayak, cave, swimming on a small beach...The boat manager Mr Bang was extremely helpful and kind. Chris, our waiter throughout the cruise a joy. David, our guide to the village very informative and funny!!! Would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!!!

          Lovely cruise
          We really enjoyed our 1 night cruise around Halong Bay. We had a suite with an extra bed for our son which was huge, with large bathroom and balcony. Food was lovely and beautifully presented. The staff worked so hard to make sure we have an enjoyable stay. We loved the cooking demonstration and our 16 year old son had ago at making Vietnamese spring rolls. Lovely sunset cocktails.

          Good cruise
          It's pretty good considering I normally stay away from cruise options. The boat itself is nice though basic. I had a lower deck cabin without a balcony but it was comfortable. The crew were very friendly and helpful. Food options are good too though bar prices bit high.

          Super!!
          The trip was amazing! The boat was really nice and so were the rooms. But above all…what an amazing, warm and friendly crew. We would like to thank you all. Andy, thanks for all the (clear) information and all the nice activities. Mr. Chien, thank you too for making sure everything was arranged smoothly. Hope to come back again! Thanks for this unforgettable trip in the beautiful surroundings of Halong Bay.

          Great experience
          Great experience. Our guide, Willy, was very helpful and caring making sure everyone followed the group. Cruise was good ( just a lot of people in a line for food so it seemed like some of main dish was not enough). Drinks on a boat quite pricy. Bus was cold. Place where we could choose btw hike and man made beach was good. But if you choose hike, it is a hike😁. Family enjoyed it.

          Great way to see Halong Bay
          An awesome trip and lovely way to explore Halong Bay. Boat was well equipped, clean and tidy. We were fortunate to have a balcony room and the room itself was spacious. We had a long wait for the bus back to Hanoi after the trip but that was unavoidable. Food was excellent and plenty of it. Only criticism was that the bar closed early. By 10pm we had one young bar lady in her pjs who obviously just wanted to go to bed.

          Bring extra cash for water, or just bring water.
          The cruise itself was amazing, the staff were friendly, and the meals were incredible with more courses than I could even finish. However they only provided 2 free bottles of water per person for the whole trip. Which is not even close to enough to stay hydrated when it's 40 degrees outside. We were forced to buy every bottle we needed after our freebies, which is ridiculous. 29k per bottle.

        Took my mum to visit the famous ha long Bay when she visited me in Vietnam.
        Great service and excellent communication with the trav consultant Kevin.
        Our guide Hà was excellent and spoke great English, was funny and had great info for us. The boat is small with max capacity about 20 pax.
        We had a small group of 10 all up and it was relaxing. The boat is not luxury but clean and comfortable. The crew were fantastic and there were enough activities.
        Lần ha bay was beautiful and not too many boats there.
        Definitely recommend.

The day l didn’t do the trip the staff member brought me my breakfast I’m my room, did so much to make me comfortable and so create full.

        It was good for the price. The boat was great and the staff was sweet. But we were promised an english speaking guide and we didnt understand most of what he said. It wasnt traditional vietnamese food but it was fine. Overall we would recomend.

        We booked this tour a day before the actual trip itself. A few minutes later, the tour agency messaged us and asked for some special request/food allergies that they should note. Very good communication!

        The pickup service was on time, and we even arrived about 10 minutes late but they still waited for us. The tour guide can speak fluent English. The posted itinerary was followed throughout the trip.

        The cruise ship is relatively okay, as well as its crew and staff. The food is so good, you will not be disappointed! But take note that every drink has its fee (3$ each), so better think first before getting the pineapple/mango juice during meals.

        It's better to check the weather first before going, because during our first day, it was raining so hard and we had to wait for the rain to stop before going back to the cruise ship.

        Overall, this tour will definitely be a memorable experience especially if you're with the best people! My friends and I recommend this tour :)
