“Bewitching Halong Bay by 3 days 2 night on Grayline cruise”

(Reviewed Jun 08, 2017)

We did 3 day 2 night trip in Halong Bay and paid quite lots of money for that. However, there was no regret as it worth's every single dollars. First impression was the super friendly and helpful from the cruise staff when i step on the cruise until leaving the cruise.
All activities during the trip are as same as the travel consultant said (Ms Yan or Yang, i can not remember exactly).
In overall, my experience about the travel agent i worked with and about the cruise i stayed is incredible.
