We totally enjoy the tour on Indochine Cruise, specially the cycling on Cat Ba island. Halong bay is incredible, amazing. The food, staff, facilities and room are also great. Very pleasant. Great that I chosen the 3 day trip instead of the 2 day.
The cruise was impressive from the beginning to the end. The driver was very punctual and go smoothly through the highway in only 2,5 hours. We was Halong Bay 3 years ago and I remmembered that the driving time was nearly 4 hours. Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay is still wonderful. The staff was very friendly and accommdated us so welll. Our room was clean with great decor. Although the weather was so wet and foggy, we still enjoyed our trip. Would recommend to our friends and everybody.
Strongly recommend Indochine cruise to everyone! Our family had a wonderful trip on this boat. She looks so huge and nice. The cruise made us feel comfortable, very honest and smile at all times. Meals were tasty. Strongly recommend. We would be back.
This is definitely the best of our trip in Vietnam. Halong Bay is so amazing, very stunning. We love the room, staff and food. Everything was great. Appreciated!
We would like to give our special thanks to all staffs on Indochine Cruise for your warm hospitality, especially Mr. Duong, the cruise manager. We booked this tour for our honeymoon trip and the staff prepaired our room with rose pedals on the bed. It was so lovely. Other things also was great. Would surely recommend Indochine Cruise to everyone.
