Duc was a wonderful guide, warm and friendly. He is knowledgable and shared with us about the culture and attractions of Vietnam in excellent english.
Kayaking was a fantastic and ultra fun activity and as a small group, we have bonded during the bbq dinner and Tai chi (with the bees ;)). Overall, it will be unforgettable and this shall remain in my memories to remember fondly. Thank you, Duc and Renea Cruises!
Briliant experience. The transferes were well organised. The activities were brilliant including kayaking, swimming and squid fishing. As well the food was exceptional. The boat and cabin were great also. Our guide Cong was brilliant and made the whole experience throughly entertaining and humerous! Would recommend every time!
Very pleasant and relaxing time on the cruise, our guide Duc was super friendly, funny and informative. Smooth pickup and dropoff from our hotel in Hanoi. They were very accommodating to our dietary restrictions as well.
Amazing experience on this cruise. Staff are very attentive, the tour guide was excellent, friendly and knowledgeable. We packed so much into 24 hours. Each meal was 4 or 5 courses and delicious. Would recommend to anyone. Breathtaking scenery.
