  1. Kickflip029

    The kayaking was a good thing to do. There was good food. Both trips on the bus were clean and on time. Also, don’t bring too much stuff; the rooms have everything you need. Lee, the tour guide also speaks English well and can answer our questions. The cruise was big and well-kept.

  2. Kate H

    The cruise was beautiful, the staff was nice and helpful, and the food was good as well. The view of Halong Bay was an amazing part of the trip. We took their limo bus to get there, which wasn’t very comfy but was fine. Alex and Lee, our tour guides, were very friendly and helpful.

  3. Katie

    We only had a few days to spend in Vietnam during our trip to Southeast Asia, so our family took a short trip to Ha Long Bay with Dora Cruise. Lee, our tour guide, was good, nice, and cared about everyone. I want to go back…! Love to recommend to others.

  4. Peter R

    It was nice and laid-back. Bobby was a wonderful leader. He was friendly and helpful, and we felt very at ease. Happy tp come back again.

  5. Louis L

    The journey was very enjoyable. The bus was nice to ride. Everything went smoothly. Dung Lee, who was our tour guide, was one of the best: You speak English well and have a great sense of humor. You are also very helpful.

  6. Mimi H

    Le was a nice person who helped people get from Hanoi to Tuan Cháu. The driver gives water and creates a nice environment.

  7. Sam C

    The staff is friendly, providing excellent service, and the room is clean. Boo and the cruise manager were all very helpful, with their smiles always shine.
