Definitely my Ha Noi highlight - When doing Ha Long Bay cruise- it would be best to check the cruise first. Among all the ships here, i think Calista is the most luxurious!
Superb food, nice staff and clean waiting area. Drake, my guide checks on me from time to time. No need to call or ask for whatever- he anticipates what needs to be done!

The only 2 piece of feedback: the sit down dinner lacked flavour and the food was way too much - Eloide was perfect. She was virtually with us the whole time and helped us very well. She also helped us get a great deal and help celebrate birthdays. She was the best

Amazing trip to Vietnam - I have contacted Sea Travel looking for assistance to plan my first trip to Vietnam. I am so glad that I did . Tho Nguyen created a great itinerary for our trip , she included everything I wanted to do and see while in Vietnam . Her recommendations for hotels were all spot on, tour guides were excellent and everything was done in a timely manner . Great AC vehicles were provided throughout our trip. She showed herself a top notch professional , was great support and our advocate when we needed her help. I would definitely recommend Sea Travel to anyone looking for such services.

Sea Travel Vietnam The Best - Tour Operator recommended, Anh our contact person followed us step by step from the beginning of our trip until check out at the Airport
The trip was planned in Italy, but we had to change some destinations due to bad weather, the proposed alternatives satisfied us a lot.
Our tour passed Hanoi, Sapa, Halong Bay and Hang Mua Park near Ninh Bing. We should have planned at the beginning of our holiday instead of at the end the Vietnamese Street Food Tour in Hanoi to immediately get into the local mood
A special thanks to Anh always present to make us live an unforgettable experience!
