Violeta_V, Sep 2026

Authentic tour and less touristic

Cat Ba Ventures is a fantastic local tour operator. Going with them was a great choice, not only does it support local business, but their local expertise means they know exactly where to go and when. The tour was seamlessly organized, the rooms were clean, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed. Our guide, John, took us to incredible spots where we had the place entirely to ourselves. An amazing experience all around. Highly recommended!

Good

Overall cruise experience was great. The description of the cruise on Viator does not specify which cruise line will be booked for the experience. Even though description says luxurious cruise there was also another upgraded luxurious cruise available. It has nothing to do with cruise experience but how it is shown on Viator.
