go for the halong bay tour, but not with this cruise

Sijoy_K, Apr 2025
Places we visited in this tour was good. But I won't recommend this cruise. Their buffet lunch was really bad.. very less options , no desserts & the food they had tasted so bad (we really liked the Vietnamese food in hanoi) They don't allow us to take water bottle to cruise and then they won't serve water as well in cruise. We have to buy water from cruise. The snacks (fruits) they served was very less. If you are late , it would be over. They won't refill it. So all in all, go for the halong bay tour, but not with this cruise.

I would recommend the Ha Long Bay tour I had travelled to Vietnam 13 years ago and returned in 2023 after COVID. This trip was on my agenda this time. Did not do the stairs on Ti Top island but that's OK.

Fantastic trip. Enjoying the many amazing sceneries!!!

Romlee_M, Apr 2023
Climbing the Ha Long caves & witnessing the sunset from the boat as well. All the activities were well organised. Worth every dong spent.

Ha Long Bay a delightful experience

LEA_G, Mar 2023
Superb. My second time but this time with Viator, its more impressive. It meets my expectation. Limousine bus, buffet lunch, cave tour and the boat ride were amazing.

Excellent trip

I wouldn't join them again

Ajit_K, Feb 2023
Boarding and Disembarking is very difficult. They should have had some platform or something. Wine offered was like a sample and not proper glass of wine. They don't replenish the food. We were not able to get few dishes

Pamela_M, Jan 2023
A wonderful trip jam-packed with activities and sights. Our guide Timtam was super knowledgeable and answered my detailed questions about Halong Bay. Lots of opportunities to get photos.

Great experience, recommended

Jessica_S, Jan 2023

Great day trip

kazuhisa_u, Jan 2023
It was one of my best experiences on arranged tours ever. Em Nam was a great guide all the time and I believe that was the biggest reason why my impression was so good. By the evening, he brought unbelievable clear sky as well.

Pathetic unorganised tour

Betty, Dec 2022
Look for another tour guide The one we got named Jimmy was so unhelpful unorganised and useless guide. Took over an hour foe pickup his reason company pur wronh address. No commentary made no information. At the end we were drop off a place we dont know was told street was vlose. Our street was not close. Most of us in the tour was really upset. No way I am getting a tour from Cozy.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Dear mr Betty, Firstly, we thank you so much for choosing our cruise for your holiday. We are so happy to serve you and your familly. Secondly, we are so sorry about your unhappy feeling. Actually your hotel in Hanoi Old Quarter is located in which the bus can not drop you off at the front of the hotel. We dropped you off where is far from your hotel around 50 meter from Cho Gao to 23 Nguyen Sieu ( your hotel). So I think that it is not big problem. We know that you are not really happy because of our tour guide but with 1 star, It is not worthy. Anyway, thank you again for your enjoyment. Thank you very much!

ハノイで夕食が食べられない

Osamu_Y, Mar 2023
帰りが21時くらいになるので丸一日潰れてしまいます。ハノイ市内のレストランも開いているところが少ないです。 3つあるアクティビティーを1〜2に減らし、遅くても18時くらいにはハノイに帰って、ゆっくり夕食を食べれるコースがあっても良いと思いました。
