Free pick up and drop off at your hotel if you stay in the old quarter. The ride was very smooth and the cruise ship is fantastic. Our guide, Tom is extremely helpful and made the trip great. Would definitely recommend.
Very fun experience. I loved walking through the cave, about a 200 steps up some stairs. The beach was amazing since I went on such a hot day, a great chance to cool down. Food was also pretty good. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, including families.
It was a last minute booking but very well organised. And Tinh, our guide was a wonderful and informative host.
