He might know about other cruises for Bai Tu Long Bay too.
Best deals are via email especially for last minute cruises. Very easy to deal with.
Would definitely not recommend an one day trip unless absolutely necessary.
Hes 1 of several that I contacted. Basically they are all the same. with rare exception everyone provides r/t transfers from Hanoi. The more expensive the crusie the better the type of transport
Seems the key to any kind of an Upgrade is booking the very last min, the neg to that is the boat or boats you want are now soldout. Seems most boats have a dz rooms max, if that.
I will say from everyone Ive been emailing back & forth with, he seems to be the most honest and forthcoming. Thats why when I eventually do book it will be with him
Indochina was honest as well, but only their more expensive boat stops where I want to, so unless they will offer it (I doubt it since it has all of 10 rooms) for what the DeLuxe with DC will be , then DC it will be
