At first, we didn’t have any plans for Halong Bay. But then, before we flew back to Germany, we had one free day and no ideas about what we should do. Fortunately, we found VIA and this tour. My fiance and I were both impressed and booked immediately. It turned out to be one of the greatest decisions of my life. The bay was so stunning; how on earth could Vietnam have a place like that?
