We used Inside Travel to book our HaLong Bay Cruise with Orchid Cruises. Rosie was professional, efficient and helped us plan a wonderful cruise, along with transportation to and from the cruise. Would highly recommend Inside Travel and Rosie!
This was my second booking with Inside travel for halong bay cruise. The orchid classic was splendid as always and the staff wonderful as always. Special mention to Jessie who made all my bookings and was so prompt and professional. Infact the hospitality left me in awe. Wish you guys lots of success!
Sophie helped us book our halong bay cruise. She was patient, very quick to respond and had excellent communication. Would use the service again!
We recently booked our Halong Bay cruise on the Capella through Inside Travel, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the service. From start to finish, everything was seamless. Sophie was our main point of contact and she was absolutely fantastic, always responsive, helpful, and thorough in her communication.
Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a reliable and well-organised travel experience in Vietnam.
