DO NOT BOOk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For $20!!!!!!
I paid $20 US each for the Ha Long tour from Ha Long Bay.
The bus transfer picked us up and took us to the port.
After given my tickets and was about to get on the boat I was told by the "Boat" operator that I was required to pay an additional $290,000 dong because my $20 did NOT include Boat ticket and admission to the tour stops. I called the tour operator and he said I should have read the online description and sent me a screenshot of what was "included" and at the bottom was x entrance fee to Ha Bay $290 000.????? Was NOT included in the included heading?? What??
So after about 30min of trying to figure this all out while everyone was waiting on the boat I had to pay an additional 1,160,000 dong and had no money left for food or drinks.
Finally they over stuffed the bus back to the hotels and people had to sit on each other!!!
