Une excellente suprise
Nous avions quelques doutes au départ (choisir baie Bai Tu Long ou Halong ???) mais tout a été parfait. Cabines confortables, belles activités, repas délicieux. L’ambiance à bord était calme et détendue. On a eu l’impression d’être seuls dans la baie, c’était magique et mieux que baie d'Halong, franchement... Un grand merci à Izitour pour ses conseils et cette belle organisation. À recommander sans hésiter !

Inoubliable !!!
Très bon moment sur Garden Bay Legend. Croisière agréable et calme, baie de Bai Tu Long est mieux que baie d'Halong... Activités intéressantes, surtout le kayak. Le guide est sympa et parle bien anglais (pour un couple francais âgés comme moi et ma femme). On recommande !
