Mario Cuenca1 year agoMy experience in Cat Ba was very good, and partly thanks to Vietnam Venture. After asking around at several travel agencies, I ended up with the one where Ninh works (VietNam Venture). From then on, I had complete peace of mind when planning tours, trips, and more. I couldn't worry about anything thanks to the trust Ninh instilled in me, the information she gave me, her willingness to help... 100% recommended.Response from the owner1 year agoThank you so much
