We did a 2d 1n tour of halong bay with alova gold cruises and were satisfied with their service. hotel pickup and drop off are included in their tour and meals are all provided. standard of the food and selection was good. our tour guide victor was also very friendly and helpful. he also spoke very good english and chinese (mandarin) as well and we had a great time chatting with him throughout the tour as he was very friendly and approachable. the only issue i had with the tour was that the music at the bar was turned on at full blast and it disrupted my sleep as i wanted an early night due to a tiring few days in hanoi. the music was only turned down about 11pm and i felt that it could be turned off earlier or at least turned down to a much lower volume. but overall, i would strongly recommend this cruise.
