I signed my family (3 young adults and one teen) up for an overnight on Halong Bay. I had read that this was a "must do" when visiting Vietnam, but I really didn't know what to expect. Lucky and the driver picked us up from our hotel pretty early and they let us sleep for a little bit before starting to talk and explain the trip. My children and I enjoyed the whole...

We were greated at our hotel by our tour guide Sunny, he could not have been more knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was lovely and the trip to Halong Bay was epic and definately a must see. We were really satisfied with the quality of this trip. The food was amazing and really diverse, but what made it for us was Sunny. he seemed genuinely interested in our trip and...

We were couple having a 2D1N trip to Halong Bay. Overall, we are satisfied during our stay with Alova Gold Cruise.

What we like:
- Well-organized trip
- Clean & well-maintained bed room

- Fresh juice & mocktail are excellent
- Quite night on...

I visited Hanoi last year in July with my wife and we knew we had to visit Ha Long Bay. We took the 2 day cruise with Alova, because we read good things about it on trip advisor and it was without a doubt the highlight of our vacation. From the moment they picked us up from our hotel, to the moment they brought us back it was very well organized. The guide was very knowledgeable and cruise...

I've already posted this review but it has been deleted.
The reason given was that my review was concerning the overnight tour and not the day one. Even though you can find some good reviews concerning the overnight tour it appears that an average rating is not as well appreciated. Let's give it another try...

My girlfriend and I went for 3 days 2 nights cruise.

As a part of our group tour in Vietnam I was lucky to have visited the Ha long Bay, in one of Alova Gold Cruise Boats. The group included 12 Sri Lankans and 4 German guests. The very friendly, very courteous, very soft spoken Dutch manager, Sidney, and very friendly and witty tour guide Kim met us at the bay and helped us into the transfer boat.

We reached the...

At first, I was hesitant to visit Halong Bay because from what I've read, travel will take four hours from Hanoi. But the lovely staff of Hanoi Paradise Hotel said a trip to Hanoi is not complete without visiting Hanoi Bay. So I took the 1 day Halong Bay Tour. And they are definitely right!

Though the travel from Hanoi to Halong Bay was about 3 to 4 hours, our...

I and my friend were on Alova Gold for 1 night trip. The tour guide - Mr. Thang, together with cruise manager - Sydney did such a good job of the host and made us feel like at home. The tour guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Food was great, too.
For the cruise, well... it's so so I think. Clean cabin, hot water available. That's all I need for a superior...

eboekt bij Martin van Go Asia Tours. Een gastvrije gezellige medewerker, die ons uitgenodigd heeft op de koffie in een echt Vietnamees koffiehuis. Wij hebben bij hem 1 nacht, 2 dagen Alova Cruise geboekt. Het is in januari niet het beste weer om er naar toe te gaan, dus 1 nacht was met dit koude weer voldoende. 

Mooie vrij nieuwe boot, leuke 2 persoons hut, heerlijk klaargemaakte...

Nachdem wir uns durch die vielen Angebote geklickt hatten, entschieden wir uns aufgrund einiger positiver Reviews bzgl. des Preis-Leistungs-Verhaeltnisses und des freundlichen E-Mail-Kontaktes zu Alova (Martin Nguyen) fuer diese Tour und können beruhigt sagen, es hat sich gelohnt - und war mit etwas mehr als 100 Dollar deutlich günstiger als viele andere Angebote. Die Tour war sehr gut...
