Excellent. Right from your hotel, a charming Vietnamese guy by the name of Lucky would greet and assist you on to the coaster bus. You might be a bit sleepy because it starts early at 8 am but this guy’s cheerful introduction and his convenient fluency in English will let you anticipate a good start of the tour that you will enjoy for the rest of the day. And it did! We were at Ha Long before lunch time and we were already acquainted with fellow travelers and tourists as we were allotted to introduce ourselves. While in alova gold cruises, safety was the topmost priority in the tour but that didn’t create hassle for us to enjoy ourselves with the view of the entire Ha Long bay at the upper deck of the boat. We even manage to have a small boat ride inside the island lagoon. In this tour, you don’t end with nothing to learn. You will gain insights about Vietnamese beliefs, culture and their way of life. A visit to the cave inside Ha Long will complete the experience of your Vietnam tour.
