Amazing Ha Long Bay Cruise With Terrific Tour Guide - We had a brilliant time on this cruise. Alex was a fantastic tour guide with great English skills and a really friendly demeanour. The activities were a lot of fun and in terms of the food, it was delicious and they also made a real effort to accommodate my girlfriend's vegetarianism. Would thoroughly recommend, and I hope you get Alex if you go! He's excellent.

Halong Bay solo - The trip was very well organized and our guide Alex was great with a good sense of humour. Halong Bay although clouded was still great.

Moved to Mila Cruise and very much overcommercialised - I was lucky as this trip was cancelled on short notice, and I was moved to Mila Cruise. This happened with other guests from other ships as well having paid a much higher fee. As a solo traveller, Ha Long Bay is definitely on the more expensive and touristy side, with tens of ships constantly being in the Bay. Mila Cruise had nice staff, which ushered you from activity to activity and tried to entertain as much as possible. Squid fishing did not happen and the time at each activity, especially at TiTop Island on the last day was very rushed as we had to return to the harbour already at 10am and leave the boat by 11am. But this happens on most if not all the 2 day cruises.

Terrible - У меня был неприятный опыт в поезде. В поезде много наклеек и мышей. Еда, которую я не могу есть. I had an unpleasant experience on the train. There are a lot of stickers and mice on the train. Food I can't eat.

Bad cruise - we didn't get a 4* ship as we were supposed to, but we got a very old and poor quality ship. At first our tourists refused to board it, but due to lack of other options I convinced them to continue. Now in the middle on nova, 5 people had to sleep in one room due to the presence of cockroaches in one of the rooms. The ship's engine is very noisy and you can't sleep here. This is the worst ship we've ever been on, let alone is 4*. Tomorrow morning I expect a riot from the tourists. I am so worried and disturbed by this fact that I do not know what to tell them. Please resolve this matter and guarantee me that for our next group we will only receive the most high quality.I will forward you a picture of cockroaches in the room.I am sure we will have major complaints.I am sorry to bother you but understand the situation I am put in.
