Hanoi| Halong Bay Cruise

happened in November 2016

Unfamiliar with Hanoi, I opted to avail of the packaged tour for Halong Bay which is really the best option as it's very hard to communicate with the locals,  Thanks for the net and blogs for the very helpful tips I got on the best package available.  We booked through www.alovacruises.com - Go Asia Travel. We are also grateful to S for dealing with our bookings and even paid for it in advance.  What can I say? Life is really great!

the famous fighting cock formation.  A ritual is being held here, where every boat circles these formations as a good luck for the journey ahead.

We availed of the Halong Bay and Hao Lu Tam Loc tours for only US$106.00 for 2 days trip.  We only got the basic package for the Halong Bay but was surprised to learn that it was upgraded to a nicer boat and coaster without extra cost.  S is really a great negotiator.  The agent even visited her for this booking.  Great customer service indeed!
