“All we wanted we got: a private transfer to Halong Bay and a cruise. As we booked the private tour option, we had the ship for our own. Food was great on the boat (way too much for 2 persons) but outside the tour company. It is prepared by the ship owner. The tourguide was ok, we figured out she is doing mainly group tours and not really set for private tours. The details were missing, sometimes there were misunderstandings due to the languague barrier.
