This was a great time for my friend and I! Pick up was easy and we enjoyed a day full of activities we otherwise couldn’t have logistically worked out. From the buffet lunch to biking and the boat ride and temples, all things might’ve been sort of short-lived but overall it was great to cover so much ground without worrying about anything. Recommend as a fun day trip from hanoi!

Excellent trip. Quang is a very good guide who also plays the flute. Great sceneries and good food. Boat ride was fantastic. It rained and would like to have umbrellas on the boat if possible. Would like some music or entertainment on the long two hour ride to the attractions. Overall it was a great trip but could be better.

Great tour...the ride is a bit brutal but friendships with other passengers and conversation helps to pass the time. It's about 4-hours each way on the bus after about 1-hour circling the Old Quarter to pickup other passengers can't really be avoided but does add to the time. The boat ride is really great and very enjoyable passing through three tunnels. I was slightly disappointed the it did not look like the picture being advertised with rice fields on both sides, instead it was through what is probably a better landscape of projecting rocks and caves. I can only imagine that rice fields would get old viewing them from the surface. The bike ride is short and not very spectacular...is a single road with a short walk at the end with not much to see. The adventure is in riding some Vietnam standard bicycles along the road. It would be good to have a bit more time to stop and take more pictures or explore some of the side streets. Overall a good trip and our guide, Tony, did a great job of engaging everyone.

Enjoyable tour and highlight of Hanoi trip. On land version of Halong Bay, indeed. Timely pick up, timely hotel drop off, decent lunch and something I recommend highly. Watching Kong on the way back home was added bonus, Tam Coc is where the Kong was shot.

The tour was well planned. The duration was good. But it was a 2 hours ride to the location. The guide has good knowledge about everything even tho he is young. The only thing can be improved is the lunch buffet. Amount is plenty but not the taste.

Quick pick up, small group tour, good lunch, relax boat trip! You will see local woman row boat by her leg. She could not speak English but she is really nice! She invited to buy some embroidery pictures which made by hand. It s cheaper than the things sold at the shop on the way. Tour guide is nice and very caring. Such a great tour!
