I'd done an overnight trip through Ha Long Bay the day before so I was a bit worried I might be disappointed by this day tour. We had a stop at a store on the 2.5 hour drive from Ha Noi which was a lot smaller than the one we'd stopped at going to Ha Long Bay, but it also had things that were different. The history of Hoa Lu was great, as were the ancient pagodas, but I feel the tour guides in Vietnam are very long winded, as they do extensive lectures, with no visual context. I'm a school teacher and I'd suggest maybe a one page visual stimulus otherwise you'd have no chance at remembering all the information. How ever the boat ride on the Ngo Dong River from Tam Coc was amazing, the highlight of a 2 and a half week tour through Cambodia and Vietnam! Apart from the amazing scenery, think Ha Long Bay, but closer around a river, where the river even goes under the mountains in caves a few times in the journey, the people rowing use mainly their feet! So dexterous and skilled its a wonder to witness. The included bike ride was nothing much, so I walked around the town instead. This trip is worth it for the boat ride alone. I've done motor boats on the Guilin River, China, with similar scenery, but this is closer and more intimate with the landscape. I'd recommend it!

Worth the travel to Tam Coc . the boat ride! The long boat ride was relaxing with fantastic view... we cycled along the peaceful padi fields after the boat ride, beautiful!

Our group of four had a great day on this tour. Our guide, affectionately known as Mr Key, was a gracious host. He did his best to provide background history, explain what we were seeing, and the hardest part to keep us all together. I would recommend to anyone wanting to see Tam Coc! Worth it!

We were picked up on time even though our hotel was not in the Old Quarter. Quite a long day as trip there and back is quite long. This was not helped by having another tour group in our bus that meant we went slightly out of our way to drop them off and pick them up. If our tour had been full this probably would not have happened.Trip up the river was interesting and relaxing and the bike ride following it gave you a chance to look at the county from a different perspective. On return to Ha Noi traffic in the centre was very congested so guide put us in a taxi back to our hotel at their expense.
