Great day out in the country - What made this tour great was our guide Leo. We were part of a group of about 10 and he engaged each and every one of us with insightful stories about all the places he took us to. He made it fun for everyone and genuinely enjoyed answering questions and doing whatever he could to make everyone enjoy the day. The activities were all fun and the 500 step climb was surprisingly challenging and rewarding.

Great experience - It was an amazing experience, the cycle tours into the country side had great views. But it is a bit costly. The tour operator customised the tour as per each customer’s requests.

Overall good experience - Bai dinh pagoda complex disappointing. Built in 2003 and don’t get to see it up close Buffet lunch at nhà hàng gia hung was not good Kayaking around trang an with local was very beautiful Mua cave mountain was beautiful, stunning views. Moderate level of fitness required. Tour guide sierra was friendly and informative Tour could be more streamlined, lots of waiting around for group.
