Very eventful! - This tour was fantastic! We got to see so many things all in good time at each one. Our tour guide, Ngoc, was very knowledgeable and so upbeat! I would just caution everyone who goes to prepare to sweat alot and bring a hat and/or umbrella since the sun and stairs is no joke! However, you also don’t have to do the stairs and just enjoy the surrounding mountains.

Beautiful trip from Hanoi to Ninh Binh - Very fun tour! Learning about the old capitol from our tour guide Lee, was enlightening and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious at the buffet. The bike ride was memorable and relaxed. Our tour guide Lee was very knowledgeable and humorous. There were lots of beautiful photo opportunities along the way. The flow of the day was great, everything was timed super well and we did not feel rushed. We also appreciated how accommodatiing and tailored all the activities were for everyone. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous and breathtaking during the short hike and boat tour. Overall it was one of our favorite things to do on our trip to Hanoi and Ninh Binh!

Great Tour Experience and Amazing Tour Guide - We booked Hoa Lu - Hang Mua - Tam Coc (Deluxe small group tour) in the last minute through Tripadvisor. It was so smooth and prompt to get the confirmation. By the next morning, Bingo! The tour guide was already at our door steps in the hotel. We were so grateful choosing the above tour package as it turned out to be the best that we had for a day tour. Mr. Lee was so polite by letting us know prior to pick-up. He has been communicative and helpful throughout the journey. He is such lovely and fun person. We were given a bottle of water as promised before the tour started. He guided us and explained the historical places of every visit. The lunch had lots of varieties of food choices and it's a buffet lunch.
Mr. Lee took the best care of us and shared about the food list where the locals go.
During the Tam Coc visit, you need to give a tip to the Rower as they row the boat manually for about 11 KM. In the journey, there is also a season photographer who will take a pic or two for you and you need to haggle the price. Just beware that they will print some albums for you which was not informed in advance.
Overall the tour has been fruitful and full of memories. Very recommended.
