Joyful trip covering history, hiking and culture mese culture - We were lucky with the weather was overcast as in would have been hard work in the sun. The mist hugged the hills making it very atmospheric. Do not be put off by a little rain as it made the hiking far more refreshing than otherwise. Firstly we cycled to the emperors temple to explore and learn about the Vietnamese dynasties - super interesting with some very dramatic characters. Had a very yummy lunch... Go for the spring rolls and goat if they're on offer. We then had a leisurely boat ride but my bum was sore (bring a jumper to soften your seat ). Then we challenged ourselves to climbing both routes at tam coc - watch out steps are slippery when wet. It was a busy fulfilling tour combing history, boat ride and hiking. Victor, our guide, was witty, knowledgeable and an excellent story teller. We felt well looked after and I can see the amount of work/consideration that went into this tour. Thank you for making our trip to vietnam unforgettable, Victor and gang.

Quy the man! - Quy is a fantastic tour guide! Very informative, well educated on the history of Vietnam and super friendly. He made sure to look after us in every aspect. Whether it was water, AC, photos, lunch arrangements. He check in with us throughout the day to ensure everyone is fully aware of what the next stop is, informed us when we will stop for a bathroom break. The bus itself was beyond our expectations, it had a great AC, USB ports and spacious leather seats. The itinerary was sent over to us by Quy before the day of the l excursion and he checked in with us to see if we had any questions/concerns. We have done many excursions over the years and this ranks amongst the best, the same applies to Quy as a tour guide and I wish him all the best. Anyone who gets him on their excursions, will have a fantastic experience. Thank you for looking after us in such a meticulous manner.

Nice daytrip - The pick-up of all the guests and the drive to Ninh Binh takes quite some time but the bus was okay. First stop is a (very short) bike trip to a temple. The bikes were quite old and rusty. The lunch afterward was okay. Second stop was a boat trip in beautiful landscape. Our rower expected 50.000 tip which we thought was a bit much. Third stop was my personal highlight: climbing up 500 stairs to the lying dragon at Mua cave to enjoy a stunning view! Our guide Quy was very friendly and gave interesting information about the sights an Vietnam in general.

Good tour in Ninh Binh - The guide was really competent and funny. He explained to the group a lot of things about the Vietnamese culture. The only negative note, they gave us water in the bus that was hot. When the temperature is more then 30 degrees, I would recommend to bring a fridge with fresh water Also it would be great to spend more time in Mua cave, 1 hour is really tight
