Full day active tour - Nam and his driver picked us up directly from the hotel for this amazing tour. Everything was handled and all we had to do was follow and enjoy ourselves! Our first stop was mua cave and lying dragon mountain. It's 500 steps to the top and can be a bit tiring with difficult steps, but we'll worth the view once you get to the top, you can see the tam coc river and the lotus flower fields! Great picture spot. After that we stopped and got bicycles where we rode about 10-15 minutes to a locals house and learned all about the local culture from her. Another great and insightful experience. In the same area we visited a pagoda and learned a little bit about local beliefs. Next was lunch at a local restaurant, food was amazing, but extra drinks were not included so make sure you bring extra cash if you'd like to try some hanoi or saigon beer!! From there we headed to tam coc for our boat ride which lasted about an hour. This was the highlight for me as the views were amazing. Make sure you bring lots of water as it's a long day. Overall our guide Nam was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions!! Highly recommend.

Beautiful scenery - worth taking this tour! - Very comprehensive tour with beautiful scenery. Bicycle with hand brakes was easy to use and the road was very flat. The Boat tour was stunning but about 20 minutes too long. The food at the restaurant was good but most of us did not care for the pumpkin soup or shredded carrot (?) dish. All in all it was a great experience and we are glad we did it.

Amazing tour! - Best company we ever took a tour with! The car had massaging seats 😁 very good, safe driver too! Our guide Phil was so nice and friendly, very informative and took very good care of us. The views from the top of Mua cave were stunning, well worth the climb, and the boat ride through Tam Coc Bich Dong absolutely amazing! Cannot thank you guys enough, you made our holiday!

Must see when in Han Noi - Booked this tour based on hotel recommendations at 7:15 am and was picked up by 7:35! They were super accommodating throughout. Nam, our guide, even gave me his jacket to stay warm on the boat ride! Great storyteller and beautiful views. My second favourite is as out boat driver- can’t recall her name but she runs boat # 601. Dress warm in layers to be flexible with the weather. Don’t be shy to ask for photos

A great choice for our last day - An overall fantastic day. I’m glad we started with the hike. I especially loved the mix of activities and culture. Our stop at a local home for tea was unexpected and a great addition. Son and Nam were upbeat, organized and fun.
