Great tour guide and beautiful scenery! - It was really cool! The bus service to pick you up was organized really quickly and with no issues at all. Our tour guide Viet was so great and he really delved into the history of Vietnam and was really passionate about it. He was super nice and always had a helping hand. We cycled on our first stop through the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. The boat tour was amazing and something I’ve never seen before! Although it was tough with the weather sometimes because it was very humid, I wouldn’t want to miss it for a second!

Fantastic Guide and Great Experience - Wonderful experience, totally worth the money and the time. Three main activities plus lunch. First off a ride to the Ancient Capital, for those like me who aren't used to cycling the van will take us to the next stop without problem. Scenery is still great along the ride and we had plenty of time while waiting for the others (riders) to arrive and took photos ourselves. Tips: just say no to the random photo-takers who want to sell photos to you. Nothing threatening but just say no. Then the visit to the Ancient Capital is short and introduction from the guide is concise. One is not gonna be board by a history/anthropology lecture but still gets what's important for the past of the place. After lunch the boat trip to Tam Coc river, 2-3 ppl per boat (but you wont be squeezed into one with ppl you don't know, don't worry). a fantastic experience. Hot but Vietnamese cone-shaped hats are prepared by the guide which help shield off the heat. Everything well thought out and fluid, so we could enjoy the scenery along the river without any distraction. To close off the guide led us to climb the Mua Cave. 500 more steps and it can be challenging, especially already after a half-day exercise, but the higher you climb the more astonishing the views you get. You can abandon and climb off, so suit yourself depending on you physical endurance. If the steps are not for you, there's a lotus field at the bottom, which also worths a visit. Tips: However one may not get enough time to do both - climb the cave AND visit the lotus field, so decide before you start. Nothing is possible without the wonderful tour guide and the driver. We had Mr. LONG as our guide and he's very clear and funny, and always available if you have any needs or questions. He absolutely knows his trade and his generosity makes us feel safe. One to be trusted and relied upon; I'm sure our fellow visitors felt the same and appreciate him as much, if not more so. The van ride was calm and not at all bumpy, even one as prone to car-sickedness as I will feel at ease. Kudos to the driver as well. Given the very reasonable price I cannot not recommend the trip. Only thing the could be improve: maybe the lunch buffet - it's ample but the quality is just average I would say. But then the food isn't the selling point of the trip; and you can discover much more when you wander around Hanoi city. To close off, great thanks to the organizer THI, the guide LONG and the driver.

Fun, long day excursion - Boat ride was great. Hike up mountain hot and hard work, but work to the view, although it was very crowded at top. Bike riding fun.

Memorable amazing experience - Such a great experience. I was a sweaty mess by the end but it was worth every drop of it. Long is one of the best and funniest tour guides I’ve ever experienced. This was truly a memorable trip I will never forget. Thank you, Long!! - The guy you kept calling Drake

If you want an excellent experience in Nihn Binh, this is the tour you have to be in! We highly recommend it. - It was indeed an excellent experience that we would like to share to our friends and family for them to try in the future. We appreciate the tour guide Bao, who had a very great sense of humor, and shared many interesting information about the places we visited. Bus seats were comfortable, places we've been are very picturesque. We enjoyed the bike and boat rides. Great value for your money.

Amazing tour - The tour was amazing. Very organized and we had Bao as our tour guide. He provided great insight into the Vietnamese culture and was very entertaining. The bike ride to the temple was great. Lunch had lots of variety and was in an air conditioned room (very much appreciated). After lunch we did the boat ride ( I agree with other comments that it’s a bit long ) but the scenery ( lots of goats on the mountainside) were neat to see. Did the walk up to the top of dragon mountain. They allow enough time to go slow. A very organized tour from start to finish. I would not hesitate to book with this company again. Awesome day !
