Fantastic Tour! Highly Recommend! - Fanstastic tour! You got everything you need - chill, informative, lots of fun! Hoa has been very good in taking care of us! He surprised me with a very delicious cake as I celebrate my birthday! A very memorable experience. I strongly recommend to get him as your tour guide! The driver - Hai, was also very good. He made sure we were safe and sound the whole trip. The lunch provided was one of the most delicious Vietnamese food I have ever tasted in Vietnam. Thank you Hoa!

Amazing Day!!!! - We had a great day on our tour, made even better by the wonderful weather and our fantastic tour guide, Bruce Lee ;)) We visited the temple, a boat ride along the river at Tam Coc, which was spectacular!! and finally the incense village, stopping along the way for a tasty lunch. Bruce was very kind and informative, explaining about the history and kings of Viet Nam at the temple site. He provided cold water and wet wipes throughout the day, much needed, as it was very hot! For the boat ride he provided life jackets, umbrellas, raincoats (just in case!) and...fans he had crafted himself!!! At the incense village he walked us through the different stages of the incense stick production, from receiving the bamboo to splitting, polishing, selection, dying...hard work! Throughout the day he took a lot of photos, can't wait to see them!!! Even popped up at different stages along the river boat route for the best photo opportunities!!! Oh! And we had Bruce and a driver with a new Vietnamese manufactured electric car all to ourselves!!! which was an added bonus. Highly recommend Bruce, made us feel very comfortable and at ease, made our day extremely enjoyable!!!

Incredible views on river - Nien Nguyen was our tour guide and did his best to keep the energy going as we perhaps were overwhelmed by the heat at times. Transportation is nice and keeps you cool. Incense village was fun and the scenery was phenomenal. A must!
