Exceptional service all around 👏 - What a superb day tour, worth all the penny. Professional from confirming my booking. Received a message from Rosie within minutes of making the booking. The night before the actual tour I received a message from Key who was our tour guide. He advised the pickup time and the colour of the bus I should look out for. The bus was on time to pick me up. Key was just so superb he made the tour fun for all of us. I don't have anything negative to say about this tour except for the extreme heat which can make you skip some of the activities. The limousine bus is out of this world, AC, onboard cooler box to keep our drinks cold and very comfortable leather seats.

A wonderful day trip - This one day trip was really great value for money. Our guide Key was very knowledgeable and I learned heaps from him. A highlight for me was cycling around the rice paddy fields - amazing scenery! I also enjoyed the 2 hour Trang An boat ride. This tour was well organised and the bus was comfortable. I would highly recommend this day out and it is one that I will never forget.

Very fun day with excellent host. Very good value. - Well arranged tour facilitated by our excellent host Duc. Interesting visit to the historic city and temple. Fun bike ride around the village resort(could pump tyres up and have brakes checked on a couple of the bikes). Lunch was very adequate. Great adventure paddling around the lakes curcuit and caves and then the mount walk. Host was gracious, accommodating but efficient despite holiday traffic etc. Thankyou Duc and driver(sorry I don't know tour name) you are gifted hosts and basically genuine people. Easy to highly recommend.

It was a great tour and... - It was a great tour and Key our host was excellent! Definitely knew his history and was passionate about it.
We are not used to group tours so didn’t care for all the waiting on just a few people every stop (felt like something should have been said to them).
Loved all the activities but would have shortened the boat ride (although out of your control I understand) 2 hours is a long time sitting in a tight position.

Great experience minus the cockroach at lunch. - Great experience minus the cockroach. This was a fun packed trip and definitely worth the price. Two hour ride from Hanoi with a rest stop each way. The tour guide and driver were great. Modern, clean luxury bus with WiFi and charging outlets at your seat. Be ready for a bike ride (off road and with traffic), a 2-hour boat ride and a nice hike. The buffet seemed to be well put together and clean until one of the travelers found a large cockroach in his eggs.
