Very Packed but Fulfilling Day - Be prepared for a FULL, adventurous & active day!!
Hotel Pickup&dropoff was Godsent.
There were 7 of us total. Nice van for the ride. Jun was a very sweet & an informative guide.
They do drop you off at a giftshop (trap)/restroom on the way there and back which was nice if you needed to pee, bad if you didn't want to buy anything but felt like you needed to as the workers flock you.
Started off the trip going to the temples - Jun gave us a tour of the first temple but then gave us free time to roam around for the second temple on our own (good & bad because it would be nice to get a guide for the entire place, not just half)
Then we biked around the "country side" (bikes were very old/rusty/very uncomfortable). The views were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Well worth the bad bikes. Definitely worked up an appetite for lunch. Lunch was SUPER packed and absolutely delicious. Had a big variety of different type of meat/veggies so everyone was pretty satisfied.
After eating we headed to the boat rides where we were able to help our boat "driver" paddle which was honestly a workout but really fun. He was super sweet and took photos of us as well. Jun was MVP for providing cushions for us to sit on.
After the boat we grabbed a snack before heading to our last adventure of the day: HIKING! By this time my friend was exhausted so Jun was able to show her a place to get feet massages while I hiked BOTH trails. Very exhausting but SO worth it. The views were absolutely stunning. I wish we had more time here because I wanted to enjoy seeing the caves & lily field more but couldn't because we had to go back home. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this tour. Jun ended it with giving us free snack which was a plus!
FYI if you aren't that active you can still enjoy this tour by relaxing and sitting. you do NOT have to do all the activities!

Family trip for my husband and our grown daughter - Interesting program, no extra stops, all business. A good combination of physical activity and leisure, there is a bike ride, a boat ride, and uphill trekking.
The good guide Lui talks interestingly, anticipated our desires: took photos and videos in beautiful locations, found me a comfortable bike. He was attentive and friendly.
After the tour answered our questions, made recommendations about interesting locations and excursions in Vietnam. We wanted to see the street with the train, he explained how to get there, checked the train schedule and asked the driver to stop the bus near where we wanted it.

Amazing day trip - We had an amazing time with our Tour Guide Loi! He knew lots of amazing information and we had the most amazing time. Kayaking, cycling and hiking it had it all as well as meeting new friends on the way we had a great time and recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi.

Nature and spirituality - A wonderful experience on the set of the movie "Kong: Skull Island", a place in the middle of nature.
