Wonderful day with Lana as a guide - We had an excellent one day trip with this agency. We visited Bich Dong Pagoda, Mua Cave viewpoint, Hoa Lu ancient city and Trang An. Everything was perfectly organized. Our guide, Lana, was very informative and talkative. She introduced us to vietnamese culture and history and buddhism religion. She made sure that we had the best time despite the rain. I highly recommend this agency and Lana as a guide!

Great day! - We were picked up at the hotel at the appointed time. The itinerary was adapted to the climate and we first visited a temple and pagoda. After lunch, which no longer rained, we made the boat tour along the river and visit to Mua Cave. Everything was perfectly organized. The guide, very friendly, explained everything we were visiting and responded to our curiosities. We recommend it 100%.

Ninh Binh Tour - We had a great time on the Hoa Lu – Bich Dong – Trang An – Mua Cave tour. Everything was well-organized and the views were amazing, especially the boat ride in Trang An and the hike up Mua Cave. Our tour guide, Chung, was really friendly and helpful. She shared a lot of interesting facts and made the trip fun and easy for everyone. Overall, a great day trip and we’re happy we booked it!

Unforgettable experience with Kevin! - The tour with Kevin was a truly unforgettable experience. From the very first moment he engaged us with his great sense of humor and a thorough knowledge of Vietnamese history and culture. Each stage was interesting, well explained and enriched by curious stories that made us appreciate the country even more. In addition, the food during the tour was really good, always varied and with authentic flavors.

Beautiful views, lots to do and learn and great organisation - The tour was a great way to fit in lots of stops in a short period of time. Everything was very well organised, also the additional transfer from Hanoi. We did have to pay extra but that was perfectly fine since everyone else got on later. We saw several temples/pagodas, enjoyed beautiful views and had a beautiful boat tour despite the pouring rain. Also, lunch was amazing and they accommodated me being a vegetarian which I really appreciated. Our guide, driver and everyone else really did well dealing with the enormous flooding of most areas. Our guide was very friendly and well prepared, we learnt a lot. For some people it must have been perfect but for us, we would have liked to have more in depth information and experiences at individual places, even if that meant skipping a stop or two. Also, if you have any difficulty walking and climbing stairs, you won't be able to do half of the tour. Still, I'm sure your guide will take good care of you in the meantime. Anyway, we would definitely recommend the tour!
