Gorgeous scenery - I really enjoyed this tour. "Koala" our guide was very funny 😁 I think his jokes would have really killed if there had been more Americans on the tour. It was a long but rewarding day. The activities on tour were great. Bike riding was the highlight! It was one of the images i had in my mind before visiting Vietnam and lived up g the image.
History visiting palaces and shrines, a peaceful boat ride with gorgeous scenery and a great ending at the overlook point. I didn't choose to climb the 500 steps but those who did liked the experience and their photos/videos were beautiful. There was a lot to see in the area even though I didn't ascend to the lookout. Continually beautiful landscape throughout the tour. The lunch was buffet and just okay, but that didn't detract from the experience. Well worth the time traveling from Hanoi.

Highlight of my Vietnam trip! - This was a well-organized tour and, despite a little rain, was probably the highlight of my trip!
The bus was very comfortable and everything for the day went according to plan, with our guide Johnny doing a very good job communicating as well as pacing things out appropriately for the day.
The buffet lunch had a large variety of foods, and was pretty good (better than some other tour lunches I had), though be prepared to have a little cash on hand to buy a drink (no drinks are included with the meal.)
I loved all of the activities. We didn't have much time at Hoa Lu (which was also crowded), but Johnny offered us choices/votes of how we wanted to pace our day, and it was better to spend more time on the bike ride, Tam Coc boat ride, and at Mua Cave. All of the stops were great!

Visit - Hoa Lu and Tam Coc is a beautiful place to visit but the best part of the tour was the guide. His name is Tom Cruise or Dam. He was extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and personable. I've been on many tours, and he made this one the best. He would give advice on how to deal with hagglers on the street, tipping guidelines, and ensured safety of us and our belongings. We accidentally tipped him too little, next time you see Tom Cruise do us a favor and give that man what he deserves.

Very good tour - -The Tour operator Hanoi Green travel was excellent and very helpful also in booking other activities as well.
-I recommend the small group limo bus offered at this tour (because the smaller the bus the better, you don't want a big bus with tons of prople Inside)
-tour leader and chauffer were excellent ( Leo)
-the places visited are beautiful, a must see
-bike ride included , short but GREAT!
-food, buffet type, could be better
-overall impression: very good! Do it!
