Fantastic tour with Maya. Weather wasn’t great so although we climbed to the top of lying dragon mountain we saw no views as was foggy. Meal was nice in restaurant, spring rolls, rice, chips, fish, goat meat. Cycling was nice although some cycling on main road and I’m not that confident. Boat ride would have been lovely had it been dry.

I had such a great time! Leo, our guide was a huge part of the fun. He shared history, adventure, laugher and took very good care of us. I especially enjoyed the bike ride, it wasn't too long and took us by rice fields where farmers were planting new crops. This tour is great to get you out of the city and see the Vietnam countryside.

This is the perfect day trip and the best one I've done all around the world. You get picked up in a comfortable vehicle and the trip there you get to see Hanois bustling traffic and the countryside. The trip is very well organised, so you don't have to think about anything except what you want to drink. If it's winter season bring a sweater for the boat tour, it can get chilly. DON'T SKIP the bike tour!! It's so relaxing and cool. You also make a stop at a very beautiful pagoda and temple. Thank you to our Tam for a perfext daytrip.

What a fabulous guide and tour! Thrang, our guide, was adorable, knowledgeable and just so nice! We saw Temples, had a 400 step climb to the most amazing panoramic view, had a 1 1/2 hour cruise through rice fields and caves, a delicious lunch and a bike ride through a village. Last, the group enjoyed Vietnamese coffees before heading back! An activity packed day!

A full day but well planned and interesting with some moderate activities. Tour guide Mai was excellent.
