This trip was awesome, despite the weather. It was foggy and a bit cold, but anyways. Tour guide Mika is such a nice guy and he knows so much!

Great river journey. Travel the caves of Tam Coc and marvel at the flooded cave karst method and mountain pagodas. People that are kind and a lot of activities to do and wonderful nature. I enjoyed traveling around by bike. We went taking a bike ride to find a pagoda. It was a nice ride through a village — cheap goods areas and good food

You'll be able to get amazing, fantastic photos in this area, to check out some of the caves and Bich Dong Temple. In the boat and so near the rock structures and the serenity of the river or lake was the highlight. The countryside is lovely, with beautiful mountains and rice fields. The local people in this position were also very friendly. It is highly recommended

The guide is the most important part of any tour and Quan did an excellent job! He was always smiling and happy to answer questions about the tour or general Vietnamese culture. He even made the bus ride interesting with commentary about the sights we passed along the way. While on the tour, he made sure everyone was informed about what we were doing, including giving us advice about tipping the boat rowers. His English was perfect and he was easy to talk to. The itinerary for my trip was slightly different than the one listed here, so I won't comment too much on specifics. However, I can say that the tour was planned so that we weren't rushed anywhere, which is a welcome change from some other tour operators. Regardless of the details, Ninh Binh is a beautiful place to visit as a day trip to Hanoi and I felt that the price for this tour was reasonable. Highly recommended.

It was such a great time travelling in Tam Coc with this tour. The tour guide is very knowledgeable in the history and culture of the place, and also enthusiastic in showing his guests around! The scenery is stunning, with the sweet autumn breeze blowing in the face, goats and cows walking by. The feeling of being surrounded by all the green hills and water is so fascinating that I am really in love with Tam Coc (and I have actually revisited it again later).

I was traveling Tam Coc one day. This is really one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to the world. Our guide and driver are very friendly, I will definitely come back here the next time to Vietnam

The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We got to visit all the the temples and as a bonus, we visited their village and got to appreciate how they live. It was very educational and even surprising to see how they make out with so little. Great experience!
