5.00Amazing day spent seeing the must-see attractions as well as some clicking some very memorable pics. And the lunch was good as well (I’m a vegetarian and was really well catered for) . Highly recommend this good mix of instagrammable photos (incense village) + breathtaking scenery of Tam Coc + culturally rich temple excursion on your Hanoi trip. Our guide Mr. Augustine was very chatty and friendly and helped us throughout the tour and kept us entertained with plenty of Vietnamese stories and jokes.
That was quite a day

5.00The trip was very well organized & our guide was very considerate (ensuring that everyone was comfortable & having a good time), & knowledgeable. It is especially worth doing if you want to take lots of interesting/colorful photos. It's a full day, from 7.15-6, so it is also good value for money.
A great day

⭐ A Perfect Day Exploring Vietnam with “Bruce Lee”

5.00We had a fantastic private tour in Vietnam with our guide, nicknamed Bruce Lee. He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, giving us clear and interesting explanations about everything we saw along the way. One of the highlights was the boat trip — we really enjoyed cruising through the water and taking in the beautiful lotus farm. It was peaceful, scenic, and very memorable. We were extremely well looked after throughout the tour, with plenty of cold water, umbrellas for the sun, soft cushions on the boat, and thoughtful little touches that made the experience comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a private, well-organised experience with a great guide who truly cares about his guests.

Absolutely gourgeous trip!
