Quy was amazing!! He was knowledgeable, funny, and very professional. Would highly recommend this tour. The boat ride is a little long, though.

Incredibly knowledgeable guide who gave the entire group a glimpse of Vietnamese history related to the ancient capital of Hoa Lu. The trip included a very comfortable ride to all locations, hiking, lunch, free cycling experience and a 1.5 h boat ride in the stunning Trang A landscape. Would choose this tour from Hanoi anytime again.

Quy was an amazing guide. He was very clear and concise. He had interesting and funny things to say during the whole day. He gave us a lot of free time to explore the areas in our own while keeping us on schedule.
