5.00The guide, Two, was knowledgeable, helpful and was very fluent in English. His attitude was excellent. The limousine bus was safe, extremely comfortable, clean and provided wifi and chargers during the trip. Water was also provided. The restaurant we were taken to was very good and clean. The itinerary and activities were superb. We first stop to stretch our legs in a multi brand store were we could get some coffee, souvenirs and even jewelry. Then we visited the ancient capital, has a bike ride in a little village, a boat tour around Trang An and ( unbelievably beautiful) and a trekking up a hill in Mua Cave( amazing views). All in all, excellent itinerary.
Perfect day trip out - Trang An

5.00Great experience, we had a helpful, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide to show us around with acomfortable bus, free wifi on board and water bottles! I felt the itinerary and schedule was perfect timing, starting with Hoa Lu, 30 mins cycling or relaxing at the restaurant, buffet, Trang An (what I chose for this tour), then finally Mua Cave. Trang An boat tour took through some scenic routes including going under mountain caves. Perfect day trip for those looking to do something in Hanoi.
