Jun was a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She took photos of us on the boat trip, which was really nice of her to do. Trang An absolutely beautiful! The coach was comfortable with free water bottles. The whole trip was organised well. Definitely recommend!

We were picked up over 45 minutes late and the bus was ancient and rickety - barely any leg room and so cramped. Couldn’t hear a word that the tour guide was saying since I had to sit in the back of the bus and there is no microphone and the rickety bus was so noisy. The tour would’ve been a more enjoyable experience if the equipment was better since you spend a lot of time due to the distance, on the bus. I have never been so uncomfortable in my entire life - worse seating than economy seats on Spirit airlines. Saw a bunch of better buses at the lunch/excursion places -ours was probably the most ancient. Please, retire the ancient bus. First impressions matter - and my discomfort on the bus clouded my experience of the tour. The only reason I gave it 1 star is because the rest of the tour was fine - or else I would rate it negative stars if I could. Yes, the bus was that bad…

Fantastic tour, the highlight of our Vietnam trip. Trang An was prettier than Ha Long Bay in my opinion, and it was a perfect pairing of nature and history. A must see in Vietnam.

On this trip I visited the Ninh Binh area, Hoa Lu, Dua Caves and the waterways of Tam Coc. A long, but very safe and comfortable ride out to Ninh Binh and it was oh so worth it. Comfort stops for the obligatory tourist purchase, you don't have to buy of course. Roasting hot and humid day so lots of water and information provided throughout by our guide. Former capital of Hoa Lu was interesting, as was the 40 minute cycle ride around the paddy fields etc. Lunch was really good, very generous and delicious. The real highlight for me though were the backwaters of Tam Coc. OMG! Initially a bit deflated by the commercialism, then...a real assault on your senses. Utterly natural beauty beyond comprehension - nothing else to say really - simply stunned into silence. The rice was being harvested by resilient ladies waist deep in water, the caves were low, accessible and cool - truly outstanding scenery and an amazing experience. Ali our delightful boatman was incredible. He rowed with his feet (yes seriously) for 90 minutes, smoked 20 cigarettes, laughed, joked and took photos for us - and didn't even break into a sweat and didn't even cough. He seemed to know every boatman/woman and farmer too, a very funny guy. Then onto climb the 500 steps to the top of the mountain to get the best views of the area. Went home 12+ hours after we started ewith the most amazing memories. Vietnam and Tam Coc rocked it today... Very happy to recommend a very professional and safe tour company, guide and experience.
