5.00Our tour guide, Sunny, was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable and took such lovely photos of my family and I. The coach bus was also very luxe with nice reclining seats, free wifi and complimentary bottled water. Would definitely recommend Sunny and the tour to anyone who is interested in seeing Hanoi and the Ha Long bay.
Highly suggested itinerary for families

5.00Great day trip from Hanoi. Mua Cave is the highlight. The climb to the top is hard (550) steps but well worth it. If you have time in Hanoi, do it.
Great experience to see a lot of Ninh Binh in one day!

5.00Sunny did such a great job with the tour. The trip was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. It was such a cool way to see another part of Vietnam. We went during June, which is not peak tourist time and Sunny made sure we were always well hydrated and we always came back to a cool & lovely bus. The meal was delicious, and just overall some of the most serene places I have ever seen! We always felt one step ahead of the crowds, the pace was great for our traveling and nothing felt too rushed or busy at any time.
Beautiful trip and nature

5.00This tour was great!! We honestly didn’t have much expectation going in but our group found the last two activities riding the boat and the hike super fun. We also had a great tour guide (Sunny!!!) who was very informative about Vietnam the entire time during the bus rides and then gave us free time when we got to certain locations so everyone / group could explore at their own pace. Our group also didn’t bring any food which was fine because we had positive experience with the buffet as well. Only thing I would note is that you should expect to drink more water than the two bottles they give you (there were many opportunities to buy water throughout though).
Perfect Romantic Getaway for Couples! ✨
