5.00So many awesome activities wrapped up into one day! Our favorite was the cycling and the hike. The lunch buffet was delicious as well! Very nice and spacious bus, and pick up was super convenient and straightforward. We really enjoyed Sunny’s commentary and history lessons on each place we were going to, and learning about what daily life looks like. Highly recommend!

5.00This one-day tour is well worth booking to see a lot in a short time. It’s a perfect escape from the city with a moderate activity level and a great way to meet fellow travelers. Our guide, Sunny, was fantastic - keeping the energy high while providing a perfect balance of historical insight. Communication was great from time of booking until the end of the tour and he did a great job of keeping us apart from the crowds where possible. Sunny also shared helpful Vietnam travel tips and local recommendations, ensuring we had plenty of bottled water throughout the day. Highly recommended for an insightful and seamless experience!
Great day trip with fun activities!
