I can only recommend this tour! We went with The, who took us through the caves by boat — and we were really lucky that there was a light drizzle, which kept the humidity from getting too high. Afterwards, we visited a local restaurant where the food was excellent. Throughout the day, The explained so much to us — especially about the origins of Buddhism and the deities represented by each statue. But let me give you a heads-up: don’t underestimate this tour. You’ll be climbing a lot of stairs, and in high humidity, it can be exhausting. At first, we wanted to take on the roughly 500 steps to the summit for a panoramic view of the temple complex, but luckily The suggested an alternative: about 150 steps leading to a temple inside the mountain — and it truly took our breath away. It was a wonderful trip, and I can recommend it without hesitation. Thanks again for the fantastic organization!

Great tour. It was well coordinated. Our tour was cancelled last minute and the company offered to go to another place instead. It was worth it!

This is an excellent tour company which is why I must write this review, despite our problem. Our Ninh Binh,tour was marred by extreme traffic as we booked it for 30 April, not knowing it was reunification day in Vietnam. This is the one thing I wish our tour operator had warned us, as all of Hanoi was on the road that day 🤣 But Love Vietnam Travel is a wonderful company. Kevin the tour coordinator had many texts with me so I could pick the best tour. Once we finally arrived at Tam Coc all was smooth and impressive. They apologized for the traffic and added complimentary details to make up for it. This makes them a most reputable company. We especially loved the kings temples in the ancient city. So beautiful and peaceful. Louis our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, accommodating. The special vegetarian lunch was amazing and delicious at a beautiful restaurant.

Windy blew us away :) Highly recommend! We booked through Viator and Wendy was our tour guide. He was on time meeting us at the hotel in time for our departure. Windy was very funny, professional, kind and offered good advice and knowledge about the area. It tool exactly 2 hours to get there and 2 hours back with bathroom breaks. Despite gray skies and raindrops at times, we had a wonderful time. Thank you again Windy for your hospitality.

Incredible experience to see Central north Vietnam! Only 1.5 hours outside of Hanoi. Robert was a superb host who took me around for scenic views of Mui mountain overlooking lotus fields and the review below. Next we had a fabulous lunch at a local restaurant. Finally we had a stroll down the river and caves below with mind blowing scenery. Robert was an excellent host and it was amazing to hear his perspectives and about the history of of the region. Highly recommended!

Our family went on a private tour with Love Vietnam Travel and our tour guide was Robert and he is awesome. He spoke English frequently and was a very responsible guy. He explained everything in detail and also answered questions patiently. Our family had so much fun and are looking forward to go to Ha Long Bay with Robert. Love Vietnam Travel is highly recommended for private tour.
