Highly Recommended to this tour! shoutout to Mr. Minh and the uncle driver he is very friendly and knowledgeable to share the history of Vietnam. thank you so much! will definitely recommend this tour to my friends and family.
Toan was an experienced and great tour guide, one of the best in Vietnam. Tour went smoothly and was well coordinated despite having a large group. Cycling part was super fun, do not miss it!
Tour was well planned, not too much waiting time, bus was comfortable enough with usb charging. I would like to specially thank our tour guide Mr Toan, he was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and very funny. I dare say Mr Toan was the best tour guide I have ever encountered. I would highly recommend a trip with them.
It was fun. Mr. Mung is really nice and accommodating. This tour was the highlight of our Vietnam trip.
Our guide Kenny is funny and friendly. He took good care of us during the trip. We had fun visit the temple and he gave a good explanation of the history of the place. Lunch was decent and the boat trip is enjoyable though a bit long. Optional cycling can be a bit challenging for those not familiar with bicycle due to traffic on the road. My partner opt not to participate as he is not confident. some other cyclist struggling to keep up and cause some delay to the trip. Nonetheless it was a good overall and the final destination does not disappoint. A steep climb of 500 steps but was worth it.
Worth every penny. The highlight of the tour was definitely the Tam Coc boating experience. Love it!
