Tim was our trip guide. Had a great experience of him explaining about culture of Vietnam.
This was a beautiful day trip. The boat trip and visiting the cave were a great experience. The buffet lunch was delicious. I can recommend this tour.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that you had a beautiful day trip and enjoyed the boat ride and cave visit — those are truly unforgettable highlights. 🌿🚣♀️✨ It’s also wonderful to know that you liked the buffet lunch and found it delicious. Thank you very much for your recommendation. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future! 😊
Bai Dinh was fantastic. However they did not take us to the Pagoda saying it would take too long. The river boat experience was good but too long. I would have been okay if it had only been 45 minutes. I did not like the quality of the buffet lunch that was served. Hygiene was an issue. There were plenty of eateries and I would have been happier if they had instead let us get our own food. Overall I think several improvements can be made to the itinerary.
I had a overall good experience. The scenery was totally worth it. The service and staff are friendly. I highly recommend this.

I had a really good experience visiting Bái Đính Pagoda, Tràng An, and Mua Caves. All the places were beautiful and well worth the visit. At Mua Caves, there is a lot of walking and climbing, especially if you take the left path, so be prepared for a good workout—but the view at the top is totally worth it. The trip coordinator were very cheerful and helpful, which made the whole journey more enjoyable. Everything was well managed, and the trip went smoothly from start to finish. Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend it.
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the beauty of Bái Đính, Tràng An, and Mua Caves. You are absolutely right—the left path at Mua Caves is a bit of a challenge, but as you said, that "dragon’s view" from the top is unbeatable! We are so glad our cheerful coordinators kept your spirits high during the climb. It’s our goal to keep things running smoothly from start to finish, and we’re happy we hit the mark for you.
