This tour started off as a disaster, the weather was bad, the tour guide was 1 hour late 😓 and the bus was cramped - but the tour guide was full of information, very friendly and helpful and the activities(kayaking and the caves) were very good. For £40 it’s not bad, with a seafood lunch 🥗 and you can buy beers at 50k each on board. the tour only drops off/picks up in Old Quarter which is a bit annoying - don’t go to the tour office to be picked up as they speak no English and don’t have the tour bookings on their system - it made us worry that we’d been charged without the tour booing going through.
Perfect oganisation, perfekt guides very kind, helpful and with good knowledge of the places we went to. Very interesting background given to culture and history of Vietnam. Stunning countryside with magnificant views.
I’m telling you this one was a fantastic tour. Aloha tours showed up on time to pick us up in our hotel, our tour guide Rose was very a knowledgeable and happily answered all questions with her beautiful smile. Even thou it was cold and raining the sites were gorgeous. Rise was helpful and kind and sweet. She even lend me her scarf to keep me warm. The temples, the boat ride, the hiking up the mountain to get the best view of the lake all was beautiful and worth the 2 hours bus ride! I will highly recommend the tour.
