A fantastic day from start to finish, absolutely made by Tom our brilliant tour guide who deserves all the credit for what will be a lifelong memory Thank you Tom!
Great day tour from Hanoi included Hang Mua mountain climb, sampan ride and visit to temple at Hoa Lu. Our guide Hoa (aka Bruce Lee) looked after us very well especially climbing the mountain. The view at the top of mountain was worth the climb. The lilies in the valley were beautiful. Deserves the title of Ha Long Bay on land.
Very easy and comfortable tour, good driver and excellent guide, Bruce Lee! We visited interesting places and it was well organised.
We had a fantastic day today with our marvellous tour guide "Bruce Lee" and a great driver. Taken to a lovely temple and educated about the history of the kings and the country. Then on to a short hike up the 500 steps to the top of the mountain. Some of the steps felt like you go up the mountain in one or two steps, so if you go wear good shoes and expect to sweat a lot. After our decent we were then taken back to collect our bicycles for a lovely little ride to a traditional farm home for tea and peanut cake. After that it was time for a large lunch at the restaurant. The food is amazing and you come out very full up. We were then off for a boat trip down the river. Amazing views and wildlife withe the boat people's unique way of paddling you. And then the day was done so back in the air con bus and back safe and sound to the hotel avoiding the crowds of mopeds and drivers who had to be in any lane thet they wanted. Would have to say the whole day was amazing and all down to the great Bruce Lee. A star of Vietnam
Our tour was wonderful. Our guide QA was exceptional. He was funny, knowledgeable and very accommodating to our needs. He made sure we were safe and during the hot heat and spoke English very well. Definitely would recommend QA and his tour company.
Amazing and professional and very detail oriented. The tour guy QA was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and history of Ninh Binh. I would highly recommend booking QA for Ninh Binh tour
Bruce Lee was an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable/ made sure we were all taken care of throughout the day. Would recommend to anyone visiting Vietnam.
I you are looking for the opportunity to see as much as possible in one day, seriously this day trip ticks all the boxes. Bruce Lee is a wealth of knowledge, he has a passion to make sure everyone is safe in every aspect especially when today was hot and so much to see and experience.
It was a great trip and our guide Bruce Lee was amazing. Very generous and helpful!
A very insightful and enjoyable tour with excellent work from our guide, who was also funny.
