Great trip to see awesome sites with Hai

Published on Dec, 2024

Hai was very knowledgeable and patient in answering the questions and making sure we could see all 3 sites. The boat ride through the caves in Trang A was very scenic. I would recommend tours led by him in the future.

Bai Dinh and Trang An tour

Published on Dec, 2024

My Ninh Binh tour was amazing, thanks to our incredible guide, Hai. His deep knowledge and passion brought the stunning landscapes and history to life. Hai’s kindness and personal touch made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend him for anyone visiting Ninh Binh!

Magical Hanoi

Published on May, 2024

Both Bai din & Trang An, were magical experiences. We loved the serenity and the wonderful experiences at these locations. the Bin Din Temple is almost a marvel and being a Buddhist i count myself lucky to have been there & would love to go there again to spend more time as the tour allowed only about 2hrs. Trang An, almost a natural marvel with many natural water tunnels, various buildings and artifacts from the Trang Dynasty are very interesting but the Tours give us only 2 and Half hours to cover a very large area. It is recommended that you take at least 3 to 4 hours to cover this area in detail. Overall these two locations need to be visited by anyone visiting Hanoi .

Trang Am River Cruise

Published on Jan, 2024

The caves Trang Am were awesome and floating in them was very exciting and a bit scary. There were some points were attention was definitely required: low hanging stalactites and other low hanging formations. The five passenger boats were also low with seats lower to the floor than a typical row boat but the style of the craft meets the demands of the environment though after some time you can feel uncomfortable because of the compact sitting position. The scenery was beautiful and the karst mountains were beautiful and should be seen.

Fabulous day north of Hanoi

Published on Dec, 2023

Very long day - full of activities. Our tour guide Dylan was excellent. 2 hour journey from Hanoi. Scenery was great. Pagoda was amazing - travelled by electric trolley train to pagoda then walked around with Dylan explains the history. Buffet lunch was outstanding. Over 20 different dishes. Unique experience on the river 2 hours 4 guests to a canoe rowed by an elderly lady. We had the opportunity to row which was fun racing other guests on our tour bus. King Kong Island outstanding as was going through the caves. Last stop was a bike ride or trek up a mountain for great views. Overall well worth doing this tour
