Hoa Lu, Trang An & Incense Quang Phu Cau Village Day Tour from Hanoi

We had an amazing experience yesterday on our tour to Trang An, Hoa Lu and the Incense village. Our guide Duc (Aaron) was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive, he had such positive energy and really made our trip special. He was always there to help us take amazing photos, answer any questions we had and we are so grateful we had him on our tour. the Trang An boat ride was so peaceful and beautiful, then we went to the ancient capital Hoa Lu and learned interesting information about Vietnam's history, and finally we took stunning and unique photos at the Incense Village, and we also learned how they were made. It was truly a special and unforgettable day. :)

Very nice tour. We enjoyed it very much. Our guide, Zach, was very good and speaks very fluent English. We had nice chats about different topics the whole day. He got a very positive and happy vibe. I thought the Trang An river ride would be boring but turned out very interesting and relaxing. Would recommend to do it on cooler weather though.

Everything went well on this trip. We requested for a guide with very good English and the tour agency made sure we got one. Our guide Bruno (Minh) was very knowledgeable and happy to share what he knows . When he wasn't sure, he would be honest but looked it up and updated with us later. Our driver was friendly and drove around safely too. I was a little apprehensive about visiting the incense village due to the significant cost difference from the regular Ninh Binh tours at first, but it turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip! You'll get to learn about the incense making progress at the factory. Bruno was also great with photo taking! As for the boat tour, choose the route with the shortest duration (1.5hours is more than enough, you will get to see 3 temples and go through 3 caves ). The history of Hoa Lu temple was highly engaging too! really thankful for the memorable experience!

This tour was amazing! We had two fantastic guides, Tom and Po, and an excellent driver, Mr Vinn. they were all so helpful. Tom and Po we’re full of interesting facts and stories and we learned so much about the rich history of Vietnam as well as some more of the bits and pieces that make up contemporary life in Hanoi, the Incense Village and Ninh Binh. They struck the right balance of information and experiences. The lunch was also delicious - definitely try the goat 😁. And, to cap it all off, the boat tour was unbelievable! We had already done a cave tour in Ha Long Bay but this is something even more amazing than that - this whole tour is a must do!

This trip was like a private trip as it was only us on this trip. Our guide was very informative and generous in taking our photos. He gladly answered as well all my questions about Vietnam and its culture and traditions. He gladly shared also some recommendations.

Ninh Binh was really pretty. Trang An river was so tranquil and pictureque, but maybe a bit too long a ride 😅 the history of hoa lu (ancient capital) and the incense factory was interesting. Our guide Andrew is very friendly and knowledgeable. He even gave us some recommendations for food and places to visit in Hanoi and other parts of Ninh Binh 👍🏻

we had a great time with the day trip tour to Incense village, Hua Lu ancient capital of Vietnam, and 2-hour bamboo flat boat ride in Trang An gortto. Our tour guide Mr Tu (Kelvin) is very knowledgeable and speak English very fluently and our driver Mr T is a very safe driver and both of them provided the service beyond our expectation. The tour also provided delicious lunch that include local speciality to creat goat meat spring roll. It was a great experience and we thoroughly enjoy. Thank you, Tu (Kelvin) and Mr T.

I’ve booked a join-in tour, we got more than we bargained for and we got a private car for 2 people! Bruno/Brian was pretty great, he had excellent English skills and took effort to explain the history surrounding the place! 10/10. if you want to do the incense village as well as the trang an tour. go for this tour, you won’t go wrong. Trang an is pretty lovely imo :))

Amazing tour and service!! We booked it the day before and was worried that we can't get picked up outside old quarters. But about 3 hours after my booking, the guide manager messaged me to confirm pickup details. They also managed to pick me up directly from my hotel. Our Guide, Bruno, was friendly, knowledgeable and very enthusiastic in ensuring that all guests are well taken care of and have a good time. I recommend tourists to book this tour ☺️

Excellent tour, we really enjoyed everything! We were picked up on time from the meeting point; they contacted us the day before and explained where and when to be. Throughout the day, there were no problems or uncertainties—everything was clear and convenient. Special thanks to our guide, Justin. He spoke English well, coordinated the group perfectly, was always ready to help, and shared many interesting facts along the way. The most impressive moment was the boat ride in Trang An—it was simply incredible and became the highlight of the entire trip. The entire program was executed exactly as stated in the tour description. We also really liked that the group was small—only 9 people. This made the atmosphere more comfortable and pleasant. Thank you for a wonderfully organized day and a wealth of positive experiences!
