Hanoi Day trips

During the travel time, our guide spoke to us in English, and we even had time to shop at a store during a restroom break! There was a staff member who spoke excellent Japanese and introduced us to various products! At the beginning, in the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, we enjoyed cycling to our destination! The boat ride in Trang An lasted over an hour and was very satisfying! Finally, at Mua Cave, the steps were very steep and challenging to climb, but the view from the top was absolutely spectacular! Our guide was also wonderful, and this tour was definitely the right choice!✨

I really had no idea what to expect when I booked this excursion. The trip was very well described on the website but even with that, one doesn’t really fully understand how it will all run. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with our driver, our amazing tour guide (called “T”) and the smooth operations of the trip. And that’s not even going into the magic we saw along the way. T was skilled in sharing the history and stories of all the sights we saw. It was a full day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We had a mixture of ages in our group and T made sure all of us were tended to.

I never imagined that my first trip to Ninh Binh, would be this splendid. Although we had a little rain along the way, it never took away the beauty that lie within. From the ancient city of Hoa Lu, peacefully cruising the breathaking view of Trang An, to trekking the majestic twin mountains of Mua Cave offered something truly special. It was a little tiring, but the spectacular views made every step truly worth it. What made the trip even more enjoyable were the laughs, stories, and good vibes throughout the journey. A huge thanks to our wonderful handsome guide, Mr. Will, for his humor, assistance, and making the entire experience feel easy and comfortable. And of course, our appreciation to our bus driver for keeping us safe throughout the trip. I highly recommend this adventure, especially with such a fantastic team behind it. Surreal Views, Unforgettable Moments, and wonderful people behind it made this first visit truly special. Ill definitely will be back for more 🇻🇳🌄♥️👌

Was able to experience their culture as to how to making insence and hats in a traditional way. An eye opener for me how important it is to preserve our culture. The tour guide is really nice and accommodating. Her purpose in promoting the local tradition/culture is really commendable.

I enjoyed the trip. We are lucky to have a good weather, it’s hot though. I suggest to bring extra clothes if you are planning to do all the activities. Overall, I like the itinerary because it provides us enough time to appreciate each location and activity. Also, going up the Mua Cave is the perfect way to end the trip. Luca, our guide, is very good. He is entertaining and provides good information about the location. I am able to sleep on the bus thanks to our driver’s smooth driving. Overall, this is a very good trip and I enjoyed it a lot.

Really great experience with this tour group - Ninh binh has amazing scenery - I will definitely recommend this to my friends and family. Celine and Sarah were amazing at communication and ensuring we had the best service for this day trip.

I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide, Ms. Ya, is from the Black Hmong community herself, so she shared a lot about the history, culture, traditions, and daily life of the Black Hmong people. She was very friendly, enthusiastic, and always happy to answer our questions. It was especially meaningful to learn about the local culture directly from someone who grew up in the community, rather than just sightseeing. The scenery around Muong Hoa Valley and the villages was beautiful, and the foot spa and scenic café at the end were a nice way to relax. Overall, it was a relaxing and interesting experience. Thank you, Ms. Ya, for sharing your culture and stories with us. Highly recommended! 😊

Today I joined Pietro Khoi for a half day tour. He is a young vibrant, energetic and knowledgeable tour guide. In addition he is very skillful in photography. It is an asset for Klook to have Pietro. Firstly, he brought us to the southern section of the Train Station to see the 8am train. We drank some coffee. After that we went to The Incense factory some 1 hour of journey. The van was comfortable and spacious. It is clean too. The weather was hot and good for out door activities today. Thank you Pietro Khoi for helping us today - bringing us around and took good photographs!

This activity is well worth exploring. It started promptly, and the drive was about two hours, with a stop halfway for restrooms and food. I recommend eating breakfast before departing. The first stop was Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where we had about 50 minutes. Remember to bring a fan and an umbrella, as it can suddenly rain heavily in Vietnam! The second stop was for lunch, which was a buffet. The food was decent; don't expect too much, it's just a buffet to fill your stomach. After lunch, our guide took us cycling. If you prefer not to cycle, you can relax at the restaurant. After lunch, we went for a boat ride. There are two locations, Trang An and Tam Coc, and we were assigned to Tam Coc. The entire experience was enjoyable. Remember to bring an umbrella. During the ride, they will try to sell you handmade paintings, but we politely declined. After getting off the boat, the boatman will ask for a tip. The third stop was Mua Caves for hiking. Since the stairs were quite wet after the rain, and we were too tired, we decided not to climb for safety reasons. We sat at the restaurant below and took some photos. I must commend our guide, Ryan; his explanations were humorous, very clear (10/10), and helpful!
