Coisas para fazer em Tam Coc - Bich Dong

Sarah was very nice and speaks English very well too. We enjoyed this tour/adventure.

The pickup, drop-off, and itinerary were perfect. Enjoyed the ride at Trang An.

The tour was enjoyable. We visited very beautiful places and had a delicious lunch. The guide was with us the whole time, telling us about the places and creating a positive atmosphere. During the program, he offered us a choice for the next visiting spot, which we were very happy about. As a group of tourists, we collectively decided to swap one of the excursions with lunch, which turned out to be a very good decision. The tour was very diverse, including walking up steps, cycling, and a 2-hour boat trip with beautiful views. As for the downsides, the bus was not entirely comfortable, and seatbelts were missing in the last row. We also disliked the attitude of other tourists towards the time of people, tourists, the guide, and the driver. At the first location, we waited for several people for over 20 minutes on the bus, and at the second location, we waited for others for another 20 minutes.

It's absolutely beautiful, I love the scenery here.

The guide was fun and friendly. Ninh Binh was as great a trip as I expected. I highly recommend it for a day trip from Hanoi.

This is my second time going to Hoa Lu and Tam Coc. It took 2.5 hours by comfortable bus to arrive at Hoa Lu, then a 7-8 minute bike ride to the old capital. On my previous tour, there wasn't much explanation, but this time there was a lot of explanation and no free time. Asians can easily understand concepts like Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, but I wonder about Westerners? On the way back, we took a slight detour to the original spot. Lunch was a buffet, neither good nor bad, just an average taste. Afterwards, we moved to Tam Coc and took a Viet Cong boat for an hour. Then we got back on the bus and returned to Hanoi. There are some things that probably can't be improved, such as the occasional delay in pickup due to traffic, the somewhat poor maintenance of the bicycles, and the unappetizing food, but I think the content would be interesting for a first-timer. Tam Coc isn't really a place to visit twice. There's nothing to do on the boat. If it's your first time in Hanoi, I think it's better to go straight to Ha Long Bay, but Ha Long Bay isn't a place you'd visit many times either, so you can enjoy it for what it is.

I booked tickets for the first time very easily, saving time and not having to queue to buy tickets. Trang An was very crowded, so everyone should book online. It's a bit of a shame there was no discount code.

The place is beautiful. We also had no problems with transportation and activities, although the bikes we used were not in very good condition. Lunch was a feast with a good variety of food. Hieu/Lucas is also a very enthusiastic guide.
