It was a long, but wonderful day. Most of the sites were very crowded but beautiful. Alex was a great tour guide and spoke English very well.
Different kinds of experience such as visiting pagoda, river boat trip and hiking can be enjoyed in a day. It was fun.
The 3 beautiful places, Binh Dim Pagoda, Trang An and Mua Cave are must visit places when you are in HANOÏ. Especially for Trang A boat trip, it really bring another experience of “Halong Bay” seen from a boat ride. This 1-day trip is excellent for an experience to a Vieitnamese countryside. The tour is worthwhile as they provide courteous and professional staff/driver to lead the tour. Meal included was also great with wide selections of food, even for vegetarian tourists.
The sights we saw were beautiful and well worth visiting. Our guide “Peter” did not have sufficient English to communicate effectively either group and appeared disinterested. Unfortunately the worst tour guide we experienced during our whole time in Vietnam
Great trip. Very beautiful. Full day. I was with my two sons. Guide was very good. We enjoyed it. I would recommend this trip
Bai Dinh Pagoda, or rather an entire complex of pagodas, dwarfs most religious sites I've seen in scope, opulence, and architectural exuberance, so you definitely wouldn't want to miss it. The boat trip in Trang An is a beautiful experience. A fascinating and pleasant tour.
My wife and I took our two small children on this trip today. January is a nice time to do this as the weather is cool for both the long walks through the pagoda complex and the two and a half hour boat ride. The tour states that pickup is from a hotel in the old quarter and they mean it: a tour guide came to our Sheraton outside the OQ at 7:15 am to put us in a cab to where the bus picked us up. - bus was clean and very nice (carries 15 passengers) - tour staff were courteous, professional and helpful - food at the restaurant was excellent - wc facilities were available often (though many charge a small amount - 2000 vnd) - the pagoda complex is beautiful as is the countryside - the kids ran around a lot and no one seemed to mind too much -others complained the boat ride was too long but we loved it (boaters don't speak English but it did not matter much) - it is a very long day and the schedule slips out - DO NOT SET PLANS FOR THE EVENING BEFORE 8PM- we were back in the OQ by 6:30 but some taking the 8:30 train were worried and pressed for time - great value and a very high quality trip - all walking was downhill which was nice lol
