really impressive

it was a fantastic tour. our guide is very gentle and kind and told us a lot of Vietnam history and culture. having a private tour was great because it was flexible to us. I loved the bamboo boat ride through the river...it was very relaxing. lunch was prepared for us directly after the boat so we got to sample a lot of different local delicacy. the guide helped us walk up and down the stone steps in the mountain....great views from the top. really impressed by our guide as a person and as a professional

breathtaking views, good food and caring guide

I had a great time. I was jet lagged and exhausted so it was great to have a private car just for my mother and I. the tour guide, Hai, is very kind and chatty and told us lots of info about Vietnam in general and about Ninh Binh as well. the Tam Coc river boat tour is very calm and serene. the views were gorgeous. it was really special to have lunch prepared for you and try the local cuisine. the views from Hang mua are well worth the steep climb up! Hai helped me down thankfully 😅 Hai is also very knowledgeable about the ancient capital Hoa lu and the temples are beautiful and very well kept. overall we had an amazing day

An Unforgettable Cave and Temple Adventure with The

I can only recommend this tour! We went with The, who took us through the caves by boat — and we were really lucky that there was a light drizzle, which kept the humidity from getting too high. Afterwards, we visited a local restaurant where the food was excellent. Throughout the day, The explained so much to us — especially about the origins of Buddhism and the deities represented by each statue. But let me give you a heads-up: don’t underestimate this tour. You’ll be climbing a lot of stairs, and in high humidity, it can be exhausting. At first, we wanted to take on the roughly 500 steps to the summit for a panoramic view of the temple complex, but luckily The suggested an alternative: about 150 steps leading to a temple inside the mountain — and it truly took our breath away. It was a wonderful trip, and I can recommend it without hesitation. Thanks again for the fantastic organization!

Robert and the driver were very attentive and caring. We would definitely recommend them to our family and friends.

Great tour. It was well coordinated. Our tour was cancelled last minute and the company offered to go to another place instead. It was worth it!

Another must do tour from Hanoi

This is an excellent tour company which is why I must write this review, despite our problem. Our Ninh Binh,tour was marred by extreme traffic as we booked it for 30 April, not knowing it was reunification day in Vietnam. This is the one thing I wish our tour operator had warned us, as all of Hanoi was on the road that day 🤣 But Love Vietnam Travel is a wonderful company. Kevin the tour coordinator had many texts with me so I could pick the best tour. Once we finally arrived at Tam Coc all was smooth and impressive. They apologized for the traffic and added complimentary details to make up for it. This makes them a most reputable company. We especially loved the kings temples in the ancient city. So beautiful and peaceful. Louis our tour guide was funny, knowledgeable, accommodating. The special vegetarian lunch was amazing and delicious at a beautiful restaurant.

Great day with Windy at Halong Bay

Windy blew us away :) Highly recommend! We booked through Viator and Wendy was our tour guide. He was on time meeting us at the hotel in time for our departure. Windy was very funny, professional, kind and offered good advice and knowledge about the area. It tool exactly 2 hours to get there and 2 hours back with bathroom breaks. Despite gray skies and raindrops at times, we had a wonderful time. Thank you again Windy for your hospitality.

Operator response

Dear gavz2015, Your message exudes warmth and gratitude towards Windy for making your Halong Bay trip memorable. It's wonderful to hear about the positive experience you had with Wendy as your tour guide. Windy's professionalism, humor, and knowledge truly enhanced your journey despite the weather challenges. Your recommendation speaks volumes about the quality of service you received. It's heartwarming to see such appreciation shared. Thank you for spreading positivity and acknowledging Windy's hospitality. Best regards, Kevin - Tour Manager from Love Vietnam Travel
