Transferts privés Journée complète Hanoï - Parc national de Ba Vi - Hanoï

Drive to BaMi National park. We hoped to hike to ruins, the trails not maintained so much tree fall and rockfall. Probably from heavy rainstorms. Very difficult to climb under and over, very sketchy in places. I do not think we would do the trail again. The steps to the temple s are well maintained.

Foggy day means you won't see much. There is no English labeling at the site so that made finding trails a bit challenging.

I really wanted to go on some hikes during a trip to Hanoi and so glad I chose Ba Vi and got a driver. He didn't speak English but we managed to communicate through Google translate. He arrived at our hotel about 10 min early then had the front desk notify us he was there. The park itself would have been difficult to navigate without him (everything in Vietnamese, there didn't seem to be maps available, it's in the mountains so phone signal often cut out except at the very top). He took us to the main parking lot connecting to the 2 main trails and waited ~3 hrs in the car while we did both (there are a LOT of stairs, we're both very fit and still had to take a few breaks) then got some tea at the cafe by the lookout. I think I've never seen a place so foggy, so you could not see very far (I think the views would be incredible on a clear day) but it was cool to feel like you're on an island in the sky, and the temples are very cool. There were a couple people there to give offerings so we got to respectfully observe that as well.

Driver picked us up on time at 7am and waited for us in Ba Vi until 5pm. Communication was rather challenging and there were times when I had to contact the main operator directly when the driver was unreachable. It didn't seem like the driver knew much about the place, and obviously we didn't know any better, and so we were dropped off in an area that was kilometers away from the place where one would typically start their walk up to the common points of interest. We lost time and energy walking the extra kilometers of pavement and ended up not reaching the Bao Thien Tower. A more knowledgeable and engaging driver could have contributed to a better experience.

Great day out, very foggy going up the hill. Our driver navigated through the road works pretty good on the way. Walked up the stairway to the temple, 1000s of steps but we made it. People were very friendly,

Taking a bus to a taxi to the beginning of the park is written up in the guides as a good option. Don’t believe it. Hire a driver. It is a long, windy road from the ticket office up to the main area, which has two temples, both big climbs up. Our driver was willing to go off on a side road so we could see the ruins of an old French church. He was happy to drop us off at different points when we returned to the city. Worth it!

Firstly driver was half hour late and parked a few street away so our hotel made contact with driver and walked us to car. Car was ok but not luxury, driver spoke no English and did not really know where we wanted to go. Don’t think he had ever been to Ba Vi so we didn’t find the walking trails and just walked on the main road for a few hours. Driver seemed pleasant but his phone didn’t stop ringing, twice or 3 times he asked for some time to do some business on his phone and have his car washed. Quite funny really but the day was not what we expected. Perhaps because it was lunar New Years Eve.? Ba Vi NP was deserted, although hotels etc nothing was open for coffee. Perhaps before you book this trip do more research than we did!,

Very polite and calm driver. Very punctual as well. Car is comfortable and clean. Overall very pleasant experience. Can recommend.

The driver is the best. The car is perfect. Everything is high quality. I can recomend their service to everyone

I had a great service; timely pickup. It is very easy to book and driver was very friendly and safe. During our trekking in the park, driver waited for us and picked us up again for return. I would use this service again.
