Friendly English speaking tour guide. Airconditioned bus with good food choice at cafeteria style stop. Regular toilet stops. Mua Cave - best experience if you have enough fitness to climb up 400 stairs to top of mountain for spectacular view - or 200 stairs for midway. No rails. I am older but did it slowly with rests and it was OK. Pretty with places to sit below if you can't do steps. Boat ride enjoyable - be prepared to have local boat sellers ask you to buy something. Also for boat drivers to ask for a decent size tip from each passenger before you are dropped off. I did not do bike-ride option, instead had nice time walking in the village and having a 'coconut wine' in an outdoor bar. Very pleasant. This was a good trip to see a lot and do different things.

A Disaster

I can not comment on the quality o the your -vonly the operator. As our accommodation was down a narrow street that a bus would have difficulty reaching, we waited on the corner for our tour pick-up - from 0745 till 1015 No one came We no only did not we not have the chance to enjoy the tour, we wasted a whole day. Disgraceful

This is a great Hoa Lu Tam Coc Day tours. It's an easy bus ride from Hanoi and well worth the money. The guides take really great care of you and the sites we visited were very interesting. Hanoi can be seen in one day so take advantage of your stay to go on tours outside Hanoi.Highly recommended.

Wonderful services .Excellent one...

Wonderful services .Excellent one day Mekong delta trip!I booked this trip and was really pleased I had. Was with a small group of mixed nationalities and the tour from our wonderful tour guide Thao and the driver were excellent. The organization was brilliant and all the information that Thap gave us during the day was very informative. Really recommend the trip.
