Amazing experience. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a great day. Private car to and from Hanoi was very comfortable, we didn’t queue for anything all day as our tickets were already paid for. Lunch was huge with lots of variety. Highlight was Trang An, a must see when you visit Hanoi!

Excellent Local Private tour

Our guide Danny and the driver were most accommodating. As it was a private tour, the tour particularly the Bai Dinh area felt personalized, we went to the old cave temple which we understood mostly locals go to. We opted for the two hours Trang Anh boat ride which turned out to be three hours - however it didn’t feel like three as we were enjoying the beautiful scenery and caves. At one point there was live Vietnamese music played in the middle of the lake.
