Overall experience was great. Tour guide and driver took care of us well. Tam Coc river wasn’t like how I imagined because it is best view in May (so I’ll be back for that during May). Changed the cycling to mua cave instead which was a game changer. The steps maybe steep but the view worth every step.

The tour was great! One if the highlights of my trip to Vietnam. It was a super rainy day. The whole boat ride that lasted for 1,5h it was pouring rain. But for me it actually made the experience even more unique and fun. We also did the biking tour in rain. The buffet lunch had a lot if options and was very tasty. Only minus is that the tour guide didn't speak that good of an English. So pretty much the whole group had problem understanding what he was saying. Great value for the money!

Overall, the trip was great! We were picked up earlier than stipulated and the itinerary was very well planned. The guide was patient and looked out for everyone. The scenery was also beautiful and my family greatly enjoyed the sampan boat ride as well as cycling.
