What people are saying about Hanoi
Overall rating
Our tour guide was Louisa, she was very articulate and very funny. We enjoyed spending time with her. The trip was well comunicated and very well organised, we had plenty of time to see everything. I can't say that anything needed improving and would definitely recommend this activity for anyone wanting an insight into local crafts.
We had a great day. We did everything that was on the itinerary and had a good time in every stop. The buffet lunch after the bike ride was delicious and a lot, we loved it. The weather today was perfect for the Trang An boat ride, amazing views!
Stuart was a very good guide and the driver also guided us well through the traffic and the bus was very comfortable. Lunch was also good for buffet food. The bike and boat tour lasted the perfect amount of time. Overall, highly recommended
Very much worth it - the boat trip through caves a special highlight. Our guide Hank was wonderful and gave great insights
Activity was such a great day. Value for money 10/10 would recommend !
