Review of a $43 Ninh Binh day trip from Hanoi with Hoa Lu temples, cycling, Trang An boat ride, Mua Cave hike, and buffet lunch.
“I'm very torn on how to write this review... Our guide was great- good English, very energetic. Van was comfortable. Temple stop was nice, good information by our guide. I think we stayed too long though. Everyone was just standing around and we could have gotten on the road to the next stop. The cycling was only ok. Very old bikes and not really much to see on the route, especially when trying to dodge potholes. It was extremely hot but that is not the fault of the company. Lunch was not good. Not only was the food sub par but I also found something in one of the dishes…”

Review the 2-day Mekong Delta tour from Ho Chi Minh City, with Cai Rang market, boat rides, temples, local food, and practical booking tips.

Cycle from Hoi An into quiet villages for rice cakes, crafts, boat building and rice wine on a relaxed 20-kilometer countryside tour.
“Our guide, Mike spoke excellent English. He explained everything before we set off, the roads, the equipment and what to expect. There were two guides one at the front and one at the rear of the group which meant no one gets left behind which is important particularly when do the section in the town. The stop off points were interesting and gave an insight into Vietnamese life. We would highly recommend.”
Cycle from Hoi An’s old town into Quang Nam villages for rice cakes, rice wine, local crafts, and an easy half-day ride.
“It’s pricey, and if you do your homework by exploring the map you could do a nice bike trip through the area much cheaper (25k per bike/day). But we liked it a lot and the guide stopped at places that are hard to find yourself, plus the bonus a boat trip across the river. Also good for kids (8y). So overall a great experience, and highly recommend.”
Cycle Hanoi’s busy streets, Long Bien Bridge, Train Street, and peaceful Banana Island with local guides, food, and history.
“Our bike tour was fantastic! Khoi made sure that we were safe at all times and gave us a complete tour of the city. Biking through the city is not for everybody. You should be very confident on the bike. It was an amazing way to see Hanoi!”
Cycle Hoi An’s rice fields, Tra Que gardens, shrimp farms, and coconut forest, with a basket boat ride and homemade Vietnamese lunch.
“Tai is an outstanding tour guide who brings absolutely passion and knowledge into the experience. We have cycled through the farm, veggies garden and had lunch at his family house. The homemade Vietnamese cuisine was amazing, healthy and clean. It was overall a truely great experience!”
Review of a private Mekong Delta day trip from Ho Chi Minh City with cycling, cooking, kayaking, lunch, temple visit, and river cruise.

I am very happy with my experience and I would like to say a very special thank you to Ronald who was a really good guy.”
