Disappointed

Transport was efficient what was disappointing was our bus had 3 tours going on which was a little frustrating. The sites we visited was good. Description said water on bus, please note they only give you one bottle at start of day. Lunch was a massive "sizzler" style food hall, which wasn't very nice.

We were caught in a bad weather on our trip to Tam Coc. Socked wet! However the boat trip is still on and we were taken out during the downpour. Cant see much of the Majestic Tam Coc due to the weather. In general the trip is worth going with reasonable price and simple food.

choose this one (if you have to choose between this and Halong Bay)

if you have to choose between this and Halong Bay, choose this one. the experience is more profound and intimate. it feels surreal to see the outcroppings as you float along the river. the biking experience around town was also a good experience to cap the whole trip. highly recommended.

Very Disappointing Experience
Christine_A
, Jan 2019
This tour involved a 2 1/2 hour bus trip in each direction which was fine except that the bus was cramped and uncomfortable and completely unsuitable. Too much time was wasted on a "bathroom break" at a souvenir outlet and at lunch. The bicycle ride in Tam Coc involved the use of old, rusty bikes with ill fitting seats. No bike helmets were provided. My husband and I elected not to participate in the bicycle ride as a result. The only redeeming feature of the tour was the boat ride which was very picturesque. Was it worth the 5 hour journey in cramped conditions? We think not.
