A must-do tour - We had a great day! The views were beautiful and the food was very good, but what really stood out was our guide, Nam. He was friendly, helpful, and shared interesting information about the area and Vietnamese history. It really added to the experience.

Ninh Binh Tour - Nice Experience, friendly guide, beautiful views! Many steps to walk for the mua cave, but the View is worth it. You get to meet a local and see how they produce rice wine and how they used to live/build houses 100 years ago

HANG MUA – TAM COC – HOA LU Tour - Company: Amazing Travel Corp
Tour Guide: Son
We had an incredible experience on the Hang Mua – Tam Coc – Hoa Lu day tour with Amazing Travel Corp. From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, comfortable, and full of unforgettable moments.
Bus Ride:
We were picked up directly from our hotel, and the bus was spacious and luxurious. It made the journey very comfortable, even in the heat.
Hang Mua:
The hike up the steps at Hang Mua was a challenge, especially in 35°C heat, and the stairs are quite steep—so make sure to wear proper footwear. But the effort is more than worth it. The panoramic views from the top are absolutely breathtaking.
Bike Ride in Tam Coc:
This was the highlight of the entire day. Cycling through the peaceful countryside, surrounded by towering mountains, was an unforgettable experience. We also had the opportunity to visit a local family, which gave us a special insight into everyday life in Vietnam.
Sampan Boat Ride:
The boat ride through Tam Coc was magical. Local rowers guided us gently along the river, through stunning karst landscapes and mysterious caves. The scenery felt like something out of a dream—endless mountain rocks.
Hoa Lu – The Ancient Capital:
A fascinating stop where we learned about the history of Vietnam and King Dinh. A great way to understand the cultural roots of the country.
Tour Guide – Son:
Our guide Son was outstanding. He was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable, sharing insights and stories that brought each site to life. We learned so much about Vietnam’s history, culture, and everyday life thanks to him. His love for his country was truly inspiring.
Overall:
Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore some of the most scenic and historically rich parts of Vietnam. Amazing Travel Corp delivered a well-paced, enriching experience, and Son was one of the best guides we’ve ever had!
