What a Great excursion. Our guide (Hiu) picked us up at our hotel, grabbed a couple of other people and we were off. It started with a stop at the Mua stairway of stone. Beautiful views IF you can make it to the top. Great views if you only make it halfway. Then off to a paddle boat ride at Tam Coc. Absolutely stunning. You paddle up river (The rowers use their feet. Need to see it to believe) and back through rice paddies and through low hanging caves. Then a set lunch with local dishes. Very nice. And then lastly a trip through the fields and foliage (we chose to go by jeep) and a visit to a ceremonial cemetery. Visually amazing. And Hiu was great. Knowledgeable, personable, accommodating and enjoyable. A keeper. This excursion would be a shame to miss.
