My husband, son and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was our first day in Vietnam and after 20 hours of flying, we looked forward to having someone else “in charge” for the day. Our young guide, An, was the exactly what we needed. He promptly was at our hotel at 7:30 and we were happy to find out it was just us on the tour, plus the van driver (who was EXCELLENT). It was about ninety minutes to our first stop where we purchased a few items from the locals and could use the restrooms and get a snack. From there we went to the Citadel where we walked through beautiful gardens and temples and then on to the Mua Caves which was breathtaking. We walked most of the way to the top but it was a little hard on the jet lagged body so we didn’t go all the way (our son and A did….). An gladly took photos of us along the way. From there we went to an absolutely fabulous lunch buffet. After lunch we were able to bike around the gorgeous village and feel like a local. Then came the boat rides at Tam Coc….so much fun. We felt like we were in an amusement park but this ride went for over an over. The hard working boat rowers are amazing. We loved it all and are thankful to An for being such a wonderful guide.
