It's a great tour! The staff both online and during the trip were really nice, spoke decent English and tried their best to make this trip a succes. The busride was not too long and there is a stop halfway so you can go to the bathroom or eat something. During the temple visit we were given the option to go by ourselfs or go with the guide, and she gave us a lot of information and was very clear about the times and places where we should gather. The lunch was nice with a lot of options and there was a swimmingpool we could use (I recommand bringing a swimsuit and a towel). We didn't go biking because it was very hot that day and everybody wanted to stay near the swimmingpool. The highlight of the tour was the boattrip in Trang An. The scenery is beautiful and very quiet. The boats will take you over lakes and through small caves which gives it a bit of a mysterious feeling. I highly recommand this tour. It's not too touristy and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery in peace.

I got picked up from the hostel 8am, but a lady messaged me that night and she said 8:30. So good thing i was ready. The tour guide Trung speaks good english and knowledgeable. Also friendly.. the bus ride was smooth but the chairs were small and uncomfortable.. we visited the temple, went cycling and went to trang an. The kong island was very nice. Lunch had lots of options, but they let you buy drinks. They only give you 2 small bottles. The weather was too hot and its not enough. Had to buy every time. Bottles at the bus stops are pricey so I suggest buying before hand or if you get parking lot to the boat ride at trang an. Wear sunscreen, hat or you can bring your umbrella too.

The bus was average and we were 15 people. From my hotel pick up until the drop off, everything was fine. We started by visiting the Bai Dihn Pagoda, after we had lunch in a country side restaurant and some of us went to ride a bike, others stayed at the restaurant area. There was a swimming pool which we could use if we were advised to bring a swimsuit, but we weren't. Towels were provided. After that we went to the lake Trang An to do the boat ride, which took around 1h30 and was the best part of the trip. I recommend to everyone who wants to have a view of the country side and escape from the craziness of the city for 1 day. Landscape is beautiful.
