“Our guide Leo was a fantastic! His English was great and had a wonderful blend of information and humor. He was able to related to both the older members of the tour and young adults. He allowed each member to go at their own pace during the hike and carefully navigated us through the rural areas during the bike ride. Completely exhausted after all the activities, hike, boat, and bike ride but one of the best days! We feel lucky it was overcast during the steps otherwise I can see that segment brutal on a hot sunny humid day.”

Pickup, transport, bikes, lunch, and water are included. Sunny is one guide frequently praised for his humor and storytelling.

“We got really excited about this but it’s a long day and pretty touristy. We didn’t have a great guide unfortunately, I think that would have made a difference if we did (he didn’t really have a great grasp of English and wasn’t very informative). The highlights were the boat ride and the hike. If I was to do this again I’d pay a bit more and arrange a private transport.”

“We had a marvelous day despite the weather and some problematic travel. Ben was amazing, super energetic and engaging and very inclined to share more about the Vietnamese culture. You must go kayaking (even in the rain) as it was by far the most fun part of the day. Recommend to stay the night in Cat Ba the night before. We took an early morning car from Hanoi and the trip over and back were nightmarish. Luckily, the tour company was helpful and communicative throughout the process but my goodness, JUST STAY CLOSE BY.”
