Explore Hoa Lu, Trang An, Mua Cave, and rural Ninh Binh by bike and boat on this full-day Hanoi tour for $43 per person.

“I'm very torn on how to write this review... Our guide was great- good English, very energetic. Van was comfortable. Temple stop was nice, good information by our guide. I think we stayed too long though. Everyone was just standing around and we could have gotten on the road to the next stop. The cycling was only ok. Very old bikes and not really much to see on the route, especially when trying to dodge potholes. It was extremely hot but that is not the fault of the company. Lunch was not good. Not only was the food sub par but I also found something in one of the dishes…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 64 reviews · 4 hours · from $34

Cycle rural Hoi An, visit a market, ride a basket boat, work an organic farm, and cook lunch for $34.

“The whole day was packed full of different activities. This is definitely not just your average cooking class. The ONLY thing I would warn about is the bike ride through the city. I was completely fine, but there were kids below 12 in the class and they were very anxious riding through the parts of the city with all the traffic. We ended up stopping mid ride multiple times for them to be able to keep up which is totally understandable. But everyone we met at all the stops were so kind and the actual class itself was so fun and exciting! And of the food was top notch. It…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 13 reviews

Review of a 2-day Lan Ha Bay cruise with kayaking, biking, spring-roll cooking, tai chi, swimming, and an overnight cabin.

“We booked a 2-day/1-night cruise in Lan Ha Bay. Overall, the value for money isn't particularly great. The trip between the islands is quite pleasant, and our guide, Tony, was always in a good mood. Unfortunately, the room on the ship was beyond lousy. Cockroaches and engine fumes were everywhere. The food was quite tasty, although we did spot a cockroach there. A day trip is sufficient in our opinion. Have fun :)”
