Overall, we had a really pleasant trip to tam coc and hoa lu.
Our guide, Kien, was knowledgeable, and friendly. He even sang a little Russian song at the end, which was fun! We also felt really safe thanks to the driver (he was driving extremely well in the chaotic traffic of Hanoi).
The trip started with a two hours bus ride to tam coc (with a stop half way to buy a drink if you want). During the bus trip, our guide explained us many things about Vietnam, and it was really interesting.
We then visited tam coc for an hour and saw two pagodas. It was great to be able to see an ancient capital.
After a good buffet, we went on a small boat for a 90 min row down the river to the caves. The landscapes along the way were breathtaking.
Finally, the bicycle ride was good fun
The only downside was the persistence of the rowers to sell drinks, snacks or bags... And it kind of spoilt the boat ride.
But overall, cám ón, ou comme on dit en France, Merci beaucoup to ''Go asia''!
