★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,384 reviews · from $33Our pick

Travel from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Mua Cave with an English-speaking guide such as Sunny, Viet, or Linh. The day combines temples, a 1.5-hour bamboo boat ride, optional village cycling, buffet lunch, and a steep climb to Tam Coc views.

“This was probably one of the main highlights of our Hanoi trip. It was so nice to turn off our brain and let Sunny guide us through Ninh Binh. Sunny was an awesome tour guide and hilarious. He kept us entertained and we learned so much about the history of Hanoi through his hilarious pop culture references. Literally had another tour guide after this trip and I said “I miss Sunny!””

“Such a cool experience! Everything was well planned out! It was so much fun, the entire time I was thinking I can’t believe I’m riding an ATV through the jungle in Bali! The guides were super helpful and friendly making sure everyone stayed safe and would do regular check ins to make sure everyone stayed with the group. There was a point where my atv was acting up and stalled and they replaced it with another one on the trail immediately! Such an incredible experience. And after the tour they had a lunch buffet style, it was OK. I would have preferred more breakfast options. But another thing that I…”

“We were a bit reticent initially as we aren’t really bikers per se and we wanted to assure that we were not only safe, but that the tour would be physically in our wheelhouse (my wife and I are both 60 and in average shape and trying to keep up with our 22 year old daughter!!) To wit, the experience was superb! Our guide gave us a quick run down of the equipment, the e-bikes made the trip so much easier, we felt safe and supported, and we were able to access parts of the areas around the city of Rome that we just would not have seen otherwise.

“The tour was amazing ! Laura was an amazing tour guide both informational and relational. We got to see the amazing catacombs — road on the ancient Roman road — biked through an amazing park as we visited the aqueducts — had a very nice picnic — and road through a pretty small town. This tour is highly recommended by my husband and I ! The bikes were also great because you can use the motor easily if you need to which is helpful. With the electric bikes your ride can be as leisurely or strenuous as you want it to be.”

“This was really great and one of the highlights of my trip to Tulum. Our guide, Maca was wonderful and navigated the group's/excursion's English/Spanish/French needs beautifully. We had a nice small group and I appreciated that we never felt rushed. I also really appreciated the early start - everyone kept asking why there wasn't a crowd in my pictures at Gran Cenote. All of the cenotes (the last one was the most crowded, but makes sense as we got there around 11:30am) were not crowded and I really got to enjoy the nature and peaceful beauty without a mob of other tourists. I bike a lot (in NYC) so I…”
