Beautiful Terrestrial Same king of scenery view as seen in Halong Bay! The serie of hills appear in land and not in sea... Eventhough to see them, little boats are used (but in lakes)

Enjoyed this tour a lot. Tam Coc is beautiful and a must see if you are in the Hanoi area. The sampan ride along the river lasts 90 minutes and the scenery is incredible. Saw some wildlife too such as 2 species of Kingfisher and a heron. You are expected to tip the person who rows you and even buy them something from the boat sellers half way - but this is OK as the rowers were working very hard on a very hot day! I thoroughly enjoyed the bike ride through the rice paddies too. The visit to the Hoa Lu temple is nice but this part did feel a little rushed. Lunch was OK - plenty of choice.

Beautiful Town Great tour of Tam Coc, gave you enough of an insight into this area of Vietnam, with the temple tour, sampan ride through the caves and then the quick bike tour around the town. Our guide was great.
