Aula de culinária em Hoi An

The trip to Perfume Pagoda was very good value for money, covered all the main areas around the locality with excellent knowledge and information provided by the tour guide... Nice river ride for approx. 1 hour followed by the cable car up the mountain to view the cave pagodas.
The one negative aspect was the lunch provided and the fact that if you walk up or down rather than use the cable cars, you get inundated with constant cheap and tacky stalls crammed all the way to the top. Don't be fooled by the thought of wonderful views by walking it!! . Use the cable cars or you may regret what you see. .On the return down the mountain by cable car , you have more time to enjoy the areas on the lower sectors .

My best tour in Hanoi
Very nice and unique locations
The tour schedule was properly organized in order to have enough time in all attractions
Our guide was polite fun and provided us with useful information
I would recommend this tour

I enjoyed the tour and learned a tremendous amount from my guide. The booking details need to be updated as the puppet show times are in the afternoon so therefore cannot be included in the morning tour and in addition the electric car tour was not included.

Great tour . Many steps to the temples but well worth it. I particularly enjoyed the boat ride down the Perfume River,

Very professional, friendly, and courteous staff. Definitely recommend!

I think another reviewer said that they do not adequately describe the amount of activity this tour has and they where correct! We also had the issue that another review had in that the Viator description says two way cable car ride and we where only booked for a one way return and had to pay for the way up which you definitely want otherwise you have to hike for about 45 minutes
You get picked up from your hotel and take a 1 hour and 45 minutes car ride
then you get on a metal row boat that fits 6 and spend 1 hr going up river
then you get off and walk about a half mile up hill and stairs
visit the pagoda for about 40 mins
eat lunch
walk about 1/4 mile uphill and stairs to get to the cable car or hike up hill and stairs for 45 minutes to the cave entrance
if you take the cable car you get off and walk about another 1/4 mile uphill and stairs to the cave entrance
to get to the cave walk down 120 stairs, walk around the cave and then got back up said 120 stairs
walk back to the cable car and ride down or hike back down to the boats
take boat back 1 hr downstream
1hr 45 minute ride back to Hanoi
The activity would have not been so bad if it wasn't so hot. So it could be dangerous for some people with health issues or unsteady legs. There is a lot of walking uphill and lots of stairs. Boats where not the great either. Our tour guide instructed us that we had to tip the boat driver once we where done. The tour guide was ok, more of a facilitator than tour guide as he didn't give us much background on the pagoda. He just kinda lead us around and left us to our own devices as he socialized with the locals. Overall not a great experience and not a must see

Long was the name of our guide. He was friendly, accommodating and had a very strong command of the english language. I also like the fact that we were only 12 in the mini bus. That made the tour more engaging. I definitely recommend Long and his company.

Do not book this tour if you are going by the description as it is wrong. We specifically booked this tour as we would be able to spend more time on the water and there was no bicycling component. When we showed up, we were told that we would be on the water for an hour and a half and then bicycle for the remainder of the time. Several people chose to sit out of it, but then we would have paid to just be sitting around so we hopped on the bikes that felt like they were going to break at any moment. Description needs to be updated, but would save money for another tour to Ninh Binh.

Amazing, customer service, food, views, cooking class, excursions, morning tai chi. Awesome adventure. On board coffee was delicious.

This tour was quite a disaster. We did not get an English speaking guide we got an admin person from the office, we were raced through beautiful Vietnamese countryside with no explanation about it or an opportunity to take photos and we had to pay the local tour operator additional money for a cable car ticket as their understanding of 'return trip' was different from Viators. More importantly there was no indication in the tour description on Viator regarding the degree of walking difficulty on this tour. This tour is NOT suitable for anyone with even basic mobility problems. My wife and I are both reasonably active and are regular walkers but we both fell on the treacherous underfoot conditions on the steps down to and around the pagoda.

I contacted Viator customer services and did get a refund of the additional money I paid locally but no compensation for not getting an English speaking guide or the tour as described.

Well organised tour, spending just the right amount of time in each place, tour guide was informative and welcoming :
