Overview
The Perfume Pagoda is one of the highlights of the Hanoi region and one of the most important Buddhist pilgrimage sites in Vietnam. Every spring, following Vietnamese New Year (Tet), thousands of pilgrims visit the site to pray for health, happiness, and prosperity in the year ahead.
The main pagoda is located inside a vast cave nestled among limestone cliffs and is reached via a scenic boat trip, followed by a walk up steep mountain paths. Along the way, you can explore the pagodas and temples scattered throughout the area, some of which have stood for centuries.

It was was a nice day out. Our tour guide Quang was great. He was energetic and fun. He also played traditional Vietnamese music for us, added a surprise culture experience. The places visited are beautiful, activities are fun.

The tour was very well-run, on-time, and a lot of fun! They took us to one of the ancient imperial capitals, a river that runs through limestone mountains and rice paddies, and on a nice bike ride. Hannah was a great tour guide and everyone else on the trip was nice to meet!

My husband and I booked this tour on a private basis so that it would be just the two us in a car and not on a bus with lots of other people. We thought we'd be more comfortable this way and would be able to have adjustments made to the schedule if necessary. Our tour guide was really great. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and made the day interesting and fun. But he also understood and respected our limitations (we didn't want to climb the mountain or do the bike ride) so he came up with alternatives and was very patient and understanding. We had a great day. It was hot but our guide had water for us and the car was nice and comfortable. The boat ride on the river was the highlight, it was such good fun. Highly recommend this if you have time for a day trip. It was very good value for money, even as a private tour.

We went on the Hoa Tu-Tam Coc tour and it was really good. Very well organized and the guide Toan had great English. He made everything interesting with his stories. The food was better than expected with lots of choices. The only thing I didn't like was that there were lots of mosquitoes on the bus!

On the trip to the perfume pagoda you travel by boat to the base of the mountain. Then have a cable car ride to the summit. There are still plenty of steps to climb to reach the cave. Once inside the cave there are many stalagmites and stalactites to see. Plenty of places sell refreshments if you visit on a hot day. There are thousands of boats but we visited on a quiet day so they were nearly all moored up and empty. Some boats have shade but most don't so take an umbrella. I would advise the cable car ride as the walk up the mountain is not what you would expect
