Explore the Perfume Pagoda, a complex of Buddhist temples and shrines built into the Huong Tich mountains, on this guided group tour in Hanoi. Known for its scenic landscape and sacredness to the Vietnamese people, the pagoda draws believers and tourists wishing for good luck from the cave’s stalagmites and stalactites. You can climb the steps to the Huong Tich Cave or opt to ride the cable car.

beware to experience a culture shock: visit the Perfume Pagoda as you would be a Vietnamese Pilgrim Tour Guide shows you how to pray at every temple.
Around Lunar New Year very crowded, tour is a little bit rushed (breaks too long, time at sights too short). Interesting, but if you want to enjoy a more historic and artsy approach, tour not recommended, but go privately.

Our guide Minh was amazing, he was very knowledgeable because he is from the area and passionate about the history.
We felt very looked after and enjoyed the lunch.
The coach has air conditioning which is great as it starts a couple of hours out of Hanoi, the boat journey can be uncomfortable as it’s one hour long and with the heat, there’s not much room for manoeuvre but the ladies that paddle the boats are great and if you can do the cable cars I would suggest doing so as the views are fantastic

Everything Was well organized by V.I.T travel as they are the best in Hanoi. The staffs were very informative about the trip. Will definitely book tours from them on my next trip.

Good to get out of busy Hanoi for a bit of nature and culture. Talking with people on the tour fun as well. Probably best to avoid weekends during the 3 month festival season in winter.

Enjoyable day away from the hectic city. Our guide Cong spoke English well and gave some interesting information on the journey. The group opted for the cable car option both ways, although there were still plenty of steps to and from the pagodas. There were some slippery areas and steps within the cave, so wear appropriate shoes. Lunch was served family style and included a number of local dishes that were pretty tasty. The sampon ride to and from the area was long and the metal seating was very uncomfortable. It was an interesting experience, but would have been better with a motor boat imo. Time spent on and around the pagodas totaled about 1.5 hours, which I thought was short, but we were easily able to see both. Overall it was an nice day.

The trip was nice. Long car ride, pleasant boat ride, lots of walking and hiking. We had 2 stops, at one temple, and then at the cave. I'm not sure what's standard, but I was expecting more time to wander and explore those 2 specific places. We had 30 minutes in the temple, and a little less in the cave. It was beautiful, and I needed the day off so I appreciated the entire journey. We did keep a leisurely pace overall though, which was nice. The tour guide seems to dislike English teachers, so, if that's you then I would lie and say you're on holiday just to be safe. It was my birthday and my first day off in ages and I wasn't interested in hearing his opinions.

The trip to the Perfume Pagoda was really incredible. The views are incredible. And to make it even better, the instructor was very knowledgable and funny, which made the trip worth a 5 star review in my opinion.

This tour agency offers a personalised service and they were really helpful when we had problems with a different tour company. The tour itself was excellent and I'd really recommend it.
