Good ture

Uros_W, Mar 2026
Son was very good guide. Told us some history of Ninh Bin and everything went smoothly. Some other turist lost his mobilephone and Son tried to help. You know you are not alone.

Enjoyable trip

My husband and I traveled for this tour. The activities including traveling time lasted for 12 hours. The tourist guide was very informative and helpful. It’s a very enjoyable trip. We had well informed the picked up time a day before and also followed through the activities. But don’t expect too much on the food.

very well

That was great. The bus was on time at the meeting point, we have been greeted by the guide Dang who is amazing, we have been given water. The perfect bus, the magnificent driver. They have taken us to all the places described on the tour, without hurry and with time to see everything and be able to enjoy each of these corners of Vietnam. The buffet of food very well, varied and rich. Drinks are paid for separately but cheap. Air conditioning all the way on the bus. Our perfect Dang guide, both in the explanations and in the treatment, always attentive to all the components of the tour. A wonderful day, thank you!!
