Incredibly organized and very friendly. The guide knew an answer to every question and otherwise seemed very confident. Beautiful places and different activities make this booking a “NoBrainer” and a “Must See”.

The great guide helped us with everything and they picked us up in the morning at the location that we had indicated. The food was open buffet. The tour includes a bottle of water and you can buy more at the different stops that are made.

Amazing trip, great tour guide Ivor went above and beyond explaining Vietnamese culture and nuances. The highlight being the boat ride on the river to see the Ninh Bin mountains. Spectacular scenery and smiles all around, a lovely 1 day break to do something completely different to Hanoi.

Tour was very nice. These are tourist areas so be prepared for lots of people. We arrived a little bit earlier to the first stop so wasn’t too bad. Tour company vehicle was very nice and our tour guide did a good job. The pace is a little quick but it’s alot of stuff and tour is about 11 hours from pick up to drop off.
