Very enjoyable sightseeing tour of some of the beauty of the Nih Binh regional. Great tour for those interest in natural and cultural aspects of the region. The tour guide, Will and our experienced driver made it a memorable tour. Thank you 😀
Be prepared for a long day and lots of walking. But well worth it. Plenty of rest stops to recoup. Maybe come in November whe it is not so hot.
Dear Alice, Thank you for making our Vietnam trip so unforgettable! Every detail was perfectly planned, and the places you included in our itinerary were absolutely breathtaking. Visiting Trang An was truly one of the highlights—cruising through the peaceful river, surrounded by those majestic limestone mountains and caves, felt like something out of a dream. And the 1-night cruise in Ha Long Bay was another unforgettable highlight. Waking up to those serene waters, surrounded by limestone karsts, felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything from the activities to the food on the boat was just perfect. I also really appreciate how smoothly everything was handled, especially all the pickups and drops from the airport to the hotel and back. Your coordination made everything so easy and stress-free. Thank you again for all your effort, patience, and care throughout the trip. This experience will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we’ll definitely reach out to you again for our next adventure!
