The best tour, Luca was also a good tour guide. Recommended
I had an amazing Ninh Binh tour from Hanoi and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The pick-up and drop-off were smooth and on time, which made the day stress-free. Our tour guide, Thuan, was extremely polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. He explained the history and culture of each place in a very engaging way and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. The itinerary was well planned, allowing us to enjoy Mua Cave, Trang An, and Bai Dinh Pagoda without feeling rushed. Each location was beautiful and memorable. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam.
Mr son, we are new to Vietnam. He explained well without any irritation. If do late also, he said ok. Instructions, explanation is wonderful. Have a nice future son.
Mr. Alex was so amazing, we went to extended routes in the pagoda! He also made sure the trip was smooth and everyone was well cared for! Thank you so much, it was a stress free tour!
It was an amazing tour. Our tour guide Mr Thao was really kind and nice, funny and tried to make everyone comfortable. Well organised tour. Would recommend everyone to go out with them to have a lovely time.
This tour was great, we had a good time, minus the scorching Vietnam heat. We learned a lot about history of Vietnam through our very knowledgeable and professional tour guide Mr. Toan who clearly is doing and amazing job together with our bus driver Mr. Anh. Mr. Toan knows how to manage the crowd, very entertaining and has a sense of humor too which is a vital skill if you’re a tour guide talking to huge groups. Highly recommend this team!
