This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Vietnam. We travelled as a family of 3 and had a brilliant day. My 12 year old son said it was his favourite day of the holiday. Our guide Nora was excellent, super knowledgeable and very friendly. Highly recomended.
Nina was excellent, I was a solo traveller, only one on the tour, she gave me VIP service, thanks Nina see you next time
It was a great half day tour, our guide Nina was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Communication from the travel company could be improved though, no way to contact them directly, only a chat function that they reply sporadically.
