Lyn was absolutely great. Really informative and fun and did her best to avoid the busy areas which we really appreciated. The bus was super comfortable and pick up/ drop off from our hotel was great
Take down your tour operator number so if something goes wrong and your going to be late you can call her
Tony was the best guide I could hope for; his experience was key to sharing beautiful feelings. He showed us also beautiful, non-touristy sides of Vietnam.
Great everything, thanks to Tony especially, impeccable in everything; explanation, punctuality, accompanying, and sympathy, all positive... thanks to Tony... a special mention also to the comfortable bus, I slept better than in the hotel on the return after the excursion... Thanks Tony to the next; My friend...
Awesome. The boat ride was a little too long. And of course it does not look anywhere near what the picture show. That particular picture I think was taken in the fall just before harvest... But don't go to an agency. Book through your hotel with the where the price is less than 30 USD. It's a two and a half hour bus ride one way. The lunch in the middle of nowhere was a wonderful buffet. Well organized. English speaking guide who you couldn't understand... When you get to climb the mountain, when you get to the point to choose between left or right go left. All that is at the top of the right path is this symbolic Tower which is mei... Too dangerous for kids in my opinion... .
It was a wonderful experience. The tour guide Tony was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, which made our tour enjoyable.
On-time and Well-organized day trip to Nin Binh...special mention to Tony for keeping us thoroughly entertained throughout our journey!
The tour were wonderful with Mr. Tony being our guide explained everything in sweet manner and in understandable manner.
Da was an excellent tour guide. He provided information about every area we drove through. He explained what would be happening at each destination how long we would be there and what would happen next. The historical perspective he provided allowed us to imagine what it was like during that time. Overall, a great tour and would highly recommend this tour with Da.
Da was very kind and informative guide. we knew what to expect with each stop along the way. He prepared us with his verbal explanation and provided much history of the areas we went through. This was a family friendly fun trip. would highly recommend.
