Comfortable car. With only two tourists - Guide is Hung. He did his best to make traveller feel comfortable. The car was huge with only two travellers. He bought towels as it rains heavily during the boat trip. Lunch was included in the tour which I wasn’t expecting. Overall was good.

A fun-filled day at Ninh Bihn! - We were picked up on time in our hotel. Our tour guide Vung/Felix is the best. He made our trip extra fun with his sense of humor and good vibes all throughout. He made sure everything is taken cared of. Ninh Binh is beautiful and well worth the trip!!!

Fun adventure! Great guide! - Our guide, QA, was so accommodating, attentive and pleasant. We loved the boat trip and the hike. The scenery and caves on the boat trip were fabulous. Had fun racing the other boats too. Everyone was so friendly and fun. The meal was fabulous as well. QA was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Really appreciate all the photos he took for us and for his amazing fan. That hike with all the stairs was a hot one, but so worth it! Wonderful memories…

Extraordinary day in Ninh Binh - Pickup and drop off prompt, limousine van was clean, spacious, guide Felix / Vung was extraordinary, all the stops were done with much information, they go extra mile with no extra charge for umbrellas, ponchos, cushion seats, ice cold water, cold towels and overall it was the highlight of our Hanoi vacation.

Bruce Lee hosted us perfectly!!! - Bruce Lee and his driver Hi were fabulous!! We had a wonderful day from start to finish! The hike is quite exhausting! And the boat ride takes an hour and 45 min. Bruce Lee gives you a cushion which is a godsend! And an umbrella, raincoat, and much needed fan! Very well thought through!! Cycling through the countryside was a highlight! And tea at the farmhouse was interesting and peaceful!! Very relaxing and enjoyable lunch too! We didn’t have to think about anything!!! I highly recommend Bruce Lee- he was very thoughtful, knowledgeable and fun!
