5.00A fantastic journey with our amazing guide “Tom” and our driver “Jerry”. From the first meeting, we knew we would be taken care. We had high expectations for our custom tour and were not disappointed. Tom was very informative and shared personal stories, history and helped make the culture come alive for us. We appreciated his friendly nature with all the different staff and people we met along the way. It was clear that he is a respected guide in all of the markets, temples and locations we visited. Tom was always early, always smiling and always ready to answer our many questions. I have worked as a travel guide in Japan for more than twenty years and I can honestly say I learned a few new tricks of the trade. It should also be noted, Tom is an amazing photographer and knows all the great locations. I will 100% be recommending his services and the different tours that “Amazing Travel Corp” offers.
One thousand stars

5.00If we could rate this a thousand stars, we would. We combined the Mai Chau / Pu Luong tour with the Ninh Binh tour for a total of five days, and it was the easiest, most fun experience I’ve ever had on a travel tour. We were two couples (four friends) traveling together and had our own private limo, driver and guide for the tour. Special shout out to our guide Tom, who was super knowledgeable, funny, kind, generous with his time and translation skills, and the best photographer we could have hoped for - our phones are full of amazing shots that Tom posed us in that we would not have been able to get otherwise. Food was plentiful and delicious, accommodations were comfortable, and everything was taken care of from admission tickets to bike rentals. Looking forward to coming back to Vietnam just to book this tour company again.

5.00It was an amazing tour! I was very comfortable with the explanation of my guide Tom, the food organization and even the attention, and I really enjoyed the conversation with the jokes. If I want to join a tour of northern Vietnam, I would like to ask again. If you ask me which tour agency I would recommend the best!
