This whole thing was incredibly confusing. I book a bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh as is stated in the Viator listing. I got dumped into a tour group and the "guide" then takes us to the first tour spot and tells us we need to walk/figure out our way there. Also it ended up costing way more than the $9 initially listed on Viator.

Had an absolute ball, Tony was very professional and knowledgeable. His humour was first class as well. He kept the tour moving and made sure all guests were included. Thee 500 steps was challenging but Tony encouraged all that tried to success. I would recommend this trip 100% Deluxe option is advised. Buffet meal was excellent.
