5.00Johnny Pham and Mr. Hung are superb. They picked us up from our hotel and drove us directly to Ninh Binh, stopping at all the great sites along the way. They were flexible, helpful, and very courteous. Johnny handles the translation and tours while Mr. Hung navigates the car. Highly recommend them for all day trips out of Hanoi. 10/10.
Highly recommend Johnny!

5.00Johnny is a very enthusiastic guide who took care of us for our day trip to the incense village, conical hat village and the train street. He is not only informative but takes effort to explain the life of locals as we pass rice fields, duck farms etc
A great day out in Ninh Binh

5.00I went on a private tour with my 74 year old mother to Ninh Binh. Our guide and driver (both Truong) were great. The weather wasn't in our favour on the day with scattered storms through the day but they still managed to co-ordinate the visit to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc and Mua Caves so we wouldn't get stuck navigating the larger crowds.
VISIT TO Hanoi with Johnny Pham. Great, from 8:30 AM to 5 PM.
