DayTrip to the Incense village ,Ninh Binh...

5.00Our guide "Bruce Lee" was excellent. Our pick up was perfect and we only had 1 other couple on the tour. Going to the incense factory was interesting and gave an opportunity for some great pictures thanks to Bruce's expertise. The high light was the boat trip in Ninh Binh. The boat captains or rowers are all amazing as they row with their feet with only 2 passengers per boat. The caves and cliffs were beautiful. Actually I enjoyed this more than the small boat trip in Ha Long Bay. Then on to the ancient Capital ruins and the history.Bruce Lee's knowledge of Viet Nam and love of his country made this a fantastic tour.
Fun day in northern Vietnam
