The tour guide Bruce Lee was friendly and very knowledgeable he told us lots of very interesting things about the region and the locations we visited. He was so very helpful and did whatever he could to make sure we had a fantastic day. The driver was very safe and the bus was extremely comfortable. The food for lunch was amazing and we were given so much to chose from. The Inscence village was great we enjoyed seeing how it was made and got some Lovely photos, ,the Temple was very beautiful and the story of its history was interesting, the highlight for us was being rowed down the river through the gorgeous mountain scenery and through the caves. I highly recommend this tour especially for those who are after a more relaxing tour of the Ninh Binh area.
