5.00A wonderful day out, exploring from incense village to Ninh Binh. My guide, Bruce Lee (Hoa), was very kind and friendly from the start, as well as being so informative about everything from the incense making process to the ancient history of Vietnam, and answered all my other questions along the way, too. He also took lots of photos for me, which is always difficult as a solo traveller! I was incredibly lucky to end up on a “private” tour as the only one booked that day, and it was very considerate for the tour to still go ahead as other companies might cancel or rebook you for another day. A great day to see beyond Hanoi with a perfect itinerary curated for you every step of the way.
Tour with Bruce Lee! What's not to love?!

5.00I ended up being the only participant on this tour and I am so thankful it was not canceled! From the moment Hoa (aka Bruce Lee) picked me up, I knew i was going to enjoy this tour. The driver was very safe and professional and transportation was comfortable! Bruce Lee was very knowledgeable and freely shared information about his country - it made this tour extra special! Not only did I learn a lot from him, he was an excellent photographer! I ended the tour with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Vietnam. I cannot recommend this tour and Hoa/Bruce Lee enough!
Definitely worth the trip!

5.00The tour took us to amazing places on the way to Ninh Binh valley. The incense farm was interesting. Never thought how intricate it is to make the sticks! The boat ride through the river was beautiful and the drivers row with their feet! The trip couldn’t have been as memorable without our tour guide Bruce Lee. He was knowledgeable, charming, and only wants you to have the best tour possible. I’d recommend asking for him by name, you won’t regret it.
Wonderful experience and amazing tour guide- Thanks Bruce Lee!!

5.00This was my favorite tour in all of Vietnam. Not only was the excursion itself amazing but our tour guide, Bruce Lee, made it all the more special. At every turn he was ensuring every detail of the trip was well thought out and went perfectly smooth. He shared interesting stories about Vietnam’s history and culture and made things fun the whole way. It’s impressive how much we were able to fit into one tour and never felt rushed. I highly recommend this tour and request Bruce Lee specifically - he is incredible!
Pleasant day
