COST DOES NOT INCLUDE TICKETS FOR ALL 3 SCENERIES

3.00This tour is quite slow and not very thrilling to be franc. The sceneries were breathtaking, but it is not the most enjoyable when the temperatures are very high. The boat tour is very boring, you will just sit uncomfortably sit for 1:30h, among thousands of other tourist boats. But the most disappointing part is that NONE OF THE TICKETS ARE INCLUDED. The price you pay online only includes the bus and the lunch, you will need to pay an additional 420k pp to take part in the activities. Add tips and water purchases on top of that … Shout out to Ricky, our tour guide, for being very fun and instructive throughout the whole tour. His energy made our experience better !

5.00I had an amazing experience traveling to Nihn Bihn with Ricky; the day was so hot, but he made sure all the group was ok and had enough water, a great time in the temple, skipping the crowd; riding the bike around the village, boat trip, everything went smoothly! I would recommend it, with no doubt! Thanks Ricky, for showing us part of Vietnan with so much passion!
Awesome tour with Ricky!

5.00First time in Vietnam but Ricky quickly made us feel very comfortable. He has a great sense of humour and lots of knowledge on the tour sites. I wish we could have Ricky as our guide on every tour as he knows all the tricks and timings to help us beat the large crowds and other tour groups. Ricky if you see this thanks for giving us one of our best experiences in Vietnam so far.
