5.00This was a great trip! Our guide, Ricky, was fantastic and shared a little bit about each spot, answered all our questions, and made sure we were all taken care of and got back to the bus. This was a long day but definitely a worth while excursion (not to mention the bus was very comfortable and air conditioned 😅)
Great experience! Would recommend!

5.00Such a fun trip with our tour guide Ricky!!! He was super funny and nice, and had very interesting info on Vietnam and the places we visited. 1. Admission fees were around 400,000 VND per person which we paid on the bus. 2. Day started at 7 am and ended at 7 pm back in Hanoi! 3. The last stop was awesome but do THE LILY FIELD FIRST, then climb the stairs- I got so sweaty 😭
Amazing experience- must do!
