5.00Our guide Sunny was absolutely amazing! He made us feel very comfortable and taught us a lot about Vietnam. The way he explained everything was passionate, fun and easy to understand. We learned so much from him about Vietnamese culture, the meaning of different things and details that you can only learn from a local who loves his country. We also want to thank our driver Hoa, who was very kind and professional throughout the trip and arrived at time everywhere. 100% recommended 😄😄👍🏻👍🏻
Great day at Ninh Binh

5.00Overall great experience at a very reasonable price. Sunny was our tour guide and he was very engaging and funny - if you have a chance to travel with him, he’s awesome! The lunch buffet that comes with the experience was actually very good. There was a very wide selection of food and it was very high quality.

5.00The tour content and guide Sunny passed all our expectations. A vast amount of knowledge was shared by a young man truly in love with his country. Three activities in one day in this beautiful area made it a fantastic day.
