5.00We had a fantastic day, it was action packed and made all the better by our amazing and very funny guide Sunny. We thoroughly enjoyed every activity and the transport provided was top notch, very comfortable and spacious. Cannot recommend this experience enough and if you can request Sunny as your guide, I would recommend you do! Thanks for a great day.

5.00Wow what a day! We highly recommend this tour. First all the bus was comfy, had air con, USB and USB-C charging, and our driver was so smiley and friendly. Our tour guide Sunny was absolutely hilarious, he made our trip really fun from the start, which helped everyone to relax. But he also taught us so much about Viet Nam and has inspired me to seek out further books to read AND for sure come back! The sign of an excellent tour guide. Each of the stops were so different and fun, and gave us a good little peak into another side of Viet Nam. The highlight for me was the hike at the end. It was really special to look back at the boats in Tam Coq and where we had just been. It’s well worth climbing both peaks if you can. Wear good shoes (not flip flops), bring cash, a sports towel, and a spare T-shirt because it can get very sweaty hiking! Definitely book this tour if you want to escape the city to see just how beautiful Viet Nam is, and how wonderfully kind the people are.
Fun day in Nihn Bihn

5.00I just had amazing adventures with the group of people I met on this trip, powered by the very very knowledgeable, nice and energetic man in the name of Sunny! The bus ride was very comfortable, perfect timings we had going to these wonderful places in Ninh Binh, thanks to our cool driver. They are very professional and on-time. Our lunch was also good, as prepared buffet by the same company. This is highly recommended.
An unforgettable experience

5.00Sunny was a fantastic, informative and very fun guide. The plan of the day was very clear, and we had ample time to enjoy and fully experience everything, we didn’t at any point feel rushed! Lunch was great with loads of options as well! My advice would be to prepare some small cash for tips (for the guide, driver, and boat driver) because they definitely deserve it !! 🇻🇳👍🏼☺️
