5.00We had a great trip, everything was perfectly organized and went very smoothly. Minh was an extremely well prepared guide and we were impressed how well he managed a group with both Vietnamese and English speaking visitors - he had to say everything in two different languages! We also appreciated very much your flexibility, as we booked the trip on a very short notice. The company was available ci WhatsApp for any questions and responded immediately. Thank you Daisy for your support and for your flexibility!
Beautiful tour of country side Vietnam.

4.00The tour itself is excellent. Its such a beautiful part of Vietnam. Rich in culture and a visual spectacular. Our guide was average. Limited information that was just repeated over and over again. We felt that the management of the tour was just a little to relaxed and casual. Still very much worth the time. Some great memories.
Amazing experience, great way to get out of the city.

5.00This tour involves two one and a half hour boat rides, and 3 pagodas, each better than the last. The perfume pagoda was like nothing I’d seen before, absolutely magical. Our tour guide, Minh, was wonderful, charismatic and a great storyteller. Gave more history lessons than any other guide I’ve had, you could tell he was truly passionate about it. My only complaint is, though delicious, the lunch provided made me sick, not necessarily the fault of the tour operator as much as the restaurant, but be cautious of that. Even so, would recommend to anyone visiting Hanoi.
