Best tour organization and stunning place

Best organized tour I’ve been on in Vietnam. Nice variety of activities throughout the day, good food at lunch with a lot of options to choose from, comfortable bus with wifi and usb port to charge your phone. But most of all, Happy was the best guide I’ve met so far: knowledgeable, caring and fun to be around. Needless to say, the landscape and views were stunning (and not that similar to Ha Long bay as I had thought: if you’ve been to the bay and are wondering whether to visit Ninh Binh as well or not, go for it, you won’t regret it).

Wonderful and amazing experience with 1 day trip to Ninh Binh

I had an amazing time in my 1 day trip to Ninh Binh. I thought it might be hectic schedule but this 1 day trip was nicely organized - the sequence of the visits to spot was carefully designed so that tourist do not feel tired or any kind of inconvenience. Our tour guide named Mr. Happy was very nice, kind, smart and knowledgeable. He attended my intricate queries as well. His English was good. We felt very comfortable and got all enriching information about tourist spots. I would certainly recommend this 1 day trip.
