Interesting, beautiful, accommodating, but a little bit expensive - I enjoyed the experience of the Incense Private tour. Since we were already in Ninh Binh, they managed to accommodate my friend and I with a customised tour. Our guide, Hoa, shared his knowledge wich us and it was super interesting. I loved the scenic landscape of Ha Long Bay on land. Although, I have to admit that I found the tour a little bit expensive. But the kindness of Hoa and the driver leaves us on a good experience.
