Incense Village and Ninh Binh Old Capital - My wife and I really enjoyed the tour, which featured good food, great attractions, and beautiful scenery. Our guide, Bruce Lee, was very kind, attentive, and provided us with a lot of information about the places we visited, as well as sharing a bit about the history of Vietnam.

5/5 great tour - My partner and I went on this trip a couple days ago and had a fantastic time! We were picked up from our hotel in a private SUV which was very nice! A/C and leather seats. Our tour guide Jason was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver was also very skillful and we made great time even in heavy traffic. The incense village we went to was a little off the beaten path and offered a great experience of what life is like in a traditional working town. The locals are friendly, and we are even able to make some of our own incense sticks in the family factory. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was very clean and inviting. They had a prepared menu featuring local cuisine, which was perfect for us. While we were only able to see one of the two temples at Ning Binh, we still have fun. I would have preferred to see the other as well. 5/5 would recommend to couples and families.

Nien is the best! - This was a highlight of my stay in Hanoi. It’s always great to get out of the city to see the countryside of Ninh Binh. Incense Village is beautiful for Photo Ops. Nien took amazing p pictures. He was so prepared from an umbrella to protect from the sun to a seat cushion for the boat ride. The driver was also nice and friendly. The car was clean and he was always waiting for us with a smile.
