Day Trip at Ninh Binh - We had a tour today at Ninh binh and our tour guide was Viet. He was very cheerful, patient and accommodating to us. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Ninh Binh. We had fun biking and the boat ride had breathtaking views. The only thing we didn't like is that the buffet lunch was pretty chaotic. It was disorganized and some tourists were grabbing food with their bare hands. Some tourists are rowdy and they don't come on time causing the tour to be late for everyone. But the tour itself was good. The tour guide and the bus drivers were super nice and friendly. Would recommend!

Ninh Binh fun tour 🫶🏻 - This is my 2nd time in Hanoi, I did this last year too. I love the tour, fun and chill. The tour guide Viet did well, very informative about Vietnam history and he is funny as well. What I just don’t like about is the other tourists we’re with on the bus, they’re always late and loud. 😢

An Unforgettable Ninh Binh Experience Thanks to Viet! - We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the Ninh Binh day tour, and a big part of that was thanks to our guide, Viet. He is truly an adorable person—warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the journey. From the very beginning, Viet made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. He went above and beyond to ensure we understood the historical significance of each place we visited, explaining everything in a clear and engaging way. What really stood out was his personality—super quirky and full of humor! He kept the entire group entertained on the bus, making the long travel time feel short and enjoyable. Overall, Viet made the trip memorable not just with his knowledge, but with his energy and kindness. Highly recommend touring with him!
