Great day trip! - My husband and I had a great time on this day tour. Pick up was punctual and our guide Sunny was making the long bus ride enjoyable by telling us about his country, its culture and history. He was very funny too. We visited a beautiful temple, rode bicycles through an old village, had a huge lunch buffet provided, then a boat ride finished off by a mountain hike after a sudden rain and thunderstorm cleared. Sunny was always looking out for everyone’s safety and making sure we were enjoying our time on the trip. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

A day in Nimh binh - We were picked up 2 minutes from our hotel. Sunny, our guide personally escorted us across the street. The bus was brand new and very comfortable.Plenty of cold water bottles provided during the tour. Sunny was very informative with many interesting facts from Vietnams history. Although it stormed during the tour we were able to complete all of the schefuled activities and get back to Hanoi in a reasonable amount of time. My family and I really enjoyed our day. Sunny was an exemplary host/guide.

Incredible trip—Sonny was incredible guide - Sonny was an excellent guide. The boat ride through the mountains were absolutely gorgeous. Straight out of Avatar. Breathtaking. It then started to torrentially rain, damn near flooding the streets, and Sonny did an amazing job keeping everybody safe. Would recommend to anyone.

Most amazing last-minute daytrip - Where can I start. I booked this trip the night before just before 12 AM as most of the tour operators had closed their reservations. I was therefore surprises when I got contacted the next morning at 06:00 to arrange the pickup which was right next to my hotel (honestly I had already given up on visiting Ninh bin) as my flight is tomorrow. I then had the pleasure to meet Sunny our tour guide at the exact location, exactly on time. We then had the most amazing day thanks to Sunny. He was funny, smart and charming, just an amazing ambassador for Vietnam in general. Along the way he learned us so much of the culture and history of both Hanoi and Vietnam in general. What I also appreciated was his honesty and transparancy. I would therefore strongly recommend!

Best tour guide & Great views! - Sunny was the best in guiding us through each stop and providing foundational knowledge of each location! Bonus points for being funny! Our group was roughly 22 people and the whole tour with the drive was about 11 hours. Overall each spot was absolutely beautiful and I will be coming back with family in the future!
