Great tour and Guide, shame about some of the other tourists - This review is about our Tour Guide Da for this trip. Da was very knowledgeable and gave lots of interesting information during the tour. It was unfortunate for him that he had to deal with some very ignorant people on our tour. But he dealt with it well and never lost his focus on the rest of the tour group. Rest assured if Da is your guide, he will look after you well.

A pleasant trip to Ninh Binh - I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Da ( Duc Anh ) for making this trip truly memorable. His kindness and thoughtful gestures, along with the effort he put into explaining the history of each place, were deeply appreciated. His friendly nature made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the journey.
