It's been a great experience! - It has been 12 days touring Vietnam from north to south and it has been a great experience. The treatment by both the organizers and the different guides who have accompanied us has been great, we have felt very well treated, guided and welcomed. We've had private guides in Spanish, just for the two of us. Vietnam is a fascinating country from north to south, in its culture, gastronomy, history, and especially recent history, spectacular mega-cities, nature reserves... It's been a great trip!

PERFECT TOUR TO MEET NINH BIHN - This day trip to Ninh Binh is 100% recommended. The communication with the staff and the payment we made before arriving in Vietnam was easy and quick which gave me a lot of security. Before the day of the visit they made a Whatsapp group to specify the pickup time and resolve any questions we had. And already the day of the visit was perfect and super taken advantage of. The guide was very friendly and pleasant and we visited a lot of sites. Ninh Well worth it, it is beautiful, and getting to know you with this tour is very easy and comfortable.

​🇻🇳 A Magical Experience in Ninh Binh with Ana - ​🇻🇳 A Magical Experience in Ninh Binh with Ana! 🛶 Absolutely awesome the Ninh Binh excursion! You've exceeded all my expectations. From the majestic limestone landscapes that look like something out of a movie to the tranquil boat rides (the "Ha Long Bay terrestrial" lives up to its name), everything was perfect. But what made the day truly unforgettable was our guide, Ana. His passion for Vietnamese history and culture is contagious. Not only did it give us detailed and fascinating information about each place, but it did so with an enthusiasm and joy that made the long journey feel short. Ana is very attentive, organized and has a wonderful sense of humor. You can tell he loves his job! If you have the opportunity to take a tour with her, do not hesitate. A 10/10 for Ninh Binh and a huge THANK YOU to Ana for a perfect day!

The best option to discover Ninh Binh - I did this tour with them, as I had already done a few more throughout my trip through Vietnam, and I really, as always, was a total success. We were only 3 people in the Tour, and Lanh, the guide who played us, was explaining a mnonton of curiosities and solving all our doubts. We were doing the boat ride and we were alone... which is pretty weird in that area. Then we did a bike ride and the scenery was spectacular. Finally we finish the day climbing the 500 steps and enjoying wonderful views.
