Highly professional tour with lovely tour guide “Bruce Lee” - Highly professional company for tours, 100% reliable and on time. We had a great day trip to Ninh Bình (from Hanoi) with our lovely tour guide “Bruce Lee”. He took very good care of us from the pick up until the drop off. He always had cold water, cold tissues, fans and umbrellas ready, everything you need during a hot sightseeing tour. “Bruce Lee” was very knowledgeable about the historical information and background of the sights and has presented his country in a very proud and welcoming way, always spreading good energy and a smiles. We would book a tour with him again at any point, he became a friend in the 11 hours we spent together - thank you again!

Great adventure with a great guide - We had an amazing day on this small group tour. We covered so much in 1 day and saw some beautiful landscape. Our guide Bruce Lee was amazing. Such an enthusiastic, friendly guy who had so much knowledge of his country. I really feel I know a lot more about the culture after spending the day with him. He took really good care of us, always at the ready with water, umbrellas, cushions for the boat and so on. The whole trip was really great and would definitely recommend booking with stunning travel and spending the day with Bruce Lee.

Awesome day at Ninh Binh - We had a great time at Ninh Binh. Our tour guide was Bruce Lee. Bruce was great and very knowledgeable about Vietnam history. We enjoyed the tour along with our 7 year old daughter. Bruce made sure that my daughter got vegetarian food as well as the right size bicycle for a ride at Tam Coc village. Highly recommend this tour.

Great getaway from the city - We started the trip 7:10 but there were less traffic the whole day so it’s worth it! Our tour guide Bruce Lee brought umbrella and took tons of photos for us and very thoughtful throughout the time. The mountain view and boat trip is very nice and it was a good getaway from the crowded city in Hanoi

10 out of 10 with amazing guide that goes above and beyond - Wauw! We have travelled a lot together but the guide of this trip, Neil, was the best guide we have ever experienced so far. He shared so much about not only the sites/ the tour/ history etc but amazing cultural details. Things we could not even think of asking. Also a hilarious dose of humor and his overall joy was a 10/10. Took us through an unexpected local experience which we absolutely loved. I would highly recommend this tour with this same guide NEIL to anyone!!

Amazing - Overall a great experience. The pickup was on time, the minivan was modern and comfortable and the driver was safe. We got offered plenty of bottled water and toilet stops. Lunch was great as well - it was preset menu with lots of options, although if you're vegetarian or have other dietey requirements, those could be accommodated. The 'standard' lunch consisted of prawn crackers, spring rolls, rice, chicken, goat, vegetables and fruit. Soft drinks were extra. Instead of cycling, you can rent an automatic motorbike for VND200,000. We had plenty of time at each stop, and our tour guide, Nien, was great - knowledgeable, funny and personable, lots of information not only about the history of the sights, but also about life in Vietnam in general. 100% recommend!
