Excellent tour guide, great tour! - Victor was a very informative guide with lots of tips for travellers and great storytelling with history of Vietnam. We were a group of 9 friends travelling together and throughly enjoyed our day tour, so many activities crammed into one day but didn’t feel rushed. Would definitely recommend this tour :)

Had a great day :) - We had such a great day! Especially loved the bike ride through the countryside as you can see so much more at this pace. Really made me appreciate the beauty of this place and it's people. Our tour guide, Victor, was excellent - not just giving us information on the history of Ninh Binh, Hanoi & Viet Nam but also an insight into the life of the lovely people who live here. Plus very helpful tips throughout the day and for the rest of our stay. Also - bus ride was very comfortable - driver did great job.

Exception guide and incredible landscapes! Perfect day. - My best day in my Viet Nam trip, in part due to Vu (Victor) his passion for his country and history really set him apart from other guides I’ve had in the past. He talked (but not too much :+) for the first half an hour then let us relax till we arrived at the cycling. He was fun and considerate of the 12 year old we had with us. The lunch was great for vegetarians which is also unusual on these trips and as much water as you need (which is a lot as hot hot hot) The landscape does not need explaining sheer exceptional beauty! I’d 100% recommend this trip.

Great tour that really took us to some amazing sights. - Two couples did this amazing tour today. The bus was clean and confortable and had a great driver (Hao). Our guide Victor was informative and shared some of his own history. He had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed every minute of the 11 hour tour. He supplied us with all the water we could drink which was much appreciated on a hot and humid day. Victor took us to the most incredibly beautiful places and gave us a lot of inside information that really helped. The lunch was plentiful and delicious. Mua Cave by boat was relaxing and sights were beautiful. We recommend Victor and this tour to anyone of any age.
