I'm very satisfied with the tour. It’s all perfect. The bus is very comfortable, and the small group package I chose really made the tour more private and intimate. My guide is Louis. He is very kind and funny, yet really informative and gave us so many insights about Vietnam, and Ninh Binh especially. I enjoy every stop at the day tour. Each place is timed perfectly, so I don't feel hurried or too slow. The lunch buffet is also delicious. Everything is awesome.
