Very lovely city tour with QA. Really good guide. Went to the train street, mauselum, very delicious Street Food trying out different Vietnamese foods and parliament buildings
The views, food and people were amazing. The atmosphere left me in aww and wanting to see more of what this fascinating country has to offer. Vietnam is definitely a country worth visiting with stunning views and welcoming people 😊
Good comunicating,very accomodating,He knows the tour..and very nice and polite.Verygood in the tour 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A very enjoyable day out with our tour guide Hoa who was very knowledgeable and friendly. A comprehensive tour and the boat journey was amazing. Lovely Vietnamese food. Would highly recommend this company.
We had expromt idea and found a good agent for it. Guide Jimmy had good knowledge and talks. Very touristic places but worth going for.
Jimmy was a great tour guide! Lot of additional information that I never expected. Now i know much more about Vietnam in general and its beauties.
It was a great one day tour to temple and boating tour. I suggest Jimmy as a tour guide! He shared a lot of information about history and landscape. Best!
The guide QA was very nice, there were a lot of activities and he was very passionate. He helped us taking pictures a lot and knew exactly where to take them!
Bruce Lee was an excellent guide and so energetic and considerate. A few of us had our Ha Long Bay excursions canceled last minute due to weather and we were able to hop in to this tour pretty seamlessly. Everything was extremely well run - efficient but did not feel rushed. Lunch was delicious. SO much food! The most thoughtful thing was he even popped some cushions down on the boat ride for us - I did not see other guides doing this for people - and believe me - it was a welcome treat as sitting in one spot on a hard bench for two hours would have been excruciating without them!
We had an amazing private trip for 2, the driver was excellent and the tour guide Hoa was amazing and super knowledgeable able to answer all our questions of which we had many! super well equipped with hand fans and umbrellas when the unexpected rain got us while on the boat he even had cushions ready to make it more comfortable. they also ensured we recieved vegetarian food, great experience and would recommend!
Amazing tour with amazing views. Our tour guide Hao (Bruce Lee) was so helpful and very attentive. Thank you Hao for a great memory
The tour we did with QA was fantastic, we hiked, did mountain bike, eat amazingly and had a nice boat race in one of the most beautiful areas of Vietnam! Totally recommended, thanks a lot QA!
Great way to see and experience Vietnam’s people, culture and places with friendly service and meaningful information.
During the past two days in Vietnam, our trip with Que Ai and Lee was nothing short of spectacular. We had booked a half-day Hanoi city tour with Que Ai, who proved to be an enlightening guide, sharing with us the rich history and culture of Vietnam. His extensive knowledge, friendly demeanor, and reliability made him an excellent companion, being a resident of Hanoi with a wealth of information about the city's past and present. Exploring Hanoi with Que Ai was a delightful, exciting, and educational experience, culminating in a visit to the temple of literature and a fascinating tour of a Lacquer painting workshop that left us amazed by the art techniques. The following day, Lee took us on a fun-filled adventure to Ninh Binh, where we embarked on a 500-step hike to Mua caves, offering us a breathtaking bird's eye view of the city and its serene lake. Our journey continued to Thanh Trang, where we spent a couple of hours boating through the lush landscape and awe-inspiring limestone mountains. Both Lee and Que Ai, with their extensive experience in tourism, were warm-hearted individuals who patiently and kindly accommodated our requests to take pictures for us. Vietnam left us with a profound sense of awe and an eagerness to return for more adventures. And when that time comes, the first people we will seek out are Que Ai and Lee, who made our trip unforgettable with their expertise, kindness, and genuine hospitality.
We love Bruce Lee! Best tour guide..Very accommodating, polite and on time. He guided us into good places and good food. He is the best.
Start till finish everything is amazing! Very accommodating, approachable, sweet and kind people. Hào (also known as Bruce lee) was very helpful you should get him as your guide. I would recommend him!
This was a wonderful way to see Vietnam outside the city. I particularly liked the bike tour as you were able to get off the beaten path. Our tour guide “Bruce Lee” was a delight.
This day trip was amazing- everything went to plan and our tour guide, QA, was very knowledgeable and spoke English well. I would highly recommend this day trip with QA! Thank you!
Our tour guide, Bruce Lee, is very knowledgable and has a vide vocabulary. So you can talk to him about everything wether it’s food, history or the places we visited. The trip from Hanoi to the first stop, Kings ancient palace, gave us insight in the history of Vietnams different periods. Next stop was lunch, he took us to a backstreet restaurant, small, but clean and few people. We had a very nice lunch, 3 different kind of spring rolls, soup, rice, all home cooked. Clean everywhere and included in the price. The boat trip at Ninh Binh is really stunning, mostly because of the beautiful volcano mountains, but also because alle the rowers use their feet to row the boat. So we absolutely recommend Bruce Lee and felt lucky to spend a day with him.
An excellent day visiting Ninh Binh with boat trip on Tam Coc Lake. The included lunch was very good and our guide Bruce Lee was excellent. Trip to and from Hanoi was in a very comfortable limo van .
Everything was great and well prepared. Private tour was excellent! Dang was awesome guide. Dang and our driver took good care of us through the whole trip.
a really nice and caring person #BruceLee. he made us discover places that only locals know. a real sense of service I highly recommend to do again with pleasure
This tour was remarkable!!! Hoa, nickname Bruce Lee, took us on an unforgettable journey hiking, biking, and boating through the countryside. Not only was he a fountain of knowledge but he was courteous, kind and thoughtful. He wanted us to live in the moment and truly experience the beauty of Vietnam. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone!!
We had a great day with so many different activities. Beautiful scenery and delicious food. Bruce Lee was very organised and took great care of us!
Hoa (Bruce Lee) and team deliver an absolutely stunning experience! This is a tour day not to miss. Hoa provides a thoughtful, authentic experience to see an amazing part of Vietnam. We are so grateful for the unforgettable memories we made on our tour!
Came to take us on time. The car was very comfortable. The guide QA was very nice and kind. Has wide knowledgeable, patient. We really enjoyed the tour
Bruce Lee our tour guide was very friendly, informative and helpful. We are glad that we decided to go on this tour to see a little boy t more of the Vietnam countryside.
Amazing day trip out of Hanoi; Bruce Lee was a great host and was a valuable resource for information about life in Vietnam and it’s rich history & culture. Would highly recommend for a full-day trip. Tour bus was timely for hotel pickup and air conditioned. The hike, bike ride, lunch, and boat ride were all part of the trip and we got back to Hanoi ~6-7pm in the evening.
This was an outstanding day excursion from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. The pick up was prompt, car pristine and comfortable, and driver excellent. Activities were well organised, with tasty local food. Our guide QA was exceptional and probably the best guide we had in Vietnam. He was caring, respectful, hugely informative, and ensured the welfare of the group. Highly recommended.
We had such a stunning experience by booking this tour!!! So happy we chose this company. We saw the most wonderful natural wonders and we were looked after with so much care by our tour guide, Hoa!!! He was trustworthy, funny and very informative! Through Hoa's lens we could see the real Vietnam!!
Very well organized trip. Took care of all our last-minute requests and dietary restrictions. They even provided premium life jackets, cushions and umbrellas for the boat tour. Highly recommend the tour guide , QA. He was very patient and knowledgeable. Spoke good english, easy to understand, and translated everything. Went above and beyond to make the trip memorable. The drive in the minibus was comfortable and the smooth. Only wish we had more time to do the other activities they offered. Highly recommend to plan your tour with them!
We booked this trip at the last minute and I’m very happy that we did. Quy was an excellent guide and he was so enjoyable to spend the day with him. Courteous, kind, and funny. You can feel how much he loves his country and wants to share that passion with his guests. Cycling through the town was a real highlight. Our trip to and from Hanoi was smooth thanks to the excellent driver. Would recommend 10/10.
Had a wonderful day exploring Ninh Bin & Cam Toc Village. Loved the walking & cycling adventure and enjoyed the Vietnamese lunch that was provided too. Our tour guide QA was brilliant! We were all amazed at his energy, fitness and knowledge that he shared with us all. He was so caring and made sure that everyone was enjoying their day and was doing ok throughout the cycling & walking. His smile and kind nature shone through everything he did. He made our day! Thank you QA for a great trip to Ninh Bin, the paradise of Vietnam’s north! Can’t wait to come back again.
I would highly recommend this tour QA and Hải Đăng our driver and guide couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. Boat trip to bird park amazing seeing herons and cranes nesting , spectacular. The boat trip at Tam coc was lovely being towed through caves along side paddy fields
We loved the tour guided by Mr. Qa. It was very valuable tô know the Vietnamise way of life and the history of the country. Modern bicycles to cross wonderful scenery. The lunch was delicious.
What an amazing experience! So majestic, and so enlightened. So cool to see such scenery. Hoa was our tour guide and has been so kind and friendly. His effort is hospitable. We appreciate the time and will cherish the memories. We saw where they shot the movie “King Kong” 2016!
Hoa was very attentive to our needs as a family. Good range of activities from start to end including an enjoyable bike ride through different routes. Lunch was plentiful ending with a relaxing boat ride. Hoa organised activities to suit the weather conditions too. All in all his focus was to give us a memorable day.
Had hoa today, it was a great tour, and he was passionate about what he was speaking about, gold standard for a tour guide. Great day!
We had an excellent guide (HOA) who arrived at our hotel Aira Boutique Hanoi Hotel & Spa on time (7.30am). The car was a luxurious comfortable mini van with recliner seats. The drive to Nam Binh was 2.5hrs but went by so quickly and we stopped for coffee and bathrooms along the way. Hoa guided us up a well paved rocky hill top with amazing views from the top. He was very patient with the group of 5 and allowed us to roam around. We then drove bikes around the farms of Nam Binh. This was such a memorable experience. Make sure you do the bike ride. Hoa then took us to a farmers house and we got to learn about there way of life, eat fruit from there trees and drink green tea with their elders - once again, very memorable and heart warming. We then had a very tasty lunch with new friends from our tour group - the lunch was organised by the tour company. After that we we went on a boat ride (small dingy) for 1.5hrs and it was like out of a movie. The views were spectacular. Hoa even carried extra mats and umbrellas to give us at the boat depo so that our journey would be more comfortable. It made such a difference!! Overall a very reliable and trustworthy company. Good guide and honest people.
— Location Ninh Binh is a stunningly beautiful place, rivaling Ha Long Bay and with a lower tourist volume and complexity. The limestone mountains rising out of rice fields and rivers is a sight you can’t miss. — Tour Setup The tour picks you up from your hotel in a limo bus for ~2hr ride from Hanoi, fits 6 guests. They had water for us. The tour guides were all very nice. I was solo traveling and two other couples had trips so each couple got a guide and I got to spend the day with Hai Dang on my own. — Guide Hai Dang was truly awesome; very much of the trip was just the two of us. He is very fun to talk with and we had a really good time together. He really looked out for me as we went pointing out how to avoid overpaying at any local markets we passed or what would make the trip more fun. This was also a super flexible trip and never felt like I was rushed. If I wanted to spend more time somewhere we would detour, and if I wanted to pass something more quickly we’d keep moving. 10/10 for Hai Dang. — Activities > Tea at a local farm & learning about life in the area > Rode bicycles through rice fields to arrive at mountain; very pretty! > Climbed mountain steps and got beautiful views. This was really fun and I found a lot of freedom to climb around on top > Bicycle back > Eat delicious local lunch > River boat tour including through caves which was breathtaking > Trip to temple where I learned a bit about history in Vietnam. I think everyone’s trip is a little different, and you can even stay overnight. Ninh Binh is beautiful and I think that would be a great idea, but if you’re wondering - the single day trip was 100% worth it. I think it is an absolute must-do and I would highly recommend this tour company.
Super organized, everything went super smooth from pick up in the morning and throughout the day with all good he different stops we had. - we had a great time and would book the tour again !! We learned a lot about the area !!
Beautiful day in a wonderdul area with our very kind tour guide Hoa ! Everything was well organised and went smoothly all day. What else?!
Great experience exploring Ninh Binh with Hoa, our tour guide. We rode bikes around the countryside and took a boat tour into the mountains. Hoa was knowledgeable and had really good English. The tour experience was fun, interesting and comfortable. Our ride from Hanoi to Ninh Binh was very comfortable in a luxurious van with recliner like seats. Would recommend to family and friends and would do again in the future.
I can recommend this tour to everyone who does not have the time to stay for several days in Ninh Binh. This tour is very exclusive and perfect for everyone who wants to avoid the big tourist crowds. Our guide Hoa was amazing! He cared so much for our well being and went out of his way to make this experience unforgettable for us. Thank you so much Bruce Lee!
QA was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. He was absolutely incredible and deserves to have his own tour company. He was so patient and thoughtful with our group as well as the locals. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about his job. He made our last night in Vietnam incredible and I cannot thank him enough for such a wonderful tour. We will be back and definitely would love to see him again!
We had a super fun tour today. Luckily we went to the mua cave first. Those were quite some stairs. But our guide Hoa helped us up. He had good information and took pictures when we wanted. Then we cycled along the beautiful mountains to a local house. Hoa showed us everything here and told interesting stories about the culture. Then we had a much too extensive lunch with all kinds of tasty things. Then we had a boat trip where Hoa provided pillows, fans and umbrellas. These were all desperately needed. Finally we went past the temple where Hoa tells all about it. And last but not least, we were transported in a very nice luxury van. So this tour is definitely recommended!
Excellent stay with our guide Bruce Lee who was perfect in his explanations of the places visited, advice and help throughout the trip. We travelled with our 2 children aged 9 and 4 who loved and could participate in all activities without difficulty and with pleasure!
A tour into Vietnamese everyday life in the countryside. Lovely visit to a family that grows their own food. We got to see sesame seeds and taste a self-growing banana. Fantastic bike ride between spectacular mountain peaks, superb lunch with plenty of choice (and vegetarian option) and an adventurous tour.
It was a wonderful experience. With the lily group. The tour guide was the best. Friendly and knowledgeable. Recommended this place 100%
