Bruce Lee was an amazing guide, being very knowledgeable in Vietnam’s history. Bruce Lee was friendly and able to answer any questions. Lunch was brilliant with plenty of choice. Trip was definitely worth the money and would definately reccomend

We had a wonderful day , everything was so well organised . Our guide ‘Bruce Lee’ was so friendly and knowledgeable. He sorted everything out for us … even giving us cushions to sit on in the boat !! A fab day thank you
This tour is definately a great choice to explore the north of vietnam. The itinerary, stops and explanations by our great guide Bruce Lee were astounding. We learned about the history of Vietnam, all the steps of incense making and the cherry on top was the great scenery of Tam Coc. I would absolutely recommend getting this tour, you should ask for Bruce Lee as your tour guide to get the best experience!
Our guide, Fun, was wonderful. The booking and pick up was easy, and the day ran exactly as planned. The boat tour was an absolute highlight, such a wonderful part of the world.
Good trip in Ninh Binh with Tom our tour guide. Super nice memory. Scenery was fantastic with oustandimg service. Will recomend
Excellent tour and an amazing guide NGOC ! I was lucky to have a private tour, even though the group could have had up to 9 people. He picked me up on time, finished right on schedule, and was very knowledgeable. 100% recommended!
The experience was really good and our guide Tom was amazing!
The tour has been amazing! Our tour guide Tom took good care of us and gave us the best experience. Highly recommend both the tour and Tom!
Our guide Tom was really helpful, and explained everything really well! He also took good consideration of the dietary restriction so he took us in a really good reastaurant!
We had an amazing tour today, and Bruce Lee did an outstanding job! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end. He took great care of us, shared interesting information about the local culture, and made sure we had a wonderful time throughout the tour. His enthusiasm, kindness, and attention to detail truly made our day special. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! If you’re looking for an unforgettable experience, we highly recommend Bruce Lee. Thank you, Bruce, for making our day so memorable! 🙏🏻❤️🇻🇳
Highly recommended experience with tour guide QA
Ngoc was fantastic, friendly and helpful made the day fun. Whole day was seamless pickups and drop offs were perfect. All activities were interesting and enjoyable. We learned a lot from Ngoc about each place and Vietnam. The driver “C’ was great, comfortable journey . Highly recommend.
Bruce Lee from Vietnam Stunning Travel is the BEST. He is a champion tour guide. If you are travelling to Hanoi, definitely do a tour with Bruce Lee. He is exceptionally friendly, highly knowledgeable and so professional. After doing a tour with him, I wouldn’t choose anyone else!
A MUST-DO when visiting Vietnam! 🇻🇳✨ The Incense Village & Ninh Binh tour was one of the highlights of my trip! From the beautiful incense village to the breathtaking scenery in Ninh Binh, every stop was worth it. 🏞️🌿 Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive. He kept the group organized, shared so much interesting information, and constantly made sure everyone was comfortable and had plenty of water. Beautiful places + great organization + an amazing guide = 5 stars all around! ⭐️ If you’re visiting Hanoi, ADD THIS TOUR TO YOUR ITINERARY! You won’t regret it. 🇻🇳❤️
Qa was our tour guide, and he was absolutely amazing! From the moment he picked us up to the end of our activity, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. He explained the history and information in a way that was easy to understand and genuinely interesting. He made the entire experience comfortable, enjoyable, and memorable. I would highly recommend Qa to anyone looking for a fantastic tour guide!
We loved our day trip to Ninh Binh! It was such a great way to experience culture, see the countryside and to learn more about Vietnam’s history and geography. QA was a fantastic guide - charming, insightful and full of knowledge (and not to mention a great photographer!) The incense village was extremely interesting, the boat ride through Ninh Binh was beautiful and the lunch was delicious. What a great experience for people who’ve just arrived in Vietnam for the first time. Thanks QA and driver!
QA is perfect je really explain everything really well very nice and have a very good knowledge of Vietnam really intersecting person plus he is really friendly and nice and he smile a lot
The tour was amazing! Bruce Lee is such a nice your guide, very informative and ensured that we are taken care of during the tour.
This tour was a bit underwhelming. I don't know if I was just Vietnam-ed out by this point ( I had already been there for almost three weeks) but the "incense village" is just a little courtyard decorated with incense where they take tourists for photos. The lunch was amazing and the boat ride down the river under the caves in Ninh Binh was super cool. It's a long day for what you actually see and experience
We had Hoà (Bruce Lee) as our guide for the tour, and he was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Bruce Lee was always kind, helpful and perfectly punctual. His English is excellent, and his explanations were clear, interesting and easy to follow. What we appreciated most was how attentive Bruce Lee was throughout the whole day. He thought of everything, even the smallest details, making the entire experience easy, relaxed and enjoyable. He is professional, knowledgeable and genuinely pleasant to spend the day with. We really felt very well looked after throughout the tour. Thank you so much, Bruce Lee, for taking such great care of us and making our day in Ninh Binh so special. Highly recommended! ❤️
Our trip to Incense village and Ninh Binh today was excellent. Our guide Mr Bruce Lee was knowledgeable and explianed every asoects of the trip clearly. He ensued our day is enjoyable and confortable . Thank you, Bruce! The lunch was included in the package and was sumptuous.
Its very good tour for ninh binh and incense village. Everything was so good. Also vietnamese lunch was so delicious. The tour guide is bruce lee, he is the best guide. He helped for everything and take very good photos. Thank you.
Fantastic day out with Hoa our tour guide, really enjoyable day discussing different aspects of life in Vietnam as well as the destinations we visited as well as the most delicious lunch set out for us. Everything was clearly set out and we we kept fully advised of the itinerary and what we doing next. Highly recommended tour of Incense village and Binh Minh day tour. Thank you Hoa for a amazing day. My wife who was Coeliac was well looked after for lunch.
Very informative and interesting look at how the humble incense stick is produced, never fully understood the amount of work involved to produce a stick of bamboo. Nicely set out tour of the operation from start to finish
Lovely experience, to Ninh Binh, Incense village and Tam Coc. Tam our tour guide was friendly with a great sense of humour . He is very knowledgeable and able to communicate well. Our driver was careful and also super friendly. Our Lunch experience was tasty, we'll prepared and presented well. Compliments to the chef and team. Our boat trip on Tam Coc was magnificent . The scenic views were awesome. Just a big word of thanks to Tam and driver for picking us up earlier from the boat trip as it was very long. This was definitely worth every penny
The tour guide Ngoc was very nice. He did his best with taking photos of the group, and had cold water prepared for the group. I enjoyed the tour however I hoped that I would get to see more of Ninh Binh. At least another 1 hour of possibly walking towards the highest peak or driving to see the temple at the top. Otherwise, it was a good tour but I think it could have been great if added at least 1 more of hour of staying in Ninh Binh
Such an amazing experience, from the booking to the organisation, the experienced guide and cool photo ops with my model
Pretty nice tour. Guide speaks English really well and so polite.
Amazing tour guide QA. Very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and very prepared. Recommend to anyone A++++
We have combo tour in incense village and Nim Bihn . We have excellent experience. , both driver and tour guide Q and A did a good job . We are satisfied with their service and qill recommend . I wonder if they have package tour or rate special if you’re student .
They’re thoughtful, and kind. Helped out with taking pictures and the activities were fun.
Excellent trip! Tom is very knowledgeable and shared so much with us. Everything was so well planned!
As far as the composition of the trip is concerned, the incense village could have been avoided. It’s just a small factory of incense sticks with colourful incenses load out just for photo shoots. Not much worth for if one is interested in history, culture. Hence for that reason the second part of the trip was more interesting. Now as far as the guide, Tam, was concerned, he could have been a bit more engaging and spend more time in Hoa Lu. Overall he was a bit hurried. Even for the boat ride in Ninh Binh, he insisted on taking two boats (we are a family of 4 including two children), pay a certain amount of tips, pick us up before from a point before the trip ends and ask for an amount for my smallest child although being an all inclusive trip (the reason cited was her height!). Lunch was a set Vietnamese venue, but was ok! So overall, not a great experience as compared to the standards of a “Viator” experience. And obviously, Tam is not an ideal guide!
Had a great experience and the driver was punctual. Bruce Lee (Hoà Mai), was a great guide - enthusiastic, friendly and informative. Had a great time with him and will definitely recommend this experience to others.
Bruce Lee and the driver were both very helpful and proactive. Our tour guide, Bruce Lee, was very enthusiastic, informative and friendly. Had a great time and will definitely recommend to others.
Guide bruce Lee is top. The driver so. The discoveredtam coc on sampan boat is a little beat too long
We had an amazing excursion to Ninh Binh with Hoi (Bruce Lee)! The entire trip was exceptionally well planned, smooth, and enjoyable from start to finish. Hoi was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and kept everyone engaged throughout the day. He made sure everything ran perfectly while also sharing great insights and making the experience fun. Ninh Binh itself was absolutely stunning, and having such a great guide made it even more special. I would highly recommend Hoi and Stunning Travels to anyone visiting Vietnam and looking for a memorable, stress-free experience!
Bruce Lee of Vietnam is the best tour guide with excellent driver . We learned a lot about Vietnam’s history and culture!! We had fun and definitely will come back and recommend this company to our family and friends. Many Thanks, More power and God bless
Our tour guide, QA, was fantastic—knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely great to be around. He spoke clear English and kept us informed throughout the day, updating us on timing, traffic, options, and each upcoming destination. Even though thunderstorms were forecast, he came prepared with umbrellas for our whole family, which we really appreciated. He shared interesting historical insights at every stop, making the experience both enjoyable and educational. On top of that, he went out of his way to help us capture special moments by taking photos and videos for us. Overall, QA made the day smooth, engaging, and memorable.
Really nice tour guide. Highly recommend, very caring and thoughtful. Took pictures of me and my family throughout the trip while we weren’t looking to make it more aesthetic. Very funny also. QA is definitely an amazing tour guide
Quang Phu Cau Incense Village — looks like a vibrant, aromatic bouquet of flowers. Bamboo laborious cut, dyed in boiling bright colors, laid out like big flowers drying in the sun. Then they roll on this mix of herbs + wood powder (cinnamon/sandalwood smell), some by hand, some with little machines. Old craft done by hand, moving faster now. A lot of workers no shoes on. My big toe still hurts from looking at them. Dust just hanging in the air, you see it , wear it, smell it, we wore masks. They had no protective gear. Spiderwebs everywhere. A woebegone looking dog happily greeted us.
This tour was really great. The in depth look at the incense village. The historical information at the Ancient City, The very tasty lunch. The highlight though was the boat trip at Tam Coc. Truly a Halong Bay experience! Our guide Bruce Lee was friendly, informative, professional and had a great sense of humour, His English is excellent and he went the extra mile to make our tour as comfortable as possible, providing cushions and an umbrella for the boating as well as nice new life jackets. Would recommend highly this tour and if possible this tour guide!!
Great escape to the countryside from busy Hanoi.Temple complex visit was much better than expected.Scenery at TambCoc was spectacular.Our guide Alex was excellent and driver made us feel safe in the busy Hanoi traffic
Hoa (Bruce Lee) was an An outstanding guide—professional, passionate, and incredibly informative. He turned a good trip into a great one.
The tour experience was fantastic and super well organized. The shuttle is super comfy, never been on such a great shuttle before. Driver was great and very careful. And the tour guide (Bruce Lee 😉) was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He shared so many insights from the places we visited and I absolutely loved the whole experience. Thank you!
We had such a good time. Transportation was nice and comfortable. The Village was fun and took a lot of pictures. The boat ride in Ninh Binh was a lot of fun.
We’ve got a nice experience for this trip, Ninh Binh, the beautiful pics and production process from the incense village, the historical knowledge from Hua Lu Temple and the great scenery in almost 1 hour from the boat experience. Especially for the staff, Tom and Jerry, they are so kind and full of service mind, with a lot of funny and engaging stories from Tom.
We had a wonderful time with Tom. The Incense Village, Temple, canoe ride. I would highly recommend and would definitely do this again. I’m traveling with my spouse and three friends and this was perfect day spent. Transportation was very comfortable.
