Reviews from our customers:
"Our guide was great, and she taught us about both culture and history as we traveled. The tour to Ninh Binh stopped at interesting places, and at the temples, the guide told us about its Vietnamese history. Ha Long Bay was amazing. I could take a modern cruise, go kayaking, and eat a delicious lunch, among other things. We made two stops in Nha Trang. One was a quiet place to swim and look for sea life, and the other was a bit busier with water games. I had never snorkeled before, but I did it with our guide's help, and they took beautiful photos and videos for me. Highly recommended for everyone."
