“Hieu is a fantastic guide that took great care of my family. Ninh Binh is a must see destination. We went on the Trang A boat tour and rode bikes around Tam Coc village and fed the ducks which was an amazing experience. The bus was very comfortable and our driver was great. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.”
“Our guide Stephen (Vū) was great! Very friendly, very flexible and extremely helpful in every way. He was a superb storyteller who exhibited great love for his country. Lana, the co-ordinator was also very patient and helpful when she supported us on all pre-tour arrangements. Go for this provider if you want a hassle free experience.”
“Just had the best day in Ninh Binh with Hieu and driver Hung. We saw so much and Hieu was very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this trip with VSide Travel as you can customise and they will accommodate where they can. The duck feeding at the end was a great way to end the tour. Thank you Hieu for a great day!”
“Our family absolutely loved Lana, she shared so many interesting background storys with us, which gave us a better understanding of the history and culture of Vietnam. Would definitely recommend spending the day with Lana.”
“Very fun and enjoyable trip. Everything well organized. The guide Mai and the driver Hung are very friendly and helpful. We talked a lot in the car about the history, food and language of Vietnam. We took the boat at Trang An, hiked the 500 steps of Mua Cave for the view over Tam Coc, fed the ducks and finished at Bich Dong. Mai was very helpful taking photos and videos for me. Don’t hesitate — this is worth the money!”
