The best day trip I’ve ever done! I can’t believe how many amazing activities were included. Everything was planned out perfectly - lunch and air conditioned travel was great. The day felt calm and the locations of activities were breathtaking. Hop/Gary was an amazing tour guide - really friendly and knowledgable. This day made our stay in Vietnam, thanks so much!
Definitely recommend this trip! A lot of things to do but the most essential are included. They contacted me the day before to confirm the activity and arrange the pick up point, which was only 5 minutes walking from the hotel. Hai is a really good tour guide. He has too much knowledge and experience and that made our trip very fun. Also he was worried about us being comfortable, gave us water, enough time in every place and even helped us taking pictures.
