Best tour guide in Vietnam

So I was not sure what to expect since most tours and guides have not been all that great in Vietnam. To say the least I was very satisfied with Lily. She lets me know what time pickup was going to be the night before ( personally I would like to know a little earlier in the night since I don’t stay up late) but that is just me. She reached out again in the morning before getting there and was on time. The driver was professional and the van was clean inside and out . As for the everything we saw it was great. But what really made it nice was in a 2 hr and 30 minute drive she gave us a lot of information regarding what we will see and what to expect. As we got close it started raining and she even made minor changes to fit everything in and see what would happen with the rain. When we got to our first stop she even went in and got everyone rain coats so we could stay a little dry. As with me she even confirmed my food choice to make sure I wanted Indian and I was okay with spicy. Her English was very good I from my point of view she got all the information related to everyone in the group. She allowed us enough time at each location which was nice and gave helpful tips as well. Like the last stop which side to do if your only going to do one . She also took care of getting all the tickets for us and handing them out. So all fees were included as well in our trip. I would love to have her on every trip I book here in Vietnam. Great personality and great enery

Ninh Binh tour review

We had such a great time on our Ninh Binh tour with Lily! The tour was absolutely worth the money—very well organized, with an on-time pickup and every activity arranged smoothly. Safety was clearly a priority throughout the day, which we really appreciated. Lily was cheerful, friendly, and made the whole experience even more fun. Highly recommend!
