Our travel organiser was Gam Nguyen (Ms.) who was very responsive and helpful provided a good itinerary to suit our needs. I had to postpone our trip due to an injury and Gam was very obliging and helpful to reschedule. We did Ninh Binh - Mai Chau - Pu Luong 3 Days tour with Incredible Asia Journeys. Our driver was Mr Bow and guide was Huyen. Both were great. Huyen is a very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide. 100% recommended both of them. I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of the city and have a taste of village life. Not crowded compared to Sapa and great sights and food.
Thank you for submitting your booking request with us. Please kindly check your email!
