A great day of Ninh Binh with Bruce Lee - Bruce Lee provided a first rate guided tour of Ninh Binh. He picked us up on time, was smart, courteous, had a good sense of humour, spoke English well and struck a good balance between informing us and allowing us to relax and enjoy the day. We would happily recommend his services to others considering a similar trip.

We learned a lot about this beautiful country, and its people. He was attentive and made sure we were comfortable, and enjoying our day. We definitely would recommend Bruce Lee as a tour guide in Vietnam!

A Memorable Experience in Vietnam Despite the Weather - Despite the rainy weather, our trip to Ninh Binh Vietnam turned out to be an unforgettable adventure, and a big part of that was due to our fantastic tour guide, Augustine. From the start, he was not only informative but also warm and engaging, sharing fascinating insights about the local culture, history, and landmarks. His sense of humor added a fun, light-hearted touch to the experience, keeping everyone entertained along the way.
The food was absolutely delicious — a true highlight of the trip. We were able to savor authentic Vietnamese dishes that were rich in flavor and absolutely satisfying.
As for the transportation, the limousine van was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. There was plenty of legroom, which made the long drives between destinations feel easy and relaxed.
Overall, this tour was a standout experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Vietnam. Despite the weather, it was an adventure we’ll remember for years to come!

Great trip, with the amazing tour guide Augustine - Our tour guide Augustine was amazing from start to finish. His energy never wavered and was always on hand to ask questions and explain things in more detail. He kept encouraging us to continue the climb up the mountain to ensure we got the best out of the tour by being able to enjoy to view. He kept us entertained and was very humourous, which made the day extremely pleasant. He was fantastic as was the tour itself. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Hanoi, Vietnam

Great experience and value for money - The areas we visited were jaw droppingly beautiful and rich with history and culture. The visit to a family home was poignant, giving us a richer understanding of local life. Our guide, who uses the nickname Bruce Lee, was excellent - very knowledgeable and personable. We absolutely recommend having him as a guide! The restaurant lunch was also delicious. Our tour was limited to 6 people, which felt like the perfect size. Bruce Lee’s efficiency at every stop meant we were never queuing or waiting around - but also we felt we had plenty of time to take in each experience. This tour is a must do if you’re based in Hanoi for a few days.

Amazing day in Ninh Binh - We had an amazing day in Ninh Binh, and it wouldn’t have been this impressive without Augustine. He planned and organized everything down to the smallest detail — all we had to do was enjoy ourselves 😁 Augustine is incredibly positive, friendly, and genuine. Oh, and let’s not forget — he’s quite the joker 😉 Thank you so much for everything, Augustine 🙏🏻
