“This was probably one of the main highlights of our Hanoi trip. It was so nice to turn off our brain and let Sunny guide us through Ninh Binh. Sunny was an awesome tour guide and hilarious. He kept us entertained and we learned so much about the history of Hanoi through his hilarious pop culture references. Literally had another tour guide after this trip and I said “I miss Sunny!””

We’re quite active and fit so manned to do the whole island but it did take the whole day (inc pic stops) so if you’re not quite as capable would recommend picking a couple of spots to check out so you have some time to relax and…”
