Ninh Binh one day tour
The tour offered by them was really good. We did a private tour and it costed us like $110 per person. We hit three spots - Hoa Lu temple, Mua Cav and Trang An. We were picked up at 8 am and we were taken to the first spot pretty early too. The trip included lunch as well, with plenty of vegetarian options too. The tour guide who came with us was the cherry on top to this trip. She knew her country's history well and explained everything in detail. Overall, I definitely will recommend this travels.

7 days Vietnam Tour though Indo China Tourism company
When I first contacted them through google I was little skeptic . Because so many frauds are happpening nowadays . But after talking to Channy I got the confidence. She was extremely prompt and professional. She also guided me to design the best possible itinerary for a seven days trip covering all three main cities Hanoi, Da Nang and Ho Chi Minh City. For me, Da Nang was the best. Anyone visiting Vietnam must visit Da Nang . In terms of natural beauty I will give Vietnam 3.5 out of 5 . But in-terms of behaviour, warmth, food , spa facility and cost of living I would rate Vietnam 4.8 out of 5. And as a tour operator I would rank Indo China company 5 on 5 . Channy and Tony are two gems of this company who were in touch through out the journey over WhatsApp and resolved any issue/ problem within few minutes. We were touched by their thoughtful welcome gift, special lunch on day one and their warm company. Another important highlight was our smart tour guides who were very smart, sensible and kind. We were immensely charmed by Heidi who was so kind and witty and made the one day Delta tour very special because of her wonderful company. In a nutshell, it was a fabulous experience. But I was not so impressed with our Halong Bay experience especially with Gloria Cruise considering the amount we paid for the VIP cabin.

Excellent excursions
Mary did a great job of arranging our all day tour of Hanoi, Vietnam, and of Halong Bay. Our guide in Hanoi was very, very nice and gave us an amazing history lesson on Hanoi and on Ho Chi Minh. Mary also arranged at the last minute the day before a great all day tour of Halong Bay because my wife just had to go there while we were in Hanoi. I highly recommend this tour company for Hanoi and surrounding area!
