We had a great day in Ninh Binh and Sophia was the main factor that made it possible.

We had a great day in Ninh Binh and Sophia was the main factor that made it possible. She checked in with us the night before to make sure that she has the right address and to tell us the exact time that she’s picking us up. Sophia was very entertaining, patient, and accommodating. She explained Vietnamese history in great detail and in a very unique and funny way that is easy to remember. She patiently waited for everyone in the tour group and did a great job finding people when they wandered off. She kept us on time and gave great tips at each activity site. She was also our photographer and took very scenic pictures of us and the landscape. On our drive back, we asked to be dropped off in a different place from where we were picked up in the morning and she coordinated with the driver to make that happen for us. We are super happy and grateful that Sophia was our tour guide!Alejandro Q
