Not a very pleasant experience - Tommy seems to be nice guy. Always attentive over the phone. Although we never met him. We got to do the tour with some other guide. We did a number of tours from Hanoi to Ho chi min. I gave 5* to all of them except this one. It was a bit difficult to understand the guide. The “limousine was full, so you don’t get to sit with your family. In Trang An you can’t choose which route to take. You are forced to take the route 2. You can’t stop in the boat at the pagodas like many visitors were doing. At lunch there are around 80 people all arriving at the same time at the buffet. I am sure when Tommy goes himself it’s a better experience.
