Just got back from the 4-day Vietnam trip with Asia Private Travels, and everything was perfect from the accommodation, vehicle, food service... And left by best impression was Ninh Binh. Climbing Mua Mountain for those jaw-dropping views was like stepping into a painting. Big shoutout to APT for making it all happen!
