The tour guide James is very friendly and good at listening, with good organizational and adaptability. We took a one-day tour to Bai Dinh Temple, Chang'an, and Mu'a Cave. Due to the weather on that day, James flexibly arranged different itineraries, which made the entire trip go smoothly. It is worth mentioning that James led us in the rain, so that we did not miss any attractions. This was an unforgettable and happy trip
