The thing that I like most about this tour is its itinerary included some free time when I can explore on my own. It was a regret that Ninh Binh hadn’t been included in the itinerary; however, Hanoi city was so interesting and I really like the cycling experience there. Compare to the cheap price I paid, the service of Connek Trip was amazing and all hotels during the trip were perfect. – Mr. Thomson
