The operator is from KKday for this day trip. Pick up timing was confirmed one day prior to event, fast and clear response from the team. Visited part of Bai Dinh, the pagoda wasn’t included by default, went to a few temples structures. Lunch at cosy Vietnam, average but definitely filling. Trang an boat ride was the highlight personally. View at Mua Cave might be better in other season when the rice fields are yellow. (Went in Jan, the fields are brown). Overall had a good trip and guide was helpful and good in conversing in English.
