Review for: Deluxe with 4-Star Hotel or Bungalow Stay

I recently booked the 2-day Ninh Binh tour and had a generally positive experience. The travel agent was very responsive and helpful throughout. Itinerary: This is perfect for those who want to see every major landmark. However, the pace is quite relaxed. For example, Day 1 finished around 3:00 PM when we were dropped off at the hotel. Since the boat trips (Trang An and Tam Coc) are quite similar in experience, I personally feel that a 1-day tour might be sufficient for those with a tighter schedule. Logistics: Group-merging is common, and passengers change frequently. We once got off for a site for cycling and a new group boarded our bus without a reminder from the guide to take our belongings. It was a bit unsettling, so be sure to keep your valuables with you at every stop! Accommodation: We stayed at Tam Coc Bungalow (4-star option). The staff were lovely and the breakfast was great, though the rooms were a bit small and felt slightly dated. #QUYEN

I spent my birthday in this tour and I’m glad I did! It was smooth and fun althroughout. Despite some rain on the first day (perhaps even more so) everything felt so beautiful and romantic. The Trang An boat ride was postcard pretty! The tour guides were nice and funny, approachable too! David (Day 1 tour guide) gave me a nice little gift because I told him it was my birthday. The food was amazing too. Honestly, the nicest meal I had in Vietnam was the nice homemade set they served us for dinner. The accomodation was charming enough. My husband and I woke up early to bike around, and it was nice that they had those available for free. The second day was awesome, too! I thought I’d be exhausted with another boat ride, but this one was different enough from the first one that it was still worth it. Overall, a truly great experience. I loved every bit of it!

Very nice experience! We 100% recommend the two days, or at least an overnight stay in Tam Coc. The environment is very nice, you can cycle around once the various excursions are finished. If you have to choose, we recommend Trang An and Mua Cave, the two most beautiful visits. The food is very good, buffet style in a local restaurant, but always good.

Review for: Standard with 3-Star Hotel or Homestay Stay

The first day of the tour was amazing! I had so much fun biking through the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, and Zane was such a kind and helpful guide. My stay at Belle Vie was wonderful too — the room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The manager there was nice too! Oh and the bed was sooo soft and dreamy, really had a good rest. The second day felt a bit slower, since the bus reportedly left late because some people arrived behind schedule, which meant we reached Mua Cave much later than planned. Still, our guide Nate was very friendly and accommodating. The boat ride in Trang An was a little underwhelming only because the weather was gloomy.

Highly recommended tour! If you want to explore other locations in Northern Vietnam aside from Hanoi, then this Ninh Binh tour is perfect for you. Just 2hrs away from Hanoi, this is an all-inclusive, very relaxing 2 days tour with an enthusiastic and informative tour guide (Mr. Harry) and comfortable bus, accompanied with buffet lunch, and a homey and comfortable standard accommodation at Ninh Binh Palm Homestay. Everything from the tour went seamlessly, and the destinations we visited were amazing especially the Trang An and Tam Coc. This tour was worth it!

overall really good tour to ninh binh area. Both of our tour guide david and alex was really good, kind and helpful. they also explained a lot of details of vietnam history really throughout and arranged pickup and dropoff and the end of the trip smoothly. The best attraction for us was trang an area, where we took boat and enjoy 1,5 hours ride into serenity of the area. really recommended!! we also stay 1 night at trang an heritage garden which is really nice, we had lunch dinner and breakfast there. lunch option was the best one, lots of food option and local delicacy. all the hotels staff was nice, if one thing could be improve was the restroom, and some reason the hot water didnt work at my room. the limousine bus was worth every penny since the seat was really comfortable and spacious. it was nice for 2 hours ride each way to ninh binh area. thank you heritage travel!

10/10. 2D1N Ninh Binh Tour is something you should do when visiting Vietnam. 1. Easy communication - they reach out via WhatsApp to give all details, they will fetch you from the hotel. 2. The tour - overall nice, from tour guides, to drivers, and all destination is really really amazing, if you want peace and quiet, Ninh Binh it is! 3. Accommodation - Huge and relaxing, staff are very accommodating, food choices are wide.

Choosing Ninh Binh as our side trip was worth it, specially with this tour. Tour guides for 2 days is different but they are both good, informative and accomodating. The hike to Mua Cave was tiring but the view was really worth it. You can also experience biking on day 1. The view of Ninh Binh province even on the bus is really beautiful. Food on buffet was good and has lot of choices, have vegan options. The stay that the company booked us with was so beautiful, it is run by a family so it feels homey and can accomodate the food you like. It’s called Ninh Binh Palm Homestay. Day 2 is good too. We met a lot of new people that became friends during the tour.

We had 2 guides for 2 days. Both friendly and informative. Two, Guide day 2 is humorous and entertaining. Itininery is interesting. Bai Dinh temple is a sight to behold; tranquil and majestic. Ninh binh is a must go as the Tam coc and Trangan boat trips are so amazing, storks and other birds feeding on water at these Unesco Heritage sites
