Ninh Binh Day Tour from Ha Noi: Hoa Lu, Trang An, Tam Coc, Hang Mua

this one is an experience to see Ninh Binh. the tour was organized, the food during lunch was good and the tour guide was patient and kind. be sure to stay hydrated, have sunscreen, hats/umbrellas ready, even have a spare clothes/tshirt because it is scorching hot as all the activities were outdoors

The Ninh Binh tour was truly excellent. Our guide was very kind and provided detailed explanations about Hoa Lu, Mua Caves, and Trang An from start to finish, giving us ample time to explore each location. The lunch buffet offered delicious Vietnamese cuisine, and we also had a short bike ride to enjoy the natural scenery. I especially appreciated the extended boat ride through the caves at Mua Caves. I highly recommend this tour for a safe and enjoyable experience! 👍

I enjoyed the tour. Pick-up was on time for designated location. Itinerary was good - not too rush for each location. Jenny was great at giving background story for each location. Area of improvement, perhaps on the safety aspect of the transportation. Seat belts not in place and the drive there was too fast…

Melody our tour guide was very insightful and fun to follow along with! She made sure everybody felt included and if we needed anything she tried her absolute best to accommodate. I would highly recommend this tour!

We really loved this trip to Ninh Binh. Our guide Mung was very jolly and knowledgeable. He explained things clearly and took us around to all the attractions as per our itinerary. Trang An boat tour was the highlight, Very beautiful landscapes and peaceful. Thanks to Klook for arranging our booking last minute

The biggest highlight of this trip was our guide, Mr. Ben, who was incredibly chatty and full of jokes – both funny and a bit cheeky! His introductions to the attractions were also quite good. We happened to be there right after a typhoon, so a lot of people canceled their trips. As a result, our group wasn't full, with only about twenty people. But it didn't actually rain while we were touring, so our decision to go was the right one. As for the itinerary itself, it was well-organized and packed, but we had enough time to enjoy each attraction. Hoa Lu Ancient Capital is basically a small temple complex. I'm not that interested in historical sites, so it felt a bit like they just added it to fill the day. Then we had a buffet lunch, which was like a large hotel breakfast – a huge variety of options and the food was pretty good, so I was happy with that. In the afternoon, we went to Trang An for a boat ride, which was definitely the highlight. The scenery was stunning, and every photo I took could be used as a desktop wallpaper. The only downside was that the water level had risen after the heavy rain, so the boats couldn't enter the caves. So, keep in mind that you might not be able to go into the caves depending on when you visit. But overall, I was still very satisfied with the scenery. The last attraction was Mua Cave, which involved climbing a mountain. It's only a little over a hundred meters high, but the mountain is covered in sharp rocks, and some parts are quite steep and narrow, so it takes some effort to reach the top – know your limits. Overall, the whole trip is a very well-established tour route and a classic day trip around Hanoi. I think it's best to choose a large group with an English-speaking guide. Spending a day with strangers from all over the world, chatting, making friends, and seeing different walks of life - that's what traveling should be like.

The Ninh Binh Day Tour was a beautiful and well-paced day trip. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, punctual, and even a little funny, which made the long day fly by. The standout moment for me was the boat (sampan) cruise through Tam Coc / Trang An — the karst scenery and peaceful river made it the most enjoyable part of the tour. The itinerary is packed with meaningful stops (Hoa Lu, Hang Mua, Bai Dinh) and includes a buffet lunch, which was satisfying. The only drawback for me was that the tour felt a bit crowded — if you prefer a calmer experience, the listing does offer smaller-group and private options that I’d recommend choosing at booking.  Overall, a highly recommended day trip for anyone who wants impressive scenery and a solid mix of history and nature.

it was a lovely experience.More than I expect.the activities all are amazing and exciting view from cave hundi h and biat ride.I am glad i purchase the package.The tour guide Henry is knowledgeable and well organized.He is friendly to the tourists.The driver goos as well.I salute both of yhem for their hard work

This tour was super lively and fun, but also quite tiring because of all the stairs—haha! I highly recommend Kenny; his sense of humor really made the experience enjoyable. Overall, it was a great time!

Ninh Binh is a must when visiting Northern Vietnam. The tour is physically tiring but very fun. Fist stop is Hoa Lu. Some areas with strict dress code but there is shoal that is free to use. It was just that when we tour the area, Students were also on Field trip making the area crowded. Seems like 300 approx are on Field trip. Next itinerary is the Trang An complex. Tour guide decided to have it early and later lunch to not encounter the students making a lesser crowd while on boat ride which is good. Trang An is one of the best 2 hours of the tour. Heat is bearable and the boat have a foldable umbrella. Third stop is the Buffet lunch. Food is great with multiple variety. You can choose to ride a bike along Tam Coc Village. Last stop is the Mua cave. It is 500steps up and 500 steps down. Be ready physically. Tiring but with cinematic view. Mr. Ben the Man made the tour enjoyable. He is a complete package as a tour guide. Informative and cracks wholesome jokes. 5/5 for Mr. Ben.
