Tam Coc - Bich Dong tours

Allthough only one day, the tour was exceptionally good. Each stop was between 1-2 hours, yet was packed with content and intruige. The young tour guide Hao was kind, informative and he genuinely cared to give the group a nice day. I will definitely be going back to Ninh Binh to explore the area more thoroughly as it is an exotic and unique paradise. Thanks and highly recommended.

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…

The meeting point was difficult to find, and I was flustered going back and forth. Because it was a hotel very close to the Grand Church, I mistakenly assumed they would pick me up from the hotel. The tour was in English. I only understood about 30%, but I managed somehow. The reasons I chose this tour were that it goes to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Mua Cave, includes cycling, and returns to the hotel at 5:30 PM. As a result, I didn't get back to the hotel until 7:30 PM, but the two-hour boat ride in Tam Coc was still sufficient, and when I asked to be dropped off near the Grand Church on the way back, they fulfilled my request, which showed how adaptable the wonderful guide was. I was able to climb the 500 steps, which were almost a cliff, to the higher point, even though I'm 56 years old and my knees are a little sore. But I was drenched in sweat, so maybe it would have been better to spend more time relaxing in the countryside. Overall, this tour was an absolute bargain at $4400!

It was a very satisfying tour. I was torn between Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh during my solo trip, and I chose Ninh Binh. As a Korean with weak English, I was a little worried about an English-speaking guide, but thanks to the friendly guide and the simultaneous interpretation app, it wasn't too difficult to understand the explanations of the historical sites. It was a pleasant experience, and the beautiful scenery of Ninh Binh was impressive. I went on a solo trip this time, but next time I would like to enjoy it again with my whole family.

The tour guide seemed too young and didn't really control the group well. Also, while they were called a tour guide, they didn't actually introduce the history of each location. This was a very different experience compared to other tours I've taken in Vietnam. The worst part was that after dropping everyone off at each location, they didn't mention a meeting time. When I asked the tour guide what time we'd meet, they just replied that they'd be waiting at that spot, and the voice was so quiet that not all the tour group members could hear. So, the entire day was spent waiting for other tour members to return to the group, plus it was a holiday, so there were tons of other tour groups at each location! Because our group arrived late to the restaurant for lunch, we only had half an hour for lunch, which felt very rushed and uncomfortable. The bike ride after lunch is really unnecessary. The bikes were super bad, and the roads were super bad too. It's skippable. The only complete experience during the whole trip was the boat ride. The Mua Cave at the end was just a big question mark. We paid money to enter, but we could only stay for 40 minutes. There was no time to climb up, even though the park was really beautiful. It was such a pity we couldn't go up because we'd be late. Again, regarding the final meeting time to return to Hanoi, we waited in the car for 40 minutes because other tour members were late. The whole experience really felt like we spent 2/3 of the time waiting for people! If you're going to spend a whole day on this, I recommend booking a small group or a private tour. You really get what you pay for!

One of the best experiences Ninh Binh has to offer! The tour runs from 9am to 5pm, and includes multiple hikes around beautiful locations, beautiful landmarks such as the prehistoric cave, entry into the conservation site, and a scenic river boat ride. The national park was beautiful to visit and there were so many butterflies in all locations that we hiked. The prehistoric cave was daring, scary, but very beautiful. We had the opportunity to go inside and explore and even go up to the 2nd level of the cave. We enjoyed a lovely lunch and hiked to a gorgeous reserve with a scenic pool and lots of butterflies. On the way we saw lots of wildlife, critters and flora which were spectacular. Our guide, Binh, was very energetic and kind. He was very informative and pointed out lots of critters while we hiked. He is very experienced and a great guide. Would definitely recommend booking this tour as it was an inclusive and amazing experience, with a great service.

Our tour guide, Hiu, was incredibly knowledgeable, smart, friendly, kind, passionate, funny, and wonderfully down to earth; he was also very attentive to all our needs. Beyond his guiding, Hiu was a great photographer and took amazing photos of me and my friend! We absolutely enjoyed the entire tour, with riding the scooter around the rice paddies being the absolute highlight. I highly recommend Hiu's tour services!

Very relaxing ride around Ninh Binh on an all electric e-bike, no peddling!
