Huge thanks to Lan and the driver for making our day trip through Bai Dinh, Hoa Lu, Trang An, and Mua Cave so memorable! They were both exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. Lan’s enthusiasm and hospitality truly made us feel at home.
I had a great time. Our tourguide Lan was so lovely and told us everything we needed to know about the places we visited. She’s very kind and makes sure you get the best experience. She shows interest in all the people from the group and gives you a lot of recommendations for the other places you will visit. Also she makes sure everyone gets their picture taken at all the must sees. This is especially nice when travelling by yourself and you dont have anyone to take your photo. She sends you the photos through app almost immediately. I would definitely recommend this tour!
My husband and I chose this package to have full experience Ninh Binh highlights for 1 day. It was a great choice ☺️ Our tour guide, Thomas gave us plenty of interesting information and history for each location and made our trip special. Overall, highly recommended! 👍👍👍
Today, my two children and I joined the full-day tour covering four amazing destinations in Ninh Bình: Hoa Lư, Bái Đính Pagoda, Tràng An, and Múa Cave. Our tour guide, Lan, who also goes by Lin Lin, was incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly throughout the entire trip. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and shared interesting information at every stop, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were extremely happy with this tour. And one more thing, the driver was also very kind and lovely. Thank you for making our day so memorable! Highly recommended!
We had a great time during this tour. It was relaxing yet Ninh Binh showed us a great beauty that we will forever remember. I would like to commend the company for arranging such a great tour experience that showcased the 4 beautiful places in this province. The driver was so kind, he gave us so many bottled water every stop. He was so helpful. Ms. Lan, our tour guide, was so jolly and gave us information about each place. We are so thankful we booked this. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!
Guide Lan was an amazing guide and added to a cheerful tour experience. Even in the blistering heat, this tour was worth attending and if you are lucky to get Lan, you'll be in good hands. Warning, bring some sunscreen and a sun umbrella if you plan on coming during the summer months. Lan made sure we were plenty hydrated
We enjoyed exploring Ninh Binh, it was a good day tour, though Ninh Binh was too hot and humid and the visit to dragon statue was the hardest because of that 500 stairs to the top under the hottest sun, but we could make it to the top!
this tour was great. I already knew I was not going to make it up the 5000 steps of the mua cave, but I enjoyed being at the bottom and relaxing with a cocktail while the others went up. it was a long day but well worth it. the lunch was a disappointment, even though we were the first there it was cold and not to the standard of other meals I have had on tours in Vietnam. our guide Thomas was amazing he made it all enjoyable and checked in with all of us during the day. would definitely recommend it to anyone in Ninh Binh.
Great day, we really enjoyed ourselves. Good option for seeing a bit of variety in a short time (temple, then boat ride, then mountain hike). Would book again. I recommend selecting the option to include admission tickets with the tour price, otherwise you face the hastle of having to give cash in person to the tour guide to buy them for you~ slows everyone down a bit. Thanks for the great day!!
Very well-organized and varied day tour with great stops in Hoa Lu, Bai Dinh, Trang An and the Mua Cave, a great guide with lots of knowledge, everything is quite fast-paced due to the extensive program, but absolutely worthwhile - sturdy, good shoes are definitely recommended.
