I had a really good experience on this day tour. We visited Hoa Lu, Trang An, Tam Coc and Hang Mua, and all the places were beautiful and worth visiting. The tour was well organised, and the guide was good and helpful throughout the trip.
As an Indian travelling solo, I was happy to find that they also provided Indian vegetarian food just don't compare it with the food you find in India. It was nice to have a vegetarian option available while travelling.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I enjoyed the entire tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Ninh Binh!

The show was much more exciting and wonderful than expected! In addition to the wire-flying stunts, the fire dance performance was particularly spectacular, and the interaction with the audience was a lot of fun. Booking tickets through Klook is very convenient and much cheaper than buying them at the venue. The system also automatically assigns seats, and the seats chosen were quite good. Upon arrival, you just need to exchange your voucher for entry, which is super convenient!

Miss Lan is a wonderful person, great tour guide and even greater photographer. She answered all pur questions, explained everything on the tour and was always smiling. We covered all major attractions in Ninh Binh in one day and it was very comfortable. Definitely recommend the tour and Lan!

Thanks to our kind and pleasant guide Binh and our safe-driving chauffeur, we had a very enjoyable and satisfying Ninh Binh tour. Guide Binh, with his fluent English and extensive historical knowledge, helped us fully understand the historical background of Vietnam related to the ancient sites. In Trang An, we were able to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery from a boat. The climb up Hang Mua was tough and left us completely drenched in sweat, but the beautiful view from the top was a more than sufficient reward. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate, just GO for it. Thank you, Binh.

This activity is well worth exploring. It started promptly, and the drive was about two hours, with a stop halfway for restrooms and food. I recommend eating breakfast before departing. The first stop was Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where we had about 50 minutes. Remember to bring a fan and an umbrella, as it can suddenly rain heavily in Vietnam! The second stop was for lunch, which was a buffet. The food was decent; don't expect too much, it's just a buffet to fill your stomach. After lunch, our guide took us cycling. If you prefer not to cycle, you can relax at the restaurant. After lunch, we went for a boat ride. There are two locations, Trang An and Tam Coc, and we were assigned to Tam Coc. The entire experience was enjoyable. Remember to bring an umbrella. During the ride, they will try to sell you handmade paintings, but we politely declined. After getting off the boat, the boatman will ask for a tip. The third stop was Mua Caves for hiking. Since the stairs were quite wet after the rain, and we were too tired, we decided not to climb for safety reasons. We sat at the restaurant below and took some photos. I must commend our guide, Ryan; his explanations were humorous, very clear (10/10), and helpful!

Every arrangement made was accordingly. The private transfer and transport were good and comfortable. All the drivers that served us were very punctual. The only issue was communication with the driver due to their English proficiency, but it can be resolved with Google Translate. The service from Mie (SST travel )is superb. She responded fast to all my enquires and problems. I will definitely looking for her for my next trip to HCMC.

The experience was amazing with enthusiastic guide and support. I am even happy with the comfort of the bus they provided. I booked it seeing the lower price compared to other packages and the tour didn’t disappoint. Cycling option was also there for sometime after lunch.

What to know before visiting Ninh Binh
Things to Do in Ninh Binh
Trang An Grottoes
You can take a peaceful boat ride through Trang An’s caves and rivers surrounded by limestone cliffs. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most famous attractions in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, offering beautiful views and calm scenery at every turn.
Mua Caves (Hang Mua)
Visit the Mua Cave viewpoint early in the morning or at sunset for the best light and fewer crowds. You’ll climb nearly 500 steps to reach the top, where a great view of Tam Coc and the surrounding rice paddies awaits.
Bai Dinh Temple
You can visit Bai Dinh Temple Complex, one of the largest Buddhist temple complexes in Southeast Asia, located in Ninh Binh Province. Walk through its courtyards, and you’ll see giant Buddha statues and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere.
Van Long Nature Reserve
If you enjoy nature and wildlife, you can explore Van Long on a small boat tour through calm wetlands. You might see rare birds, and on still days, the limestone peaks reflect perfectly on the glassy water.
Tam Coc
You can explore Tam Coc, often called “Ha Long Bay on land,” by joining a boat tour along the Tam Coc River. Pass by rice fields and ancient caves, and you’ll understand why it’s one of the top spots for nature lovers.
Cuc Phuong National Park
You can spend a day at Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam’s oldest national park, filled with hiking trails, lush greenery, and wildlife. It’s an ideal place if you love bird watching or want to learn about Vietnam’s plants and animals.
Tips before visiting Ninh Binh
1. Visit during the dry season
The best weather in Ninh Binh is from November to April, when it’s cooler and the skies are clear. The rainy season can still be enjoyable, but bring a rain jacket for short tropical showers.
2. Book your boat tours early
Popular spots like Trang An and Tam Coc can get busy, especially during weekends or holidays. Arrive early in the morning to avoid long lines and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.
3. Wear comfortable shoes
You’ll be walking or climbing steps at attractions like Mua Caves and Bai Dinh Temple. Bring lightweight shoes to explore easier and safer, especially on wet paths.
4. Stay overnight if you can
While a day trip is possible, spending a night lets you enjoy the quiet evenings and countryside views. You can book guesthouses that also offer free bikes to explore the surrounding area.
5. Bring cash and plan your route
Some smaller attractions and local taxis don’t accept cards. We suggest you carry some cash and use Google Maps to find your way around the main attractions.
