I highly recommend this Ninh Binh tour. The scenery is beautiful, and taking a boat through the valley is fantastic. You can slowly enjoy the beauty of the mountains. The boatmen are amazing, paddling with their feet for two hours. There's also a mountain climbing itinerary, and the all-you-can-eat buffet lunch is great. The value for money is too high. It rained on our outing, so we didn't ride bicycles, but the overall experience was wonderful.

I enjoyed myself thruout the day trip! May be physically challenging if you opt for the cycling at Hoa Lu, and climbing up to the Mua dragon. But the views are worth it! Lunch was decent too. 22 pax minibus was an ideal group size. Would highly recommend.

Although the tour guide was young, they were very flexible in allocating the order of the itinerary and the length of time. The scenery at the attractions was also beautiful. The Chang'an boat trip was picturesque, and the mountain hike was refreshing and invigorating.

It was a fantastic experience overall. The only slight improvement can be done in the food buffet.
