Things to do in Bai Dinh Temple Complex

I really had no idea what to expect when I booked this excursion. The trip was very well described on the website but even with that, one doesn’t really fully understand how it will all run. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with our driver, our amazing tour guide (called “T”) and the smooth operations of the trip. And that’s not even going into the magic we saw along the way. T was skilled in sharing the history and stories of all the sights we saw. It was a full day and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We had a mixture of ages in our group and T made sure all of us were tended to.

We really enjoyed our Ninh Binh day tour eventhough it rained throughout the day. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole experience was memorable. We’re especially grateful to our tour guide, Mr. Viet. Unfortunately, my aunt had an emergency while we were heading home, and he was incredibly patient, understanding, and helpful despite the inconvenience to the group. We sincerely apologize to the other tourists and truly appreciate Mr. Viet for going out of his way to assist us. Thank you, Mr. Viet, for your kindness and care. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Mr. Hong, was excellent. He was entertaining, managed our time well, and even took photos for us at each stop. The other tour participants were also wonderful, and I enjoyed chatting with them during lunch and while walking. The goat meat for lunch was surprisingly delicious, and I ate it all. The lunch portion was generous, and for dessert, we were given sweet bananas, which were also tasty! The river cruise in Trang An showed a change in the river's color from the beginning to the deeper parts. Although our August tour was hot, the lotus flowers were blooming beautifully, and I'm glad we went.

Best tour, best guide Hoang, best service! This was my third tour since coming to Vietnam, and it was the most fulfilling. The lunch was delicious, the guide was kind, and I thoroughly enjoyed the 12 hours! Even though it rained, they still accompanied me all the way to the top of Hang Mua mountain, took great photos, and even lent me a jacket when I was cold. I went alone, but I felt incredibly well taken care of and that they genuinely tried their best to explain everything. It was wonderful when they played the flute at the temple! I highly recommend this tour!

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.

Great tour with our friendly guide, Lin. There was plenty of water provided throughout, and Lin called us her "Family," so we always knew when she was addressing us. Everything ran smoothly, and we got to see a lot.

great experience with one minor hiccup. let me start with whats great, i love the bus driver he was kind and also attentive to the tourists cause my sister mistakenly boarded the wrong bus but he saw her and called out to her. another is that he is such a great driver that i can fall asleep and trust that we are safe. for the guide, martin is kind and helped my sister wash her wound as she fell off the bike. MY CONCERN is that theres not enough medical supply in case of emergency and why are the bikes provided with breaks that do not work? but i must say, all in all it was a very great experience and its really good for the value of your money.

The Ninh Binh tour was so beautiful, it was one of the best day tours of Vietnam. The guide was helpful and cooperative, the boat rides were all inclusive along with lunch. it was hassle free and a good day spent. Trang An was truly magical!

Huang is a great tour guide! He just started a month ago, and it's amazing how he manages his time and is attentive to our needs. He is also knowledgeable about Ninh Binh. The driver is also skilled, which made the drive relaxing and safe. My family and I had a great time spending time at Bai Dinh Pagoda and taking a boat ride. The trip is slightly fast-paced as there are so much to see. However, it is definitely worth recommending to those who want to explore outside Hanoi!
