Things to do in Ninh Binh

We had fun time experience in this tour despite of gloomy weather. Our tour guide, Mr Ben, is funny and informative, he managed us all 32 pax very well. kudos as well to our driver, Mr Lucky, smooth and safe drive. Overall, the place is very serene and relaxing. we’re happy to get this experience and felt closer to the nature.

Xin chiao! This is one of the best activities I've done. If you're an outdoorsy person, this is for you. You can do cycling, boat riding while exploring rivers, mountains and caves, and do some climbing up the hill conquering more than 500 steps going up. All in one day! 💚

The biggest highlight of this trip was our guide, Mr. Ben, who was incredibly chatty and full of jokes – both funny and a bit cheeky! His introductions to the attractions were also quite good. We happened to be there right after a typhoon, so a lot of people canceled their trips. As a result, our group wasn't full, with only about twenty people. But it didn't actually rain while we were touring, so our decision to go was the right one. As for the itinerary itself, it was well-organized and packed, but we had enough time to enjoy each attraction. Hoa Lu Ancient Capital is basically a small temple complex. I'm not that interested in historical sites, so it felt a bit like they just added it to fill the day. Then we had a buffet lunch, which was like a large hotel breakfast – a huge variety of options and the food was pretty good, so I was happy with that. In the afternoon, we went to Trang An for a boat ride, which was definitely the highlight. The scenery was stunning, and every photo I took could be used as a desktop wallpaper. The only downside was that the water level had risen after the heavy rain, so the boats couldn't enter the caves. So, keep in mind that you might not be able to go into the caves depending on when you visit. But overall, I was still very satisfied with the scenery. The last attraction was Mua Cave, which involved climbing a mountain. It's only a little over a hundred meters high, but the mountain is covered in sharp rocks, and some parts are quite steep and narrow, so it takes some effort to reach the top – know your limits. Overall, the whole trip is a very well-established tour route and a classic day trip around Hanoi. I think it's best to choose a large group with an English-speaking guide. Spending a day with strangers from all over the world, chatting, making friends, and seeing different walks of life - that's what traveling should be like.

Everything about this day trip was spectacular. Our guide Liam was so kind and took great care of us, we honestly couldn’t have asked for better. The van was very comfortable and spacious and the trip was very well planned. We definitely recommend this day trip over the other options.

This "Trang An & Bai Dinh, Hang Mua" day trip #kaylee was truly an unforgettable experience! The itinerary was perfectly planned, seamlessly blending breathtaking natural landscapes with rich cultural history, leaving a lasting impression. First, I was amazed by the stunning beauty of Trang An. The majestic mountains and ancient temples blended harmoniously, and the feeling of sailing through the river was like stepping into a movie scene. The sacred atmosphere of Bai Dinh Pagoda was equally fascinating, providing a peaceful and reflective experience. The hike in Hang Mua was definitely a highlight. Climbing to the top, my friends and I were rewarded with a panoramic view of the entire region – truly awe-inspiring! The scenic beauty was simply breathtaking, making it hard to leave. The tour guides were knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into local history and culture. Their engaging commentary made the journey even more enriching and enjoyable. Overall, this trip was a perfect combination of nature, culture, and adventure. It not only gave me a deeper understanding of the local heritage but also filled me with wonderful memories. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to explore Vietnam more intimately!

We were very excited about this day trip and Cosy Vietnam did not disappoint! The minibus was super comfortable, and we loved being a small group of 9 people. Our guide James was such a sweetheart, and he took great care of us and gave us so much information about Vietnam’s history! We loved the easy bike ride to the temple, lunch was incredible and the boat tour was mindblowing — Mua cave was the cherry on top of the cake; it was a bit crowded but we got there for Golden Hour and it was breathtaking. Thank you James!!

Well organised day trip at Ninh Binh, packed with fun activities. cycling and hiking was the highlight. Bus was comfy with adequate toilet break. Tour guide is caring and accommodative. lunch was good, drink not included though. it would be better if skip the bamboo factory outlet. At least they not forceful pushing sales. overall, great tour and good values.

Excellent tour!!! The pickup arrived right on time, the group was the perfect size (10/11 people), and the itinerary was perfectly planned: the time spent at each stop was just right, and the places visited were the best. Our guide was a guy named Max… he was fantastic!!! The communication was excellent, and above all, he was very funny and friendly 😂. I highly recommend this tour, and I hope you get him as your guide!!!

Our day trip with Minh was fantastic! He was friendly, organized, and shared so much interesting information about each place. The schedule was well-paced, and he made sure everyone was comfortable throughout. Thanks to Minh, we had a smooth, fun, and memorable experience exploring Bai Dinh, Trang An, and Mua Caves. Highly recommend him!
