Before booking this tour, I checked a few other platforms with similar itineraries, but finally chose Klook because the price was about 10% cheaper. At first I was a bit worried that the lower price might mean lower service quality, but after finishing the trip, I can say everything was really great. The support team was very helpful from the beginning until the end of the tour, always checking if I needed anything. The whole trip was well organized and beyond my expectations. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a highly recommended tour. It's well-paced, with no pressure to shop, detailed explanations from the guide, and an opportunity to learn about the local culture. Customer service is also readily available to handle any issues. I highly suggest taking this tour when you visit Vietnam
This booking made our Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay tour very convenient. The price was reasonable, and the operator was responsive to all of my inquiries. Highly recommended!
The itinerary covers the key attractions in Ninh Binh. We have different guides each day and they were all very friendly and helpful.. Overall the trip was very well organised and the transport for the transfers were also comfortable and on time.
We had an amazing 4-day tour and everything was very well organized from start to finish. A special thanks to Eloise for her excellent communication and outstanding logistics. She was always quick to respond, provided clear information, and made sure every transfer and activity went smoothly. Her support made our trip completely stress-free. We highly recommend this tour!
Very well organized tour. We had a great time. It would be good if you can include Sapa as well and make it 5 day trip.
The Ha Long Bay cruise felt too short. Although advertised as “2D1N,” it lasted under 24 hours and had a tightly packed itinerary. Swimming was also unpleasant because the water was dirty. I was concerned by the pollution from the many cruise boats, including exhaust fumes and plastic waste. Ha Long Bay feels severely overtouristed and unsustainable. Overall, I enjoyed Ninh Binh but would not recommend the Ha Long Bay cruise.
