Review for: Hoa Lu - Trang An - Mua Cave · Standard Bus (maximum of 32 pax) · Indian Set Menu (Standard / Vegetarian)

An absolute highlight of our trip from Hanoi to ninh binh day tour! Seamless organization and a super comfortable ride. The Trang An boat ride through the stunning caves and the climb up Mua Cave offered breathtaking, unforgettable scenery. A huge shoutout to our incredible guide, Lily, who was so engaging, knowledgeable, and kept everything running perfectly. Highly recommended!

A Wonderful Day in Ninh Binh 🇻🇳 We had a wonderful day in Ninh Binh! 🌿 The scenery here was truly amazing—peaceful rivers, magnificent limestone mountains, and beautiful countryside views everywhere we went. Cruising along the river and enjoying the breathtaking scenery was definitely the highlight of our trip. Ninh Binh is such a relaxing place where you can truly appreciate the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere of Vietnam. If you are visiting Hanoi, Ninh Binh is definitely worth a visit! ❤️ A big thank you to our wonderful guide Phuong and driver for taking such great care of us throughout the day. We had a fantastic time and created many beautiful memories together. 🙏🇻🇳

Review for: Hoa Lu - Tam Coc - Mua Cave · Limousine Bus (maximum of 22 pax) · Lunch Buffet

Overall, it was a very fun and friendly tour. Our tour guide, Lily, was kind and very knowledgeable about history, explaining many things about the old capital. It was a great opportunity to learn a lot about Vietnamese history. Tam Coc was a bit hot because we had to be on a boat for over an hour in the scorching sun, but it was still very enjoyable. All the staff at Cozy Vietnam are friendly. Our tour guide, Lily, was so kind that she even sent a picture of herself and her location when she arrived for pickup. The tour members (on a 22-person bus) were also all nice and cooperative, which allowed us to complete every part of the itinerary without any delays. The driver also drove safely, so we had no worries and had a great trip. I highly recommend it! 👍 👍

This booking was absolutely perfect! The D-Car Van provided comfortable, spacious seating, and we felt very safe with our highly capable driver. Our tour guide, Bang, was exceptionally knowledgeable. He shared fascinating stories and historical context for every place we visited, keeping the whole group laughing and engaged throughout the day. We opted for the lunch add-on, which was delicious and accommodated our dietary needs perfectly, and the cycling arrangement they provided was incredibly well organized. All in all, it was a fantastic 5-star trip!

great variety in the tour. Pick up was easy at Hanoi opera house. drive was about 2.5hrs with one stop for food/souvenirs/bathroom. At arrival, Started with a bike ride which has minor slopes up and it was quite hot. Did a loop with couple of stops at a temple , then back for buffet lunch where we got the bikes. It was good amount of food ( drinks were extra charge). Then about 20 min drive to the row boat ride. Fits max 4 persons per boat . it was about 1.5hr going thru 4 caves. the rower helped us take pics and even had umbrellas which was needed with the heat and wearing life jackets . Another short ride to the mountain climb was rough 500 steps but the views were great. It was a long day but well worth it tour to see and do variety of things that were well balanced in timing… not too long and not rushed.

What a lovely trip! Alex led the group really well and took great care of us. Tam Coc was the best part of the experience for me. And the view of the river from the steep but worthy Bich Dong trek was beautiful.

Unforgettable experience! We did a short cycling while visiting the beautiful ancient Hoa Lu temple. At beginning of our Trang An boating, it looked like going to rain but it didn't. Our peaceful boat ride was probably over 1.5 hour. It got hotter when the weather improved and we used the big umbrella prepared on the boat. Good that we brought a bottle of water along to beat the heat. Surrounded by limestone rocks and went through a few low celing caves felt like travel back to ancient time. It was slow and at time felt sleepy because of the heat😅. We tipped the boat lady for her hard work. The last stop Mua Cave we were rewarded with the stunning view after climbing up steep steps. The heat made the climbing even more difficult but we were absolutely glad that we made it. Our guide Minh(Mr. Meow) was friendly, attentive, and informative. We were picked up at 7:20 a.m. in old quarter, we returned at about 7:40 p.m. Maybe it's just us, we didn't have much likes about the lunch.

Had such a fun day trip to Ninh Binh! The tour was well-organized and the places we visited were absolutely stunning — definitely worth the trip out from Hanoi. It was hot and tiring at some points, but honestly that’s part of the adventure. Just come prepared: wear comfortable shoes for the steps/climbs, and don’t forget your sunscreen and a hat! Our guide (Mih/Meow) was fantastic — super friendly, attentive, and really took care of the group. He made sure to stay out in the sun himself so we could be comfortable, and genuinely cared about our experience throughout the day. That kind of service makes such a huge difference. Would book again and definitely recommend to anyone planning a Hanoi trip. Just go in prepared for the heat, and you’ll have an amazing time! Tip for future travelers: If your budget allows, please tip the boat ladies who row you through Ninh Binh — it’s hard, physical work under the sun for hours, and a little extra goes a long way for them.

My mum and I had one of the best time ever with cozy vietnam! After the bus ride there, we started of with a bike ride and it was such a fun time! we arrived at the palaces/temples of their early emperors! after that we had lunch, which isn’t the most amazing 😅but we had full bellies by the end of it, and It was interesting to try the goat meat. we then went on the boat ride, which was totally worth the heat we had to endure! lastly a hike of 500 steps to get a birds view of the lotus and rice fields! what a way to spend a day in nature. it certainly was a breath of fresh air! what wonderful way to escape the lively city of hanoi and experience the gorgeous countryside. Thanks to lily our tour guide who is well informed about the history of Ninh Binh, she taught us all about the lovely place. Thank you for the amazing time!

Overall, the itinerary was well planned and covered all the major attractions without feeling too rushed. Our tour guide, Bang, was excellent—he kept the group engaged throughout the day with interesting stories about the places we visited, along with plenty of jokes that made the journey enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. The bus was also very comfortable, clean, and well maintained, which made the long drives pleasant. The restaurant experience can be improved as we had pre-booked Indian vegetarian meals, we were initially served non-vegetarian food. Thankfully, Bang quickly stepped in and ensured we received the correct vegetarian meal. However, by then the food was a bit cold and the taste was quite average. Better coordination with the restaurant and an improvement in the food quality and service would make the overall experience even better. Overall, we had a great day and would recommend this tour, especially thanks to bang.
