We took a one-day tour of Ninh Binh (Hoa Lu, Trang An, Mua Caves) departing from Hanoi. Our guide, Martin, led us, and his attentiveness, kindness, and appropriate sense of humor made our trip even more enjoyable. The bus was also very comfortable, and the itinerary ran smoothly without any delays. Thanks to this, we were able to fully enjoy the magnificent natural scenery of Trang An and Ninh Binh. If anyone is planning a Ninh Binh tour, I highly recommend this travel agency.

Overall, it was good. The tour guide was young and responsible. The boatman on the Trang An boat tour proactively asked for a tip before the tour ended. We had already prepared one, but intended to give it at the end of the trip. The only drawback was that the air conditioning on the bus wasn't cool enough, making it a bit stuffy inside.

Everything was good. The itinerary, the guide Mr. Ben and even the driver, Mr. Lucky. The buffet lunch is delicious and the restaurant is spacious. Bus condition is also good, cool air-condition. Overall, it was a good tour. We enjoyed a lot and will definitely go back. Cam on.

We really enjoyed our full-day tour of Ninh Binh! The hotel pick-up and drop-off service was very convenient and helpful for us. The package also included a buffet lunch and complimentary bottled water. Special thanks to our tour guide, Mike, who was very helpful, kind, and friendly throughout the tour. He made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! ☺️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed my Ninh Binh trip. The views were amazing, and it was truly one of the highlights of my Vietnam journey. From the beautiful landscapes to the smooth itinerary, everything was well organized and stress-free. A special thank you to Linh for the excellent service, prompt communication, and thoughtful follow-up even after the trip. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for helping create such wonderful memories in Vietnam! 🇻🇳❤️
