We really enjoyed the tour. We visited some very beautiful places and had a delicious lunch. The guide was with us the whole time, telling us about the locations and creating a positive atmosphere. During the program, he offered us a choice for our next destination, which we were very happy about. As a group, the tourists decided to swap one of the excursions with lunch, which turned out to be a great decision. The tour was very diverse, including walking up steps, cycling, and a 2-hour boat ride with beautiful views. As for the downsides, the bus wasn't very comfortable, and there were no seatbelts in the last row. We also didn't like how some other tourists disregarded the time of the people, the tourists, the guide, and the driver. At the first location, we waited for some people for over 20 minutes on the bus, and at the second location, we waited for others for another 20 minutes.

We had a great time and experience with this tour! Everything was planned well; Jobs (our guide) made sure we can get the best experience by slightly changing our itinerary so we can avoid the crowd and fully enjoy it. Everything was seamless and we were very comfortable all through out the tour. Thank you Jobs for making our trip extra special!

The guide was fun and friendly. Ninh Binh was as great a trip as I had hoped. I highly recommend it for a day trip from Hanoi.
