Had such a fun time on this full-day trip to Ninh Binh! Our tour guide, Hai Dang, was amazing, so friendly, organized, and punctual. He even messaged me on WhatsApp the day before with details on what to bring, the meeting point, and the schedule, which was really helpful!
My favorite part was the bike ride through the countryside. It was so relaxing and a beautiful way to see the landscape. The boat tour was also amazing, and luckily it was cloudy, so it wasn’t too hot. Umbrellas were provided for shade too!
We also climbed around 500 steps at Dragon Mountain. It was challenging and a little rushed, but the view was definitely worth it! If you don’t want to climb, there are cafés and a lovely lotus pond nearby.
The lunch buffet was okay, but nothing special.
Overall, I really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend it! Hai Dang was a fantastic guide and made the experience even better.

Great tour with our friendly guide, Lin. There was plenty of water provided throughout, and Lin called us her "Family," so we always knew when she was addressing us. Everything ran smoothly, and we got to see a lot.

We really enjoyed our Ninh Binh day tour eventhough it rained throughout the day. The scenery was beautiful, and the whole experience was memorable. We’re especially grateful to our tour guide, Mr. Viet. Unfortunately, my aunt had an emergency while we were heading home, and he was incredibly patient, understanding, and helpful despite the inconvenience to the group. We sincerely apologize to the other tourists and truly appreciate Mr. Viet for going out of his way to assist us. Thank you, Mr. Viet, for your kindness and care. We highly recommend this tour!

During the travel time, our guide spoke to us in English, and we even had time to shop at a store during a restroom break! There was a staff member who spoke excellent Japanese and introduced us to various products! At the beginning, in the ancient capital of Hoa Lu, we enjoyed cycling to our destination! The boat ride in Trang An lasted over an hour and was very satisfying! Finally, at Mua Cave, the steps were very steep and challenging to climb, but the view from the top was absolutely spectacular! Our guide was also wonderful, and this tour was definitely the right choice!✨

Get ready for a long beautiful day in Ninh Binh! Son was fantastic in leading our tour and informing us of all the beautiful history in the areas we visited. Our driver (expert driver) got us every where safely and quickly. The tour overall was beautiful. From the Bai Dinh Pagoda, to our beautiful cruise down the river in Trang An & the hike up in Mua which was also optional but a must. Thank you Son for trying to make our day the best. Also note— the Vietnamese buffet had a lot of options and was delicious.

Highly recommend this travel itinerary! My husband and I don't speak any English, but our guide, Vu Long, was incredibly kind. He sent us explanations translated into Korean one by one and even checked in with us again. Even though we couldn't communicate verbally, we had a very fun, fulfilling, and comfortable trip. And for Koreans, rice is power! The lunch buffet was delicious.

The tour takes whole day which is nice despite the hot weather. David, our tour guide is so knowledgeable about the places and I was accidentally left in the bus due to sleeping but David responded right away and I got saved 🤣We went in June so the lotus lake is so pretty. Also, the buffet lunch is so good! it’s one of the buffet that is memorable to us!

This activity is well worth exploring. It started promptly, and the drive was about two hours, with a stop halfway for restrooms and food. I recommend eating breakfast before departing. The first stop was Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, where we had about 50 minutes. Remember to bring a fan and an umbrella, as it can suddenly rain heavily in Vietnam! The second stop was for lunch, which was a buffet. The food was decent; don't expect too much, it's just a buffet to fill your stomach. After lunch, our guide took us cycling. If you prefer not to cycle, you can relax at the restaurant. After lunch, we went for a boat ride. There are two locations, Trang An and Tam Coc, and we were assigned to Tam Coc. The entire experience was enjoyable. Remember to bring an umbrella. During the ride, they will try to sell you handmade paintings, but we politely declined. After getting off the boat, the boatman will ask for a tip. The third stop was Mua Caves for hiking. Since the stairs were quite wet after the rain, and we were too tired, we decided not to climb for safety reasons. We sat at the restaurant below and took some photos. I must commend our guide, Ryan; his explanations were humorous, very clear (10/10), and helpful!

great experience with one minor hiccup. let me start with whats great, i love the bus driver he was kind and also attentive to the tourists cause my sister mistakenly boarded the wrong bus but he saw her and called out to her. another is that he is such a great driver that i can fall asleep and trust that we are safe. for the guide, martin is kind and helped my sister wash her wound as she fell off the bike. MY CONCERN is that theres not enough medical supply in case of emergency and why are the bikes provided with breaks that do not work? but i must say, all in all it was a very great experience and its really good for the value of your money.
