Review for: 4 Sites: Hoa Lu, Bai Dinh, Trang An, and Mua Cave · With Attraction Tickets

Today, my two children and I joined the full-day tour covering four amazing destinations in Ninh Bình: Hoa Lư, Bái Đính Pagoda, Tràng An, and Múa Cave. Our tour guide, Lan, who also goes by Lin Lin, was incredibly kind, attentive, and friendly throughout the entire trip. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and shared interesting information at every stop, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were extremely happy with this tour. And one more thing, the driver was also very kind and lovely. Thank you for making our day so memorable! Highly recommended!

We had a great time during this tour. It was relaxing yet Ninh Binh showed us a great beauty that we will forever remember. I would like to commend the company for arranging such a great tour experience that showcased the 4 beautiful places in this province. The driver was so kind, he gave us so many bottled water every stop. He was so helpful. Ms. Lan, our tour guide, was so jolly and gave us information about each place. We are so thankful we booked this. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!

Guide Lan was an amazing guide and added to a cheerful tour experience. Even in the blistering heat, this tour was worth attending and if you are lucky to get Lan, you'll be in good hands. Warning, bring some sunscreen and a sun umbrella if you plan on coming during the summer months. Lan made sure we were plenty hydrated

We enjoyed exploring Ninh Binh, it was a good day tour, though Ninh Binh was too hot and humid and the visit to dragon statue was the hardest because of that 500 stairs to the top under the hottest sun, but we could make it to the top!

this tour was great. I already knew I was not going to make it up the 5000 steps of the mua cave, but I enjoyed being at the bottom and relaxing with a cocktail while the others went up. it was a long day but well worth it. the lunch was a disappointment, even though we were the first there it was cold and not to the standard of other meals I have had on tours in Vietnam. our guide Thomas was amazing he made it all enjoyable and checked in with all of us during the day. would definitely recommend it to anyone in Ninh Binh.

Great day, we really enjoyed ourselves. Good option for seeing a bit of variety in a short time (temple, then boat ride, then mountain hike). Would book again. I recommend selecting the option to include admission tickets with the tour price, otherwise you face the hastle of having to give cash in person to the tour guide to buy them for you~ slows everyone down a bit. Thanks for the great day!!

Very well-organized and varied day tour with great stops in Hoa Lu, Bai Dinh, Trang An and the Mua Cave, a great guide with lots of knowledge, everything is quite fast-paced due to the extensive program, but absolutely worthwhile - sturdy, good shoes are definitely recommended.

we chose 4 attractions, good guide and good driver. tour is long and rich activities. only thing we don’t like is picking up guests from the middle of nowhere took longer than 1 hour. so a lot of waiting. the Spanish guests are so noisy and they just talking like bullets bla bla none stop — they are also fashionably late for every stop. we didn’t stay till the end because our drop off is the last one despite we are first picking up. we came back with a taxi.

Mr Hung was my tour guide, came dot on time to pick me up from the hotel. The whole day tour was excellent and the lunch buffet was very good and tasty and there was something for everyone. Mr Hung always explained everything in detail and had the much needed sense of humor as well. Only slight negative was that the way was way too packed with the group. I had to adjust on the last row and it was quite difficult. However, I highly recommend this tour to everyone visiting Ninh Binh and Mr Hung as well. Thank you for a wonderful experience 🙏

Great experience with Hung! Funny guide, kind and caring. Trip is a bit quick through the first two experiences (Ancient Capital & Pagoda), but still good. Boat tour was beautiful - though that experience makes me sad that they couldn’t row with their legs. I saw some other boats that could. I rowed the entire time to try and help. The dragon mountain is tough! Less about the climb, but the stairs are slippery and the crowds are huge (even me going on dead season). I found that to be a bit dangerous. The lunch was okay. Made a few international friends that we’ll stay in touch with :)
