Convenient way to travel to Ninh Binh region. Our guide, Kate, was enthusiastic and shared a lot of information regarding the region. The bus ride was also comfortable and the driver was experienced and drove safely. Ninh Binh is known as Halong Bay on Land, offering great karst mountains views. Physically fit people may consider including Mua Cave hike in the visit to have an aerial view of the region.

It was a great course to experience the wonderful nature of Vietnam with a pleasant guide. The Tam Coc boat tour alone was enough to experience such beautiful natural scenery. If you have some free time in Hanoi, it may be a good choice.

A well organised tour plan. started with the quiet visit at Bai Dinh Pagoda. followed by the spectacular boat ride at Trang An. rather interesting as we went through 4 different caves. the climax was the Mua cave, most crowded and challenging!

Review for: Hoa Lu or Bai Dinh, Trang An Ecotourism & Mua Cave

This was a well paced tour with where we got to experience different terrains and environments, from walking around ancient grounds, to rowing boats through narrow caves, to climbing 500 steps for a beautiful view of Ninh Binh. Great for family even with young kids. Tour guide was knowledgable and ensured that we were well taken care of. Thank you!

Thai people travel alone, but the guide takes good care of us. When the English is spoken too fast and we can't keep up, the guide gives very good explanations. The guide is knowledgeable about the places and gives interesting information. The day we went, it rained a little, but we were still able to take some nice pictures. I like riding a bike with nice weather.

Review for: Hoa Lu, Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An Ecotourism & Mua Cave

The scenery of the valley and caves is very beautiful. It is a pity that the lotus flowers on both sides of the river bank are not in bloom. It would be even more amazing if the lotus flowers were in full bloom! Riding a bicycle on the road is a bit dangerous, and the tour guide should pay more attention to the safety of the group members. Tour guide Leo speaks very good English and explained the history of Vietnam to us very seriously. Thank you very much to him.

Hung was a great tour guide. He was very communicative and friendly during the trip. I was able to get picked up directly from my hotel. The shuttle van was a bit bumpy but okay. Also, they provide free water bottles.

The product composition is cost-effective. The guide's Vietnamese history and manners at tourist sites were good, and I appreciate the consideration for each and every detail. In particular, it was a wonderful experience to be able to see the great wonders of nature once again by boat.
