Review for: Deluxe with 4-Star Hotel or Bungalow Stay

my sister, boyfriend, and I had a wonderful time with the tour guides we had on both days (Duyen and Leo)! There was a slight change to our itinerary (ie. the Mua Cave was done on the second day rather than the first day), but we still did everything as planned. There was also a mix-up about whether or not we would get a taxi from the hotel to the first attraction on the second day, but after clearing it up with the tour company, a taxi was provided luckily. Would definitely recommend if you’re tight on time to see all the main sites ☺️

Very nice experience! We 100% recommend the two days, or at least an overnight stay in Tam Coc. The environment is very nice, you can cycle around once the various excursions are finished. If you have to choose, we recommend Trang An and Mua Cave, the two most beautiful visits. The food is very good, buffet style in a local restaurant, but always good.

The first day of the tour was amazing! I had so much fun biking through the Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, and Zane was such a kind and helpful guide. My stay at Belle Vie was wonderful too — the room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The manager there was nice too! Oh and the bed was sooo soft and dreamy, really had a good rest. The second day felt a bit slower, since the bus reportedly left late because some people arrived behind schedule, which meant we reached Mua Cave much later than planned. Still, our guide Nate was very friendly and accommodating. The boat ride in Trang An was a little underwhelming only because the weather was gloomy.

My first day experience was great. We enjoyed everything. Our tour guide on the first day "Jadon" is very professional. He explain things clearly. He also make us feel safe throughout the trip and Jadon is attentive and he gets familiar with all the people under his group. Transport going to my hotel is ok and have my free time from 5pm onwards. My 2nd day is ok. However, I just felt that the tour is a bit rushed and the tour guide is too time conscious. Hence, it's hard to enjoy and just be at the moment during our tour. Food is ok, but hopefully we can have different restaurants option for those who opted 2days tour. Lastly, due to some traffic issue, the guide/bus didn't drop me off closely/near to my hotel. But I felt like it is not really bec of the traffic or weather but rather the guide is always in a rush. Overall, I am still grateful with the experience. Kudos to Jadon(1st day tour guide), he is really good and professional to his job (5 star for him).

overall really good tour to ninh binh area. Both of our tour guide david and alex was really good, kind and helpful. they also explained a lot of details of vietnam history really throughout and arranged pickup and dropoff and the end of the trip smoothly. The best attraction for us was trang an area, where we took boat and enjoy 1,5 hours ride into serenity of the area. really recommended!! we also stay 1 night at trang an heritage garden which is really nice, we had lunch dinner and breakfast there. lunch option was the best one, lots of food option and local delicacy. all the hotels staff was nice, if one thing could be improve was the restroom, and some reason the hot water didnt work at my room. the limousine bus was worth every penny since the seat was really comfortable and spacious. it was nice for 2 hours ride each way to ninh binh area. thank you heritage travel!

I really enjoyed this trip with my wife. The itinerary was very great and not so hectic. We got enough time to explore the countryside. The hotel where we stayed in the night had a great views and vibe. They also provide free bicycle to explore surroundings. Food was also tasty. I recommend 2d1n to have good experience.

Review for: Deluxe with 4-Star Hotel or Bungalow Stay

Unlike the 1D trip, this 2D/1N gives us opportunity to experince peace and quiet in a quiet hotel in the country side (Tram Coc in Ninh Binh province). The first boat ride in Tram Coc sits 2 to 3 per boat and the operator paddles with their feet. Tranquil and not crowded. Nice scenery of krast mountains. The next day boat ride in Trang An, boat sits 4 persons, and the operator rows with their hands. Oars are available to us, but we just sat back. More caves in this 2nd boat ride. The highlight of Mua Cave is not the cave itself but to climb up the hill 500 steps up, another 500 steps down. View at the stop is spectacular. Some steps have high risers and are steep. Wear sensible shoes.

We had 2 guides for 2 days. Both friendly and informative. Two, Guide day 2 is humorous and entertaining. Itininery is interesting. Bai Dinh temple is a sight to behold; tranquil and majestic. Ninh binh is a must go as the Tam coc and Trangan boat trips are so amazing, storks and other birds feeding on water at these Unesco Heritage sites
