This tour was amazing! Tom was such a fantastic and wonderful guide! He clearly communicated with us and was always prompt and kept everything on schedule. The attractions we saw and activities we did were all so amazing, I am truly impressed at how much we accomplished with Tom in one day. He took care of all tickets, bus transportation, rentals, food and drink (lunch buffet), and washroom stops. I would recommend this to any of my friends who are looking for a simple way to see the absolute best of Ninh Binh in one day. Thank you Tom!

Miss Lan is a wonderful person, great tour guide and even greater photographer. She answered all pur questions, explained everything on the tour and was always smiling. We covered all major attractions in Ninh Binh in one day and it was very comfortable. Definitely recommend the tour and Lan!

The whole tour experience was wonderful. We had an amazing tour guide, Mr. Donny. He speaks english very well. He's knowleadgable about the spots we went to and shared a lot of interesting facts about Vietnam. The lunch buffet was fulfilling. The overall trip was well-organized. I highly recommend this group tour. It is extremely good value for money.

We had a great time with Duy Pham. No problem with communication because he knows english. We can also customize our itinerary since it is a private tour. this is best to those who just love some flexible time in their itinerary

I love our tour! I didn’t expect much from it since I only booked the Hoa Lu and Trang An tour, but our tour guide, Chu, made us feel comfortable and explained everything very well. I had read some reviews about the bamboo textile shop, so I appreciated that Chu told us we didn’t have to stay long and that there was no pressure to buy anything. He speaks great English, is very knowledgeable about history, and always has great energy. The lunch buffet was great as well! I loved the variety of food. Just expect to pay extra for drinks since they’re not included. It wasn’t a problem for me because Chu also provided us with drinking water. Overall, it was a great tour! I highly recommend Chu as your tour guide.

We received the itinerary confirmation from the local travel agency the day after booking. Although we cancelled our original order including Mua Cave due to our evening schedule and re-booked through Klook for just Hoa Lu and Trang An to return to the city earlier, the local agency was very friendly and prompt in their responses. However, the morning pick-up was a bit chaotic. There was a last-minute change of tour guide and meeting point, and since someone earlier likely arrived late, the vehicle was delayed by 30 minutes. We were the second-to-last group to board, so we ended up in the very back row, which was quite uncomfortable and prone to bumping our heads! Surprisingly, some passengers in the same van actually had the Mua Cave tour included. The guide initially said that those not entering would be taken somewhere else to wait, and we could just decide later whether to pay the extra fee for Mua Cave. We were a bit taken aback by this. After departing, we stopped at a silk rest stop. Upon arriving at Hoa Lu, the guide enthusiastically took photos for us, and his photography skills were great. The itinerary also included a bike ride, but we skipped it and bought some ice cream at the restaurant to wait. Lunch was a buffet on the second floor of a restaurant; they seated us in a private room with strong air conditioning, and many vegetarian options were clearly labeled and quite delicious. Next was the boat ride at Trang An, with four people per boat. The scenery was truly amazing. The only regret was that our boat ticket didn't include stops for sightseeing along the way, which was a bit of a pity, but the scenery was still charming! After disembarking, we had time to browse a small shop and grab some drinks. Suddenly, our guide, Tu Tran, said there was an open seat on another van and offered to switch us to return earlier, personally handing us over to another female guide with glasses named Lanh. She was very enthusiastic and friendly, spoke English without an accent, and the return vehicle was upgraded to a very comfortable Dcar. Furthermore, when we asked about the drop-off location—since we had planned to visit AEON Mall Long Bien that evening and hoped the free drop-off point could be a bit closer to make it easier to call a ride—she was also very enthusiastic in helping us 👍, which made our final night's itinerary in Vietnam go smoothly!

We had a fantastic experience on the Ninh Binh tour! Everything was well organised, from transportation to the itinerary. A special mention to our tour guide, Johnny Handsome, who made the entire experience even more enjoyable. He was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and very helpful throughout the day. His enthusiasm and great sense of humour made the tour memorable. Thank you, Johnny, for making our day so special. Keep up the great work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A fantastic experience from start to finish. The Indian buffet was delicious, with plenty of options and excellent flavors. Our tour guide was incredibly friendly, caring, and enthusiastic, making sure everyone felt comfortable. We would definitely choose this tour again.

tour guide is very friendly. text one day before the trip to confirm the location and whole journey is fun, though the boat ride is very long and quite uncomfortable for sitting too long on the wooden boat.
