Great day trip from Hanoi.
Viet was funny, thoughtful and a great tour guide. The entire trip was a blast! Glad we went for it. Sometimes finding legit trips in Vietnam can be hard (google reviews can be exaggerated), but this one is the real deal. The bus driver was safe, the amenities were clean and in well working order. (Even the bicycles) I would reccomend this for anyone feeling even a little apprehensive, you'll be in good hands :)

Legs and arms work out! Great tour
Great day out full of fun, amazing sites and a lot of laughs. Not for the faint hearted. Tour guide could try for stand up comedy.

Fantastic full day tour with lots to see
Fantastic full day tour. Awesome boat ride with amazing scenery. Climbed the 500+ steps - not for the faint of heart but worth it for the view. Our guide was great and changed the order of the itinerary so we missed the crowds. Definitely worth getting the private tour as it means less waiting around as it gets busy there. Our lunch was very tasty.Overall, we had a great day.

Wonderful trip!!
I booked the full- day trip to Ninh Binh tour Hoa Lu, Trang An and Hang Mua Cave . The overall experience was wonderful, very attentive staff and they took great care of us. The tour was very well organised and in my opinion one of the best experiences of our trip. Highly recommend!!

Awesome tour!
There is a 500 step climb which might be difficult for some. It is more difficult coming down! The view is worth the climb! Buffet was excellent! Our guide, Son, was awesome, very informative and an awesome sense of humour! Best guide we've had in our travels!

I had a wonderful time in Ninh Binh. The driver was very prompt with the pickup and provided a smooth, safe journey to our destination and back.
Our guide was incredibly warm and friendly, taking us to some truly beautiful locations. One of the highlights of the trip was enjoying a delicious lunch at her home, which made the experience feel even more special and personal.
Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable trip from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Ninh Bihn is such a unique place; this shouldn’t be missed when you’re visiting north Vietnam. Book your trip on a weekday to avoid the weedend crowd

Visiting Ninh Binh was absolutely picturesque, offering a scenery reminiscent of the iconic James Bond Island in Thailand.
