This whole thing was...

Sonny_L, Nov 2025

This whole thing was incredibly confusing. I book a bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh as is stated in the Viator listing. I got dumped into a tour group and the "guide" then takes us to the first tour spot and tells us we need to walk/figure out our way there. Also it ended up costing way more than the $9 initially listed on Viator.
