The trip was great. Good bus and boat ride. Food was ok could have been better. Carry your own water cans as they don't allow plastic water bottles

Great cruise

After going on a small group day trip to Ninh Binh the day before, we weren’t sure how a large tour group (~50) would go. However, we were all thoroughly happy with the experience. Although the timing was relatively short at each stop, it felt like enough. The sunset cruise back was also relaxing and beautiful. Ben our tour guide was the best! He was funny, knowledgeable, and very personable. He made the trip great!

How guide Victor. We are...

How guide Victor. We are all in our eighties and he really looked after us. His communication at all times was excellant

Have to be fit to do this

The lady on board was very kind. My shoe broke and she gave me hers. The tour unfortunately was not for us. My husband cannot climb stairs or walk too far. We did not realize there was so much of this on the trip, so we stayed on the boat all them time. The only consolation was the views.

love it
