5.00Fun tour through Ninh Binh with a hike, lotus field, boat ride, long lunch, and bicycle ride through the rice fields. Our tour guide, Nien, was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Also the limosousine was comfortable and air conditioned. This is a very active tour so be prepared to wear tennis shoes, breathable clothing, and to be moving a lot. Thank you for a great day! - Tourist from Colorado, USA

5.00We truly liked our day trip today with both lucky our driver and Phong our tour guide. Phong was very energetic, very knowledgeable about the places we visited, and a fun person to talk with! He made this experience worth while and all of the activities we did today was great. Definitely make sure to have a good breakfast before this trip and have a lot of water with you for the steps! I would definitely recommend this and especially having Phong as your tour guide!
