Great private tour

5.00We loved this private day tour to NinhBinh. Jason was our guide and WinWin was our driver. They were both fun, informative and professional. Communication was great beforehand from the company and Jason contacted me the day before to confirm. They arrived early at our hotel for pickup. Lunch was fine, not amazing. It was a restaurant that basically seemed to only cater to tour groups. But I would still absolutely recommend this tour. Try to start early- it gets pretty hot and crowded later in the day.
Overpriced tourist trap

2.00This is very overpriced tour. You can simply rent a car or a van with a driver for a full day and visit the same places with your own pace. We had a good driver but very unpleasant and arrogant guide who was most of the time a useless person. Please do not do my mistake. Do your research and plan your tour independently or at least try somewhere else. Do not get traped that for the highest price you will receive the highest quality of experience.

5.00Phillip and his driver were amazing. So thankful for the tour guidance through Ninh Binh. Having Phillip as a guide was like having a local friend in Vietnam to make things easier and less confusing at the same time he made it a good time and was very friendly and supportive! I highly recommend using this tour guide company!

5.00Both the driver (Lien) and guide (Son) made this a great experience. The private car option is the best choice as the larger tour buses were clustered and chaotic. This private option was also beneficial as the tickets were already provided and we didn’t need to wait in line. The driver Lien was very experienced and Son was a wealth of knowledge and answers all my history questions. Son also took excellent photos of us and the memories will be in our hearts always. We would definitely recommend this tour with Son to everyone. It was an absolute amazing experience.

5.00Had an absolutely wonderful day with Philip today in Ning Binh. Phil was completely adaptable to our needs, and had an uncanny knack of being able to get us the main attractions ahead of the army of tour buses that circulate in this area. We loved this magnificent area, from the challenging hill to Mua Caves to the lovely, spectacular boat ride in Tam Coc and the stunning Bich Dong pagoda, carved into a limestone cliff. Phil provided excellent background information and explanations, was on schedule and was an enjoyable companion throughout the. Highly recommended!!!
Wow!

5.00This is a great day trip with plenty to see, learn, and do. We did not have time for an overnight in Ninh Binh, so this was the next best thing. We saw lotus farms, amazing temples, and of course took the iconic Tam Coc boat ride. Our guide was great and tailored the tour to our desires.
Great day tour option

5.00Had a wonderful day with Philip and our driver. Just the right amount of information to be interesting without unnecessary details. Both guys were very polite and helpful, with plenty of humour! Philip even made sure we were checked into our hotel with no fuss. We would certainly recommend them for any tour you might want to take. 10 out of 10!
