Ninh Binh Tour

5.00We had an amazing experience on this tour with Jason as our guide. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He shared very interesting and relevant information about each place we visited, which made the experience even more meaningful. Ninh Binh was absolutely spectacular. We were able to climb all 400 steps, and the views from the top were truly breathtaking. The scenery around the lake and the temples was stunning — definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend this tour with Jason as your guide. He made the whole experience enjoyable, informative, and memorable.
Overall a good experience

4.00The tour was overall nice, and the guide seemed to work hard--there just might have been some miscommunications. Everybody was on time and communicated well. I was surprised we had a gift shop bathroom break on our way there, when nobody asked to use the bathroom. We said we didn't need to go in, so the guide and driver continued on without further delay. We requested boat tour #2 and tickets were purchased for #3, but it was still very nice. However, I didn't realize our boat was going to automatically skip stops unless we specifically asked the rower for a stop. The default included restaurant is fine, and they were willing to take us to a different lunch restaurant (probably at our cost), which I maybe should have done. Overall, an amazing day, and just a couple small wrinkles.
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Kong. We visited places we would never have found in our own and lunch was delicious! We climbed a mountain, visited several pagodas, cycled in the countryside and enjoyed a small boat tour of a local river leading to a gorgeous hidden oasis. Overall, we saw a lot in a small amount of time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the tour to friends and family! Thankyou Kong for an amazing day in Ninh Binh!
Ninh Binh is a very special part of Vietnam

5.00Booked a private day tour to Ninh Binh and had a superb time thanks to our tour guide Jason! Jason is very thoughtful, friendly and luckily he suggested to pick us up earlier from the hotel to avoid the traffic jam. My friends and I were surprised and impressed by his photography skills as well. Lunch provided was in a nice restaurant with good food. The car provided was spacious, clean and driver Wyn Wyn is great too. Overall so glad we booked this private tour!
Knowledgeable and vibrant local Guide!

Solo private tour of Ninh Binh

5.00I highly recommend a private tour, it allows you to be more flexible in what you do + no waiting around! I also recommend taking an earlier tour, to avoid busy time and peak heat! I opted to climb the 500 steps and to cycle around the village, however this can be changed to suit your preference and abilities. The lunch stop was lovely, more than enough food! Jason (guide) & Winwin (driver) were welcoming and attentive. Jason shared a lot of knowledge of history and made sure the trip was enjoyable and comfortable. I went solo for this trip and would recommend if you're unsure about taking a solo trip or feel overwhelmed by the options
From the beginning to end, the private tour was flawless. Highly recommend the tour guide Jason and the driver (win win?) .

5.00We went on a tour of Ninh Binh and visited Mua cave where we saw beautiful scenery. Then we rode bikes through picturesque rice paddies. Then we went to Trang Anh where we were whisked away on row boats through the canyons and caves. Tu was very friendly and organized. The hotel pickup was punctual and their tour vehicle had cool air conditioning and lots of room. I highly recommend a tour with Tu!
