Great private tour to Ninh Binh

5.00This was a great experience to Ninh Binh and highly recommend! My family of 4 (including two children ages 15 and 13) had a wonderful time and we were so glad we choose a private tour as we were able to move at our own pace and also didn’t have to wait for anyone at the different stops. The provided lunch at the restaurant was also excellent. Overall, highly recommend!

5.00Our guide was a young girl named Jerry. She gave us all the information of the sites in the car what was nice so we had time taking pictures. I must admit, at times the tour felt a bit rushed, we had a tight schedule. You get to see all the places as promised: Hua Lu Ancient Capital, Múa Cave and Tam Coc. The time at Múa Cave was too short since you don’t have enough time to climb up to the dragon because it’s very crowded up there. We didn’t mind, but I guess some other Instagram lovers would. We especially loved the boat on the Ngo Dong River and the bicycle ride Bich Dong Pagoda.
A must see on your trip to Vietnam!

5.00I highly recommend this private tour. Our tour guide Jason was wonderful! He adjusted our route to make sure we didn’t have to wait in too many lines and we hit the toughest spots first to beat the heat. He provided umbrellas and cold water to keep us cool and comfy. The AC in the car was definitely nice between sites in the April heat. We saw the Mua Cave, sailed down the Tam coc and 3 of its small caves and ended at the Bich Dong Pagoda. Everything g was absolutely beautiful! Jason took some incredible photos of me and my husband throughout the tour. Lunch was wonderful. This was certainly the highlight of our short trip to Vietnam.

5.00Our guide T.A was wonderful. He taught us so much about vietnams history and way of life as well the history of Ninh Binh. He was super attentive to our kids and we adjusted the days plans to suit our needs and energy levels as we were all exhuasted after walking up Mua Cabe in the heat. Highlight was the boat ride!

5.00Our day trip to Ninh Binh was absolutely awesome, all thanks to Tu. Everything went smoothly and was packed with amazing moments. The boat ride through the caves was stunning and super peaceful, leaving us totally speechless. Lunch was a pleasant surprise, perfectly timed and delicious, giving us a taste of local flavours. And the bike ride through the beautiful scenery was the perfect way to chill out and enjoy the fresh air. Thanks Tu, we were grateful to have you as our guide!

5.00We had a great day with Jason and Win Win exploring Ninh Binh. We started early to beat the crowds which was excellent (also helped by the fact that we booked a private tour; no waiting around for others). The day was super varied; we visited the ancient temples, hiked a mountain, cycled through rice fields and quiet roads and ended with a boat tour. Jason was a great host; organised, very attentive and knowledgeable. Lunch was delicious too.

5.00Awesome day with Jason!! Very knowledgeable about the history and a great sense of humor. It was nice being able to make adjustments due to the 100 degree temperature. We did the dragon mountain first instead of the Pagoda. We also changed to the shorter boat trip and he provided umbrellas and fans. The three events were perfect and covered everything we wanted to see. Leaving at 0630 and back in Hanoi by 1700 was just the right amount of time.
