Great Tour with Great Guide

5.00We booked private car, so had a driver Winwin and Jason our tour guide. Jason organised all our tickets and was flexible with our itinerary as I couldn’t climb Mua Cave mountain lookout. Had a great lunch then off schedule found a hotel with a pool so we could cool off for a couple of hours. Highly recommend Jason and this tour if looking to explore Minh Binh at your pace.
Private tour exceptional, great flexibility, knowledgeable and perfect

5.00Great tour, English tour guide Jason so knowledgeable and pleasant. Win Win driver was safe and smooth drive. The restaurant food was delicious. Having a private tour allowed us the flexibility to change some parts we didn’t want to see and do different activities. The boat ride on Tam Coc was so nice, relaxing and such beautiful scenery.

5.00Did a one day private tour with Cong as our guide. Flawless on time pickup, nice car, smiling faces from both Cong and our driver. Cong’s English was perfect, polite, happy, knowledgeable, and professional. A delightfully scenic day. Carefully orchestrated to avoid the heart of leaving Hanoi’s notoriously challenging traffic. Educational, at the right level of detail on showing and telling us about the various sights, history, religious contexts, and past ruling hierarchy. From river tour, to 100’s of steps to viewpoints, to biking. A great day all around. Top quality. High professionalism. Happy demeanor. 5 stars all around. When the guide truly makes the day an experience. Book with confidence of an amazing experience to follow.
Great trip, beautiful area

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic full-day tour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience from start to finish. The service was excellent throughout the day, and everything was very well organised. The restaurant chosen for lunch was outstanding, with great food and a lovely atmosphere. Our tour guide Jason, was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable, sharing so much interesting information and making the whole day enjoyable and engaging. A mention also to our driver Winwin, who was punctual, courteous, and made us feel safe and comfortable the entire trip. Overall, it was a memorable experience and excellent value for money. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a well-run and enjoyable day out to see the beautiful sites!

5.00There are many tours available- but we chose this one as a group of 4 for a private experience. Everything from the bus journey driven by Win Win, to Jason taking us to the temple, dragon mountain, bike rode and then boat down the river. The meal at the restaurant provided was also amazing and fresh. Highly recommend to anyone.

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.
