Best tour of Ninh Binh out there!!

5.00We loved this full-day tour! It’s definitely one of the best out there. Our guide Jackson was knowledgeable, and our driver Winwin was incredibly skilled at always meeting us at the perfect pickup point. Together they helped us maximize our day trip to Ninh Binh and fit in all the key sites— something that would’ve been impossible to do on our own or even with a group tour. Everything felt seamless, from hotel pickup to shuttling us between stops in a comfortable AC car (lowkey important in vietnam 😅). They handled buying all our tickets and helped us avoid long lines, which made the day feel effortless. We even asked to add a last-minute stop at a duck café and they were happy to accommodate. The scenic walk to the duck cafe, the cute ducks, and the boat tour were definite highlights of the trip.

5.00Amazing views, very well curated route, attentive tour guide. We enjoyed the boat trip along the river with mountains and rice fields on both sides while passing through 3 caves. We loved cycling among the quiet country roads next to the rice fields and mountains, with nice cafes along the way. The lunch was delicious. Overall experience was great.
Worth the booking

5.00If you only have a few days in Hanoi, this is the tour to book. Jason, our tour guide took very good care of us. We met early in the morning, which meant we were able to miss many of the large crowds that went to the different sites in Ninh Binh. Both him and our driver were always on time and very professional. We like learning about history and the cultural sites, and Jason was able to provide a very insightful tour at each stop. I get car-sick easily but the drive was very smooth (would recommend this rather than a large bus tour). With a private tour, we were able to take our time when we wanted to (we actually got back to our hotel earlier than expected which helped with the rest of our trip's plan). Even though the day may seem packed on paper, we didn't feel rush nor felt we were doing too much in one day. For the price, it was definitely worth the flexibility and stress-free time we had on this day-trip. Compared to other tours, this experience gave us the peace of mind while having room to be flexible.
Full on day

5.00Private tours are the best option. You control the time and itinerary. Phillip did a wonderful job and was very knowledgeable. We made very good time throughout the day, we left earlier and were able to get ahead of all the big tours. The lunch was quite good as well. Our driver did a great job maneuvering on narrow streets. For the bike ride make sure you ride very well because it is on the street and there will be vehicles.

5.00The trip was great. Our guide Jackson Lam was friendly and informative. Our driver WinWin was also great. The trip combined both spectacular scenery and interesting historical and cultural information. We went early in the morning, which allowed us to avoid the largest crowds. The hike up Hang Mua wasn’t without effort for us 64 year olds but well worth it.
Round thing
Dieter K,Mar 5, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00The tour is quite varied and enjoyable. Transport 1 comfortable Honda SUV with a level-headed and prudent driver. The tour includes 4 sections visit of the first ruler of Vietnam, a physically demanding ascent of a steep hill with high steps to a pagoda, 1/h bike tour after a tasty , Vietnamese multi-course meal in a more upscale restaurant that offered beautiful photo motifs of the surrounding area ( rice fields framed by limestone cliffs. And last but not least a 1.5h boat tour through this wildly romantic landscape. It should be noted that the rowing boats are usually rowed by women with an unusual rowing technique namely with feet. The entire tour was moderated by our friendly guide Phil with wit and expertise. All in all a round thing ! Thank you for this wonderful day
