We 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!

There 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.

We 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.

The 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.

We 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!

Booked 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!
