5.00I had a wonderful day visiting Ninh Binh! Tony picked us up at our hotel, explained our activities in detail, and supported the group through the day. We climbed , we biked, we ate nice lunch and finished with a wonderful paddle board ride that I enjoyed the most! Full day trip, a perfect day to spend with my husband and son, thanks Tony!
Best Tour guide in Vietnam ask for Tony!

5.00Tony was the most informative, engaging and knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had. We had a deluxe tour of Ninh Binh and and Tam Loc. it is obvious that Tony takes great pride in his job and loves it and also loves the beauty of his country. This was enjoyed by all of us on his tour. He was careful with the guests and as a result we had a once in a lifetime experience. The stairs were definitely a challenge for me and he made sure all of were safe. The bike ride was fun, and the beauty of Tam Loc amazing. However, it’s is always the people that make an experience and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour and this guide in Vietnam. If I was staying longer I would book more tours specifically with him. Also I do not give this praise lightly. Thank you for such an enjoyable day! Also he took photos as well!

5.00Our tour guide Tony in Ninh Binh was truly exceptional. He was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. Throughout the entire trip, Tony told every detail about the history, culture, and stunning landscapes, which made the experience so much more meaningful. His explanations were clear, engaging, and showed how passionate he is about his work and his hometown. Tony was attentive to everyone’s needs and always ensured we had enough time to enjoy each stop. Thanks to him, we experienced the true beauty of Ninh Binh. I highly recommend Tony to anyone visiting the area.
Not a transfer

1.00Don't take young kids, even if you book them in they will refuse them a seat.and say to add to your lap even if you pay more money. It's not a bus transfer, you're jammed onto a tour bus as an accessory to a tour around ninh binh and ferried around a bunch of crappy overpriced shops which gives the tour company kick backs. Then you're taken with a bunch of other people on a tour route so not direct then eventually you get taken to your hotel...it's honestly a waste of a day and I'm so pissed off I didn't just use Grab. For reference this took 4 hours rather than 2 hours when we got a grab home.

5.00Da was an excellent tour guide who introduced us to the wonderful culture of vietnam. Very very well coordinated. Right from pickup to lunch spots to translating for us with locals, Da was excellent. Thank you for this amazing experience

3.00This whole thing was incredibly confusing. I book a bus from Hanoi to Ninh Binh as is stated in the Viator listing. I got dumped into a tour group and the "guide" then takes us to the first tour spot and tells us we need to walk/figure out our way there. Also it ended up costing way more than the $9 initially listed on Viator.

5.00Had an absolute ball, Tony was very professional and knowledgeable. His humour was first class as well. He kept the tour moving and made sure all guests were included. Thee 500 steps was challenging but Tony encouraged all that tried to success. I would recommend this trip 100% Deluxe option is advised. Buffet meal was excellent.
Best place to visit with friendly guide TONY recommended highly.
