Ninh Binh is an amazing place to go for family. There are a few different activites between hiking up the 500 steps towards the Lying Dragon mountain, to being rowed in a boat under the caves, to bicycling through the village (or on the back of a motorbike). We had both sets of grandparents with us and our guide, Thang, was wonderful. He really looked out for the grandparents and stayed with them when they were tired. A couple of the grandparents went on the back of a motorbike and had fun, especially since this was a first for them! Thang really encouraged my youngest son who was a bit unsure while bicycling, and gave us really good background on the different sites we were seeing as well as context to current times. Thang was engaging in conversation for everyone, no matter what age. Thang also recommended some wonderful restaurants, which we couldn't go to all of them, since we were near the end of our trip. I would highly encourage booking of this particular trip, especially with Thang. He was super thoughtful, helpful, and fun to be around. :)

Our guide for the day was Leo. He was great and made sure everyone had a good time. He had very strong knowledge about his country which was very beneficial as our small group had a lot of questions. Also, the coach on the way to Ninh Binh was extremely comfortable, so made the journey very easy and allowed for a nice nap on the way back. The only negative: make sure to have breakfast before getting on this tour, the food at the stop is terrible. Ninh Binh was a great place to visit, very glad we did this day tour.
