5.00This was the perfect way to experience Ninh Bình! 🌄 Our guide Thắng was friendly, easygoing, and down-to-earth — he made sure everyone had an amazing time 🙌. I loved that it was a small group, which made everything more personal and relaxed 💕. The luxury bus was super comfortable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable 🚐💺. We took a peaceful boat ride through stunning limestone caves 🛶, biked past rice fields 🚴♀️, and enjoyed a delicious local lunch 🍲. Thắng’s stories and humor brought the whole experience to life — I’d 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam! 🇻🇳✨
Excellent Day

5.00This is a great way to spend a day while staying in Hanoi. It gets you out of the city and into the beauty of Vietnam. The activities are quite diverse, from looking at the scenery on the drive, to walking through shrines sand parks, to climbing up a stepped mountain, a bicycle ride through a gorgeous are and aa boat ride on the river. It is a very well planned excursion, even the lunch was excellent. Our guide Thang was wonderful and took great care of us.
Would recommend to everyone wanting a great experience
