4.00The tour guide Ngoc was very nice. He did his best with taking photos of the group, and had cold water prepared for the group. I enjoyed the tour however I hoped that I would get to see more of Ninh Binh. At least another 1 hour of possibly walking towards the highest peak or driving to see the temple at the top. Otherwise, it was a good tour but I think it could have been great if added at least 1 more of hour of staying in Ninh Binh
Great place for photography
