5.00Had a fantastic day visiting the different sites. Our tour guide Quy was great (very informative) and a special shout out to our driver. It's a pretty active day so make sure you wear comfortable clothing and runners are definitely a must!
A good day despite the weather

5.00The day started off a bit wet but that did not take away from the experience. Everywhere we went the scenery was amazing. The highlight was boat trip through the caves, the bike ride around the villages was a close second. Our tour guide Quy was very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about the area and local culture, his English was very good, he told lots of funny stories. I would highly recommend to anyone this day trip.
Excellent tour of Ninh Binh

5.00What a great day, well organised and smoothly run. Although the places visited were very busy, our group moved through reasonably fast. I would definitely put this down as a must do in Vietnam. Well done to our guide and driver.
Lovely day trip

4.00Great day trip for a day off. Climbing the stairs at Hang Mua was tough in the heat, but doable and worth it. Trang An was beautiful, but the boat ride was perhaps a bit long. Hoa Lu was a little underwhelming, but my standards are perhaps high. Our tour guide Quy took great care of us, and the break / shopping stop & street vendors weren't too bad. Lunch was edible, but the meat was gamey and chicken dry. Schedule was a little tight, but not stressful.
Great day out

5.00My friend and I booked this as a last minute way to see Ninh Binh whilst we were in Hanoi. Our tour guide Quý was lovely and very informative. He also helped with some questions the day before the tour. We particularly enjoyed the boat trip around Trang An. The landscape is unreal!
