5.00Great tour! We covered so much but the time flew by! Even the drive to and from Ninh Binh had beautiful scenery. The tour was really well organized and Qu1 made sure to never leave anyone behind. He was a great tour guide- friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We did a different order than the itinerary listed, saving the best for last. I did the shorter hike up the steps at the lookout near Mua Cave. Once at the top I realized I could have done the other one but the shorter view was great nonetheless. The rice fields and grounds are stunning. Lots of picture opportunities so leave time at the end if you have a group/family for some nice photos together. The lunch buffet was great and there was plenty! Bike riding was an easy loop through a village which was fun. You can sit that out if you wish but if you’re capable of riding a bike, definitely do it! Hoa Lu ancient capital wasn’t that great but it was a short stop and educational. Beware of people taking your photo there. They print them out and want you to buy them as you exit. The ones I saw were good photos though. Lastly was Trang A boat ride through caves. Wow! It’s like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland but in real nature (and minus the fake pirates of course). It was a bit long though. It could probably be cut in half and you’d get the same effect. The scenery is stunning though. We helped paddle towards the end but it’s not necessary. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone!
A great day in Ninh Binh
