Hero was awesome. Funny and engaging with his stories. Was picked up down the street from my hotel. The tour itself was beautiful and loved the 486 step climb. Glad we had breaks and stops for the bathroom and to grab optional snacks (or drinks). Overall was a nice day. Thank you Hero for being our tour guide and the food recommendations!

This was our 2nd visit to Ninh Binh in 2 years. This time we bought my father who is in his mid 70’s. From booking the trip to the communications before and after the trip, it all ran smoothly. Our guide for the trip (QUY) spoke excellent English and was helpful and polite throughout the trip. In addition to answering either groups questions, he was ever present to help out with suggestions or all requirements on the day. Whilst the trip is a long day (around 12 hours), it was a great day from start to finish! Definitely worth booking

Really enjoyed our day trip. The coach was very comfortable, the attractions were great. Our guide Quy was very knowledgeable, competent and kept us moving at a crisp pace. A really good man. Full 12 hr day, but ultimately, a must do if in this part of Vietnam.
Great mix of activity and relaxation in Ninh Binh

We had a fantastic day with our guide, Ryan! Ryan was entertaining, knowledgable and made sure we could make the most of every experience. We loved the bike ride and the caves on the river and would recommend this trip for anyone looking for a mix of activity and relaxation.

Quy was outstanding, funny and timely. The biking, boating and hiking up those 500 steps made an extraordinary adventure. You should ask for Quy's tour.
Great tour !

We chose this day tour based on a recommendation of a family member. The day before the tour we were contacted by the Tour Guide, Ryan, by WhatsApp messages and the pickup in the morning was very punctual. During the drive to the first stop, Ryan was very helpful and communicated well as to what we will do/see on this day and also gave some historical views of the country which was very helpful. The first stop was at the Mua Cave. The climb up the stairs was quite difficult at times, as some of the steps were quite high and further up, the steps were a little more unstable. But all in all its a worthwhile climb. Unfortunately the flowers in the water were not blooming. I can just imagine how beautiful if must be when all the flowers are blooming. We then stopped for lunch which was quite good. Right after, we had a 30 minute Bike ride to Hoa Lu Ancient Capital Tempel. During all this time, Ryan was always available and very helpful. To finish the day we went to the Trang An Grottoes where we were divided in groups of 4 persons. Each party then went on a boat steered and ruddered by a local lady for 1 1/2 hours. Quite a long time. But beautiful scenery. Well worse the trip. At the end we had a rush a little as a big Thunderstorm approached. We made it safely back. Some people asked, whether to this tour or Halong Bay tour is better. We did both and we would do both again. Very different sceneries. And again, Ryan did an excellent job the whole day.
Great adventure in Ninh Binh

Perfect outing with our guide Quy. He took good care of our group and made sure we knew the perfect spots for photos. He also provided a lot of education about the sites and the area. Great day with Quy!

First of all, go on the trip without question. The scenery is breathtaking and unbelievable to say the the least. Even on rainy day that I went on the tour was beyond my imagination. The pictures won't capture the awe and aah of the beauty. Ken was our tour guide and he did an exceptional job of taking care of us.
