Visiting Ninh Binh was an unforgettable experience – a perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and flawless organization. - First-class guide Our guide was truly exceptional. Not only did he have deep knowledge of the region’s history and traditions, but he also shared stories in such an engaging way that every stop felt alive. His professionalism and warmth made the journey smooth and inspiring. - Spectacular scenery The boat ride through Tam Coc was like drifting into a dream – winding rivers surrounded by towering limestone mountains, lush rice fields shimmering in the sunlight, and a serene atmosphere broken only by the gentle sound of paddles. It felt like stepping into a movie scene. - Perfect organization Every detail was carefully planned – from transportation and timing to small touches like local snacks and photo breaks. You could feel that the guide genuinely cared about the comfort of the group and wanted everyone to take home special memories. - Authentic experience The highlight was connecting with local life. Meeting residents, hearing about their daily routines, and tasting traditional dishes gave the trip a sense of authenticity that went far beyond typical sightseeing. --- ✨ Summary: This tour was a perfect combination of nature’s beauty, cultural depth, and outstanding guidance. Ninh Binh is a place that reveals the true soul of Vietnam, leaving you with memories that last a lifetime.

Hero (Hung) was our tour guide today and was amazing!! He provided many in depth explanations of the sites we were visiting and answered everyone’s questions. The tour stopped at all the “must see” spots in Ninh Binh, and the bus had AC which was nice. Overall 10/10 experience!

This was an amazing tour. We had Hero (Hung) as our tour guide, he was fun, helpful, and taught us so much about the culture and the activities we were doing. The tour was amazing and we were able to see so much of Ninh Binh in one day! I’d highly recommend this tour and would also recommend Hero, he made our experience that much better!!

It was a great experience. We were picked up right on time at our hotel by a comfortable bus. Very good explanations by our guide Sam of the history and geology of the region. Everything was well organized and timed. The highlight was the boat trip through the caves. This tour is not to be missed.

A great day trip with a fantastic tour guide in Mike. His enthusiasm and great English made it fun. The river trip and caves was good (if very busy and crowded with the number of boats). A decent buffet lunch was also included. The climb to the temple and dragon back was also very busy but definitely worth doing. Amazing pictures from the top. Was a long day but worth it. Highly recommended.

Hung/Hero is a very fun and cheeky tour guide. Would recommend this to see a different side of Vietnam without having to stay away from the city.
