PICK UP LOCATION careful 🧐

1.00I didn’t appreciate the attitude of the tour guide. I booked on TripAdvisor, and it showed me the address where I should come by 7:30. In the morning, the guide texted me that I should be there earlier and in a completely different place. I said that my booking had different information. The guide answered, “I don’t care about TripAdvisor, you should take a taxi and come to the place I say.” We took taxi there. We atrived they left us, and then came back. So be careful—apparently the tour company doesn’t like clients from TripAdvisor. Although I liked the countryside, with beautiful panoramic views. It was super hot in April. The lake was beautiful but too long. I don’t recommend the steps—it’s too hot and difficult. The van was good. The buffet lunch was awful, but in April it’s so hot that you barely want to eat anyway. Overall, it’s an interesting trip.
Beautiful experience. Well worth doing if you are time poor but want to get a flavour of Ninh Binh highlights.

5.00We had an awesome day out on this tour of Ninh Binh. The limousine bus was comfortable and spacious, and our guide Quy was excellent - very knowledgeable and a good sense of humour! Managed to pack heaps into the day but it never felt rushed; the bus being available to take you to and from each destination made it feel very relaxed and organized. Highlights were definitely the serene boat tour and view from the summit of the hike. It is definitely a long day but well worth it and stress free, with plenty of time to relax on the bus ride on the way home. Good value for money with lunch, transport, entry fees all included.
Amazing Tour - Quý is the best

5.00It was a wonderful experience; the climb up Dragon Hill was a bit challenging, but the boat trip was the best part. Our guide, Ken, was so gentle and patient with everyone in the tour.
