5.00I’m very happy about this tour. Our guide Koala has been outstanding, he speaks a very good English, he was very clear on the activities and timings and he gave us great recommendations, before and during the tour. It was a busy day, but we had enough time for each activity so we didn’t have to rush it too much. The activities of this tour have been amazing, great landscapes and nature, very much recommended

5.00It was a wonderful, well-guided tour, and Koala was a super-friendly guide. He was always smiling and cracking jokes. The scenes were amazing with the jagged limestone mountains and winding rivers. I really enjoyed the boat passing through multiple caves. Very cool experience. The bus driver was always safe, and the bus felt like a safe island amongst the chaotic traffic.
UNESCO Ninh Binh - stunning!

5.00We had a great time exploring Ninh Binh, the ancient capital Hoa Lu and the boat ride in Trang an. Thank you Quy for being an exceptional guide and taking care of us all the way. Warning, if you’re planning to hike the hill in Hang Mua Cave you need to be physically decent.

5.00We did a one day Ninh Binh guided tour today. Quy was our guide. He was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. We like all the activities which the tour offers: hiking up the Lying Dragon Mountain at Mua Cave, visiting the ancient capital of Vietnam- Hoa Lu, buffet lunch, cycling through the Hoa Lu Village , and almost 2 hours paddle boat tour Trang An. Trang An was where they filmed the King Kong movie : Skull Island. The sceneries are out of this world. We are very happy with this tour and our guide was terrific. Highly recommended!
