5.00Quy was a great guide. Provided relevant information and kept us on path. The tour itself is prompt in timing. The boat tour itself is 2 hours so plan accordingly.

Ninh Binh Day Trip

4.00We visited Ninh Binh and had a great time — the sites were very beautiful and learnt a lot of interesting information and history. The lunch buffet was also amazing with lots of options and a nice environment. The highlight was definitely the boat ride where we got to see some spectacular views unlike anywhere else. At the same time, some aspects of the trip felt very rushed and it was difficult to keep up with the pace of the group which led to us sometimes feeling left behind/missing out and as a result, stressed e.g on the bike ride. While our guide definitely had a lot of amazing knowledge and good personality, we felt she lacked some of the experience and organisational skills necessary to run a tour of this size. E.g. not making sure that all members participating in the bike ride had returned/were keeping up with the rest of the group, rushing group members wanting to buy something, only to have to end up waiting anyway. Overall, while the tour itself was very memorable and a good experience, we felt that a few things could have been improved on.
Great
