5.00The Ninh Binh full day tour was by far my favourite highlight of Hanoi's surrounding natural features. Our tour guide Happy and online agent Amity were both amazing and integral to ensure our day was eventful and ran smoothly. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in Vietnam's natural beauty to choose the services Amity Smile Travel offer.

5.00We booked this excursion to Ninh Binh thanks to the wise advice of Thomas, manager of the Hanoi Moonlight Hotel. Thomas listened to our desires and was able to guide us and organize this incredible ride. Ninh Binh, nicknamed Halong Bay on land, is less crowded than Halong Bay and the sampan ride in the Tam Coc caves is worth the detour. Picturesque and beautiful landscape, I highly recommend.
Wonderful day trip to Ninh Binh - can’t ask for a better experience

5.00What a fun day! We left early for Ninh Binh, the mini bus picked everyone up and off we went. Our guide for the day was Bao - he’s very friendly and has an infectious positive attitude, he shared so much information with us and spoke great English. Half our group was Vietnamese and so he switched between English and Vietnamese all day but you never felt like it was any effort at all. The day was busy - this is not a leisurely trip - but all activities were lots of fun and you still had a good time. We switched the order of things on the day to avoid the crowds and thankfully shared most attractions with a very low number of other tourists. Lunch at a local restaurant was buffet style and really good (plus so many choices - as a vegetarian I felt well looked after). The bike riding wasn’t too hard but still ensured you didn’t sit on a bus all day and saw some of the country side. I took so many photos! Instead of Tam Coc we did Trang An - very beautiful and tranquil. Nobody was pushy or tried to sell us anything - very relaxed. We learnt a good amount of history, saw amazing scenery and Bao made it all interesting and fun. Highly recommended - you won’t regret booking this. It’s a full day tour - we got back around 7ish. Also, I received all the information I needed prior to the trip from Amity (Phuong) - such great service. Thank you to all the team for a great day in Vietnam!
An unforgettable experience

5.00The bike ride through the village was fun & the views from the boat & the dragon mountain were amazing! Leo is a friendly & entertaining guide who told us interesting stories from Vietnamese history. Phuong arranged everything smoothly & efficiently from before we arrived, throughout our stay, until our departure. She responded promptly & went above & beyond for us. It made our whole trip to Hanoi so much smoother. I highly recommend booking this tour or any others with her & Amity!

5.00Amity had been helpful in making the recommendations for my visit to Hanoi. I had very good experience visiting Ninh Binh and was particularly impressed with the Trang An boat ride and breathtaking views from the lying dragon mountain. The cool weather also helped!
