Great to have a small group and experienced guide Hoa who got us ahead of the crowds at all the stops. Hoa made the trip special by providing little extras (such as a fan and umbrella) to help manage the heat. Very well planned and very enjoyable.
Great day out - challenging/rewarding hike

Great day tour. Good sequence of activities with hike first ( which was a tough climb but worth it). Great banquet lunch too.

We enjoyed this tourist tour with our funny and informative guide Nien. We did all the activities mentioned in the description after one another. We are ahead of time as we have only been a group of 4 people. The air conditioning in the vehicle, which is very comfortable, is a great thing when visiting in the middle of summer. The driver was quiet but nice and he had a safe driving.
Perfect day trip

Really nice way to experience Ninh Binh from Hanoi with a small group. We appreciated the early pickup to help beat the crowds, and throughout the day it seemed as if we were ahead of the larger groups. Good variety of activities and the pacing was perfect. Nien was a great guide giving us a lot of history throughout the day.
Must tour when visiting Vietnam.

Best tour in Vietnam! Request for guide Felix. Excellent English and Vietnamese. Very knowledgeable about locations and history. Gives great advice on do’s and dont’s. Best tour guide I’ve had. I’ve been on many tours and I don’t write many reviews, but Felix was the best tour guide we’ve ever had on any tour. Views of Ninh Binh lotus fields, boat through caves, bike tour through a local village. Have a little of everything.
