5.00The tour was well organised and the area toured is spectacular and well worth a visit. It was made all the more special by our wonderful tour guide, Snow, who was very knowledgeable and provided a delicious lunch at her family home.
Just do it.

5.00Had a really great time - Our host was incredible; and the rapport I was able to build with other guests was so good. The only thing that was hard was the temperature in Ninh Binh when we went, but that's nobody's fault! Remember to bring a hat! Our host gave us recommendations for food and shopping; a brief history lesson while transferring, and even taught us some common Vietnamese phrases! :D
Nice to get out of the city

5.00We decided to pay a bit extra for the private tour and it was a really good decision. The organisation and attention to detail was exceptional. We were picked up on time from our hotel by our brilliant driver and driven to Ninh Binh. There, we met our lovely guide for the day, Snow. She was exceptional from start to finish. So knowledgeable and considerate. She was brilliant at taking our photos and looking after us. We started by climbing to the the top of the Mua Caves. It was good doing this first as it wasn’t too hot or busy. Stunning views. We then did a bike ride to the ancient city, Snow was full of insightful information here. The lunch was delicious and so generous. We finally did a 2 hour boat ride of the Trang A grottoes, which was a highlight of our whole trip in Vietnam and we would strongly recommend. It’s worth the drive out of Hanoi. Overall, a fantastic day made special by Snow. Would not hesitate giving it 5*s and recommending to anyone wanting to visit Nimh Binh! Snow was fantastic with the attention to detail and would always take pictures at any opportunity. The trip would not have been the same without her.
Excellent Ninh Binh, Hanoi local tour and ground transport arrangements

5.00The trip turned out to be beyond our expectations. Christine who helped us with booking the tour was also instrumental in arranging ground transport for us. Hanoi Explore travels is highly recommended as they were propt in responding to messages and were always available to help. Also the prices charged by them we reasonable and overall I will not hesitate even for a second to give them a 5 star rating.
Great private tour experience

5.00The local guide (Thao) was very friendly and responsible. Thanks to her, our trip in Ninh Binh was smooth and very comfortable. The itinerary was well planned, giving us ample time to explore the places and even take some lovely photos! The transfer vehicle between Hanoi and Ninh Binh was very clean and comfortable as well. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Thao was lovely and spoke great English. The tour was beautiful and you could tell Thao is really proud of where she lives, and this pride shone through the tour. We saw some great people, learnt some interesting things about Vietnamese culture and overall had a great time.
