5.00It was a great experience. Our guide Sunny (Vu) was very good, knowledgeable and extremely humorous. We really appreciate his guiding skills. We learnt a lot of important historical sagas in his really interesting sense of humour. The biking experience was the highlight, I wish it was longer though. Lunch was good and the boating and hiking experience was amazing. The weather was harsh on our trip day but as Sunny said, we can’t control the weather, but we can definitely control how we take it in! 5 out of 5 experience!
Fun informative trip

5.00Our experience with the day tour was great. Our guide Sanik was very informative, prompt and responsive. We were able to enjoy our time in Ninh Binh with his help. The itinerary also offers a good balance between activities and rest time, which was especially important given the temperature here was in the high thirties when we visited.
