The tour guide was lovely. Enjoyed the tour. It could get bit tiring by the end of it. There could be more food included, only 1 meal for almost 12 hours of tour is bit too less

We visited the ancient temples of Hoa Lu , did the Trang An boat ride and saw the Mua caves. It was a very well organized trip and loved all the experience. We had a great lunch which was arranged for us. We did taste lot of local delicacies. Boat ride in Trang An was worth it. The 500 steps of Mua caves helped uys burn a lot of calories but it would be advisable for people with health issues to avoid the climb. Alternatively one can visit the beautiful lotus garden which is a part of the Mua caves experience. Our tour guide, Ms. Sunny was wonderful with her caring and supportive nature. She did wait for us as there was a delay due to traffic. She was clear with her instructions and information about the whole tour. She kept a clear eye on all the travellers. The bus was very clean and seats were comfortable. We got water bottles which helped a lot. All the places were very beautiful and we got to click a lot of wonderful pictures. This place and the complete tour is a must and they are an amazing company to plan with. Thank you Halongdolphin:)
Awesome and fun times!

You get to do a lot in one day, and there are some very breathtaking views. Our guide was chill, and good at keeping everyone together. Lunch was, as you would expect, but the boat ride, as well as the bicycle ride, offered some extremely spectacular views of Vietnam. I would go on this tour anytime I am back and I really enjoyed my time in ninh binh
