5.00This was a great tour. Dave was a great tour leader. There is a 500 step mountain that you can climb to see a temple, but you don’t have. My father didn’t want to try it in the rain and there was still plenty to see in the area. The gem of the tour is definitely the boat ride. It was very picturesque.
Great tour

5.00Key was brilliant as our tour guide. Full of charisma and knowledge about local things and general Vietnam. The trip was so serene, the bikes are a bit dangerous and I am so lucky I opted for the motorbike. The boat trip around ninh binh was superb. We got amazing weather. 5 stars for the whole team behind the trip from the driver, Key, local people we met throughout.

5.00We had the most beautiful day with our tour guide Key! He was knowledgable, funny, and accommodating to all passengers given the heat. The views were beautiful, with the cycling and the boats it was a unique, unmissable experience. The bus was clean and well air conditioned. The food at the buffet was amazing as well. Communication via whatsapp was simple and easy, can’t recommend enough!!

5.00A very nice day, all well organized by the company. They contact us via What’s app to make sure to pick us up the morning of the tour at our hotel. We particularly enjoyed the bike ride, the 2-hour boat ride and the hike to see the dragon up the mountain. A long day but worth it.
Amazing tour
