5.00We had a great time on our full-day Ninh Binh tour with Trang. She spoke excellent English and explained everything clearly and naturally. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and kept the day organized without making it feel rushed. You could tell she really cared about making sure everyone enjoyed the tour. We really enjoyed and appreciated having Trang as our guide. We learned a lot. Highly recommend her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00Really great tour hitting all of the highlights of Ninh Binh but not rushed. Our guide Quy was very knowledgeable and hilarious and gave just the right amount of information. It rained off and on which wasn’t the most fun but Quy got us all raincoats and changed the schedule a little to wait for the rain to pass before we went on the boats. If I had one tiny thing I didn’t love it was the restaurant. Food wasn’t great, although I understand there aren’t many options out there in the small village.
1000/100 ❤️

5.00Ninh Binh was an unforgettable experience and one of the most beautiful places we visited in Vietnam. The scenery was incredible , towering limestone, peaceful rivers. The boat ride through Trang An,Tam Coc was especially relaxing and felt very authentic. We also want to commend our tour guide, Mr. Truong, he’s excellent and very informative, sharing detailed and interesting insights about Ninh Binh’s history and culture, which really enhanced the experience. The tour was well organized, transportation was comfortable, and the activities were well paced. We highly recommended for anyone visiting Hanoi who wants to experience Vietnam’s natural beauty and history in one day. We will definitely recommend to our family & friends who plan to visit Vietnam. Thank you 😊
Ninh Binh great tour
