The Dragon's Lair - While in Ninh Binh, I took the opportunity to climb the 500 steps up a steep track to the Dragon's Lair. The climb is medium difficulty, following a defined stone path up to the crest of the Mountain. Once on top, care must be taken to view not only the Dragon, but to follow the length of its body to the Temple sited at its tail. Breathtaking views over surrounding Countryside to be had. Return to ground is by same path....

Fun, complete tour and good helpful staff - Very good! The guide was fun, knowledgeable and very energetic. The whole operation was very good and well organized and adopted easily to our needs and requests (like pick up place, luggage storage…). The tour is very complete, diverse and interesting, a little intense if it’s very hot.

title : Ninh Binh trip - Even though the weather was raining, this was an excellent tour. The Bai Dinh complex was amazing and incredibly spiritual. The 1,000 steps was worth the effort to reach another beautiful pagoda. Inside the pagoda's resonate with calm and peace and are magnificent. Go to admire carved statues, gold Buddha and landscaped gardens, but be entranced by the spirituality. Then on to Trang An and a boat trip, where you are rowed, around a very scenic waterway system with caves, islands and lovely scenery. The bicycle trip after lunch was cancelled due to the rain, however the tour was still very good and is highly recommended.

Ninh Binh is incredible! - Wonderful tour and well organized with a very nice guide. Tam coc and the Mua cave are so beautiful and highly recommend if you want to do a quick day trip out of Hanoi. The tour operator was very easy to get a hold of and responding quick when I had questions, she was very kind! Great customer service!

Fantastic trips with Tinny, we booked multiple times - Tinny is very personable and easy to deal with. The pricing was either on par or better than the others. We booked at least 4 daily travels over a two week period. We recommend Tinny to any travellers to hanoi.

Martin is so helpful - Booked our day trip to ninh binh with Martin he was so friendly helpful an explained everything he even showed a bit of concern as my partner is quite big and thought he'd struggle with the mountain climb but we did it and thoroughly enjoyed our day. He even helped us out with flights that we'd previously booked by checking us in online and printing them out saving us a lot of hassle at the airport 👍👍 thank you very much Martin hope to see you again soon
