Young family Ninh Binh full day trip Stunning Travel - Mr QA was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly with a good sense of humour. The tour itself was perfect for my family with children around the age of 10. The highlights are the view from the top of the steps - you earn it! - the lunch and the boat ride.
Thanks to QA for making the day so interesting and fun!

Amazing tour w friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! - Hoa is an amazing tour guide! He is knowledgeable of the history and the sights. You can tell he wants to educate us on the Vietnamese culture and how people lives and not just shuttle us from place to place. He hiked up to the top of the mountain with us and make sure everyone got enough breaks and water. We had a wonderful time biking around the backcountry of Ninh Binh where no other tourists were. We had a wonderful lunch of local cuisine before floating on the river to see the caves. Last but not least, we were educated on the history of the old temple about the king and his three sons.
This was such an amazing tour. I would highly recommend it!!!

Great day in Ninh Binh - Wonderful tour. Very well organized, our guide Hoa was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture and took the time to really explain things. We hiked in the morning before it got too hot, we went off the beaten path on the bike ride (fantastic experience), the boat ride was very interesting, and Dinh Temple gave a great sense of history.

An amazing day in Ninh Binh with Hoa! - We had such an amazing day with Hoa! He was incredibly knowledgeable and had interesting facts and stories to share. And, most importantly, he was very kind - making sure we were comfortable throughout (not easy on a very hot day), explaining every step of the itinerary, and just really making good on his promise to give us an incredible trip to Ninh Binh!
We booked this tour through our hotel, so that was a stamp of approval right away - and now we understand why they had so much confidence in this tour and Hoa (Bruce Lee) in particular.
Don’t hesitate to book the trip to Ninh Binh and ask for Hoa!

Excellent Ninh Binh small group Day Trip - QA was our tour guide and his service was excellent! He spoke good English and was clear and professional in his communication. He arranged our tour such that we avoided the crowded times, and we were able to enjoy our day to the fullest. Special thanks to QA for ferrying my youngest kid on the bicycle across the countryside, and also patiently waiting for us as we slowly climbed up the mountain. QA also helped us take lotssss of amazing photos!! All in, it was a great fruitful day trip to Ninh Binh and transport was super comfy on a DCAR limousine with massage function on the individual seats! Highly recommend this tour really good value 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
