Great day trip from Hanoi - Tour guide Jack was excellent - friendly, funny and informative. Really recommend him and so glad we had him for our private tour. If you are after an English speaking guide make sure you ask for him!
Ninh Binh was worth the day trip from Hanoi. We were debating whether to give up a day exploring the city to do the tour but definitely made the right choice.

Big thumbs up - Great experience. Our Tourguide Bao was very motivated to tell us about his country, always smiling and caring about our wellbeing. The tour itself was very divers, my highlight was definitely climbing the mountain at the end of the trip to get to the dragons back viewpoint. Would recommend everyone to do this tour!

One of the best tours we've ever booked. - One of the best tours we've ever booked.
Our guide, Leo, was fluent in English, well-organized, knowledgeable about Vietnamese history and culture, and a very funny and friendly guy.
The bike trip was fun, the temple fascinating (now we know all about the Vietnamese Unicorn and how to enter a temple😜), the boat trip was magical, and the viewpoints were breathtaking.
You will not regret it!

Wonderful tour experience in Ninh Binh!!! - Our recent trip to Ninh Binh visiting Hoa Lu, Tam Coco and Mua Ca was amazing. Our tour guide Mr. Bao is very knowledgeable, humorous and professional. I dearly recommend anyone visiting Vietnam to go there and get connected with the beautiful scenery there.

Ninh Binh Tour turned out great because of Leo - My siblings and I booked Ninh Bình excursions for Hoa Lu temple, Trang An and Mua Cave tour in the last week of Sept 2023. Our guide, Leo made the tour so much fun. He gave us information about things in details, answered all of our questions and was so witty, kept all of 15-18 of us entertained. His fluent accent also helped. Totally recommended.

Great, very worthwhile - We had just the best day...highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide "Happy" with very good English, was very friendly funny and informative, our driver Mr Zeng was very safe navigating our way thru the countryside and peakhour city traffic. Unfortunately we did not make it too the top of the dragon very step stairs and hot temperature, but we did make 3/4 of the way to a viewing platform with great views looking over the rive we had just been rowed down.

For those who has short time - The trip was a bit hurry, although it covers all the itinenary,but some part needs additional time and some part can be reduced. Hoa Lu the ancient capital has the history,but can be reduced as nothing to see except an old temple. Biking is not real good as it is just wasting the time,scenery was so so. For biking you need to stay overnight and enjoy the whole ride in Tam Coc. The two hours boat was good and very cool. Hang Mua needs more time as not all travellers have same pace in climbing up and down. Lunch was a nightmare, long queue and the qualityof food are moderate, too oily and not an healthy meals.
