Ninh Bun is not to be missed! - We had an enjoyable day from start to finish. Ninh Bin and the areas visited on the tour were amazing. Tom was our guide. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. We could not fault his service. He is very cheeky and funny. The lunch was also amazing with a very generous amount of freshly prepared/cooked local food

Fantastic day out exploring Ninh Binh - We had a fantastic day out with Tom. He’s English was great and he was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There were only 8 people on our tour which was a perfect number. We enjoyed every part of the tour, including walking up the 500 steps, it was worth it. The gardens at mua cave were gorgeous and the view from the top was amazing. The ride down the Ngo Dong river was awesome. We then had a bike ride to a local house. The ride was flat and easy. When we come back to Vietnam we would definitely go and stay in Ninh Binh after experiencing a taste of it on this tour.

Wasn’t expecting much, and had an amazing time - Our guide Hieu was great: very informative and shared interesting information. We chose this tour because it contained 2 items we wanted to do and figured the rest of the activities would be alright - but they turned out to be a lot of fun! The bike riding was enjoyable and the boat went through caves and was an hour and a half of photo-taking opportunities. If I were to offer anything constructive or critical, it would be that there was a lot more food than we needed but there was only 3 of us and we weren’t starving. Otherwise, personally I’m not a big fan of selfie sticks but Hieu was taking pictures of us the whole time to send us later, so I’m not complaining.

Wow! Simply the best tour - Hieu gave an excellent day tour to TAm Coc and Hang Mua. I highly recommend this tour. A memorable day in Ninh Binh. We cycled through beautiful lands, climbed Hang Mua which was a stunning view and visited local families and ended with a gorgeous and relaxing boat ride. I highly recommend this tour with Hieu.

Ninh Binh - Nice tour to Ninh Binh. Transportation no time, comfortable but the driver a bit reckless. Our guide Hiue was super nice, took a lot of picture for us and very friendly. Food was great and very generous portions. The only downside is that we were imposed to tip the boat ride?! Overall, a nice day to Ninh Binh
