Amazing experience with Thao - Thao was very very friendly and helpful. She was always cheerful and enthusiastic. Our whole group really enjoyed our day tour with Thai and very thankful that she was our guide. We would highly recommend to have Thao as your guide .

Ninh Binh with Thao - In two days we discovered the area of Ninh Binh. The first day Thao picked us up at the hotel and took us for a boat trip in Tam Coc. People row with their feet??? Nature was beautiful. After that we climbed the 500 steps of the dragon mountain. Thao invited us for lunch at her place, which was delicious. After lunch she took us to Hoa Lu, the capital of Vietnam between 968 and 1010 and taught us about the royal dynasties in that period.
The second day Thaos sister took us to the Bai Dinh pagoda, the largest pagoda in SE Asia. She took us to a restaurant for lunch where we ate local food like goat. After lunch we had a boat trip in Tang An, UNESCO world inheritance.
Thao and het sister are very friendly and and took care of everything. Also things that were not part of the trip. They made us feel very welcome in Vietnam.

Great tour guide in nin bin - She is an amazing woman—well-mannered, very welcoming, and an excellent guide. She’s also a great photographer and took many photos of us that we absolutely loved. She knows all the best spots, making her truly outstanding. A perfect 100 stars for her!

Beautiful scenery and memorable experiences! - We arranged a private tour and Thao, our tour guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and kind and accommodating. Trang An, and Mua caves were beautiful. And the lunch at Thao’s home had such beautiful food and was such a great experience for my family. Highly recommend this tour!

A memorable day trip to Ninh Binh - From start to finish, our tour with Hanoi Explore Travel was exemplary. Our driver, Tuân, was prompt, friendly, and informative; the car was comfortable and immaculate. Our tour guide, Thao, was so warm and welcoming. Not only did she tell us details about the extraordinarily beautiful places we visited, but we shared lovely conversations about our families and interests. She took pictures of us throughout the day and then sent them to us at the end of our tour. She even put together a photo montage to music and sent it later that evening. This experience was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Vietnam.

Great Tour and Guide! - The size of the group was perfect - not too big (~20) which was great to adjust the activity times/order quickly. Our Tour guide, Ming was great as well.

Lovely day, the view worths the trekking! - Lovely day, the best part was the cycling and the climbing to the highest point. It's 600 steps (1200 up and down) but it's so worth it!
We had a lovely and big lunch with a lot of vietnamese cuisine.
The boat ride in Trang An was lovely but the place felt very turistic, I would recommend to do the boat on another place (Tam Coc instead of Trang An).

Definitely worth a trip! - It was a really great trip, I wasn't quite sure if it would be very touristy, but the weather was cloudy and there weren't that many people there.
All in all, it was really worth a trip, the only thing was that the lunch was by far the worst we've had in Vietnam so far

Great locations but far from a luxury experience - The places the tour takes you are absolutely gorgeous, but unfortunately the tour company itself has some issues:
Pros:
1. The boat ride and hike are absolutely gorgeous with amazing views.
2. The transportation is very comfortable and the WiFi works great.
Cons:
1. The lunch is absolutely disgusting and borderline unsanitary. Much of the hot food was room temperature, so who knows how long it was just sitting there. The entire group found the meal terrible.
2. The tour guides English was very poor. She was absolutely lovely and tried to be helpful but unfortunately it was very hard to communicate with her. For example, she couldn’t understand my question to answer them and it was very hard to understand her. I have never complained about a language barrier in the past but the gap made it impossible to communicate. We like to hire tour guides to learn from them and we unfortunately weren’t able to from her due to language issues.
3. The bikes for the bike ride are in terrible condition. My bike had only one break working, a rusty gear, and a broken kickstand. Nearly half of the bikes were totally unusable.
I highly recommend going to the places on the tour, but I would use a different company until they get they actually deliver the luxury experience they market.
