Wow it was so good! - a two day excursion to ninh binh is a highlight of our trip. the second day was perhaps even more beautiful than the first day. we visited the jungle which was completely covered in butterflies. the travel organization was helpful, quick to reach but also extremely friendly. during the excursion they were present in the background to answer questions. That was so nice, because then you didn't have to worry for a moment.

Great trip! Brilliant guide! - We really enjoyed our trip and our guide was brilliant! Efficient pick up & drop off at our hotel and we enjoyed our bike ride to the ancient city. We loved the boat trip - our skipper rowed with her feet and was great at taking photos! The hike up the 500 steps was hard in the heat but worth it for the amazing views from the top. Our homestay was fab with lovely food and a cool clean room and a karaoke!! The next day we visited the primate rescue centre which was interesting, we hiked in the jungle and found loads of bugs! The cave of primitive man was amazing too. A very good trip and recommend it highly.

Great tour with stunning locations - This tour was great fun! Everything was very well organised and our guide Leo was lovely and full of all the information you needed. Lots of historical facts and detailed stories. The locations were interesting and beautiful, with good variations of adventure such as cycling, hiking up (many) steps and a boat ride...it had everything! The boat trip in particular was stunning, and the hike was definitely worth it for the amazing views!! Our Homestay at Little Riverside Bungalows was delightful and just what was needed after a busy active day. We are SO glad we stayed the night instead of going back to Hanoi right away. Nice pool and a scenic dinner out by the river bank (the food was amazing!). The owners were wonderful people and we had a great night here! Day 2: the primate sanctuary was interesting to see and inspiring to see the good, hard work these people do. The hike on this day was very humid and in much more dense jungle so I would recommend a light top. Sadly it was not a round route hike, just one way and then back the same route but it was nice nonetheless. We then got to see a prehistoric cave which was also fascinating. We then met up with the bus again later on and it all went smoothly back to Hanoi. Like I said, very organised. And we even had time for a swim after this hike on day 2 to cool down as well, bliss! Lovely people and lovely places. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience! - That was amazing experience in Ninh Binh – a very beautiful place with a rural life. We will never forget the moments & great feeling here with Hien & team. They were all so helpful in getting us beginners comfortable with the cycling trip through the villages & trekking in the forest. We absolutely satisfied & highly recommend this company & services to everyone!

Great tour with Cuc phuong national park - We had a short trek on the second morning in Cuc Phuong national park but interesting. Tran made the trek so much more enjoyable & he is one of the best guides. The accommodation at Bungalow was very good with excellent shower facilities. We could see exactly what rural life was like.
