Trip to Ninh bin - Our trip to Ninh Bình was a wonderful experience filled with history, nature, and adventure. The day started with a visit to the Imperial City, where we were immersed in the rich cultural heritage of the region. The architecture and stories were fascinating, making it a great way to begin our journey. We then climbed up to the Mua Cave, where the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. The effort to reach the summit was well worth it for the panoramic views alone. Afterward, we enjoyed a peaceful bike ride through the countryside, which gave us a chance to see the rural side of Vietnam up close, surrounded by lush green landscapes. The highlight of the day was the canoe ride through the serene waterways, all while our guide, Tam, provided insightful commentary and shared his deep knowledge of the area. Tam was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and really added a lot to our experience. The tour was well organized, with comfortable transportation in a small bus, and thoughtful touches like providing raincoats, umbrellas, and headcaps for sun protection. However, it’s worth noting that while food was included, drinks were not, which we had to purchase separately. One downside was the cost. Initially, we were quoted around €150for the couple (€75 per person), but after rescheduling due to missing our original time, we ended up paying €190. While the day was undoubtedly enjoyable, considering the general cost of things in Vietnam, the final price felt a bit high. Overall, it was a day well spent, but the cost might be something to keep in mind for future travelers.

Ninh Binh private style - Great one day “private” tour with business class style van. After some time in Vietnam i would say Ninh Binh is the best tour to do ( if you have to pick one ). Beautifull surroundings and hike were greatly mannaged by our guide Thang. Thang has very good english speach and told us a lot on the history while bringing jou by his enthousiastic and happy behaviour. We really enjoyed the day

Flexible tour guide and superb experience - Our tourguide was Thang. Due to unexpected circumstances, we only could join the tour as of lunch. Thang was the perfect guide and arranged everything so we could join the tour s smooth as possible. He knew a lot of details about the local people and the spots we visited.

Ninh Binh tour Hanoi with Aloha travel!! - Excellent one day tour organised by aloha Vietnam travel and guide. The way Mr. VU explained everything about each place, the culture, Vietnamese history with so much of passion always kept us high throughout the trip. Food which was served during the lunch had so much variety in it and each dish was explained to us by Mr. Vu. We covered Ninh Binh one full day and had loads fun trekking, boating, cycling across country side. Last but not least the coach and the driver was so clean, luxurious and safe to travel. Thanks to Aloha team.

Day tour from Hanoi - Great tour would recommend! Got to see beautiful views from atop the dragon mountain at Mua caves. Visited a local family to see what life consist of for a farming family. Had a variety of foods for lunch which were delicious. Then paddled through some long caves with some amazing views. I do feel like one day would be enough to experience everything. Tour guide was Nam and he was amazing 🙌🏻
