Fantastic, fun and a very memorable day - Fantastic tour, really enjoyable and full of activities, from climbing up the steps to dragon, cycling through rice fields to visit a family and a boat trip to Tam Coc. Bruce Lee as our tour guide made the day for us, very knowledgable and thoughtful. The day ran like clockwork but we were never rushed. I would definitely recommend

Perfect Day Trip! - This was an amazing day trip that I highly recommend to get out of the hustling and bustling of the big city and enjoy the countryside.
First off, it was worth $20 more to pay for an extremely comfortable ride in a small passenger van with A/C. I agonized a bit but I'm so glad I made this choice.
Communication was very easy with our tour guide, Nien. We were staying out of the Old Quarter area and Nien gave us a convenient location to meet the rest of the group.
We stopped midway to use the restroom, get food, and shop for about 25 minutes. During the drive, Nien shared history and culture about Vietnam that was both entertaining and educational.
Thankfully, we hiked in the morning and then took a bike ride to a local farmer's home to see how they live. They shared bananas they grew that were tiny and delicious.
Lunch at a local restaurant was very appetizing and it was fun to get to know the rest of the people in our group of 9.
The boat ride was scenic and extremely peaceful and a nice break from the active morning. We wrapped up our day at a temple which was equally serene and beautiful.
We all agreed we liked the pace of the day, the activities, and our amazing guide!

Village & Nature Sights - Perfect all round trip, the drive up was a decent haul but the both the driver and our tour guide just made the trip so much more enjoyable. You'll get to hear a good deal of funny anecdotes about Vietnamese life from him, while being able to actually see and experience it for yourself.

Ninh Binh Day Tour - A western family of four (with two children aged 11 & 14) went on the Ninh Binh day tour from Hanoi.
We had a private and spacious vehicle to transport us for the day with water provided whenever we needed.
The day consisted of a 500 step hike to the top of the Lying Dragon Mountain, a bicycle ride through the paddy fields and a visit to a local house, a more than ample lunch which also accommodated two picky western children.
We then took a sampan boat on the Ngo Dong river sailing through caves and finished with a visit to the temple of the first Emperor of Vietnam.
Our guide (Qa) was very informative and always on hand to answer any questions.
I would highly recommend anyone visiting Hanoi to contact Qa and arrange a Ninh Binh day tour. Fantastic day with many memories made.

Fantastic - Very well organised and comfortable being on my own. Managed to avoid crowds and timing was perfect. Highlight was the cycling- so peaceful. Lunch was great (even for a fussy eater). Everything was well worth it. Great tour guide. Thanks Nien, loved your humour!
