Day trip to Ninh Binh from Hanoi - Amazing experience and trip to Ninh Binh, QA was a great tour guide. He was extremely informative and helpful throughout the whole day, he ensured we had all the info needed for each destination and also ensured we had enough time to explore each destination and activity. The lunch stop was extremely good too- QA made sure that the restaurant catered to everyone’s allergies too. I would definitely recommend

Mua cave - It was really fun we do a lot of things, first we went to the Mua cave and go on the top of the mountains we did 500 steps it was a lot but the view was beautiful. After we took a bicycle and visiting a farm of local people. We had a delicious lunch and took a boat to see the mountain and the cave. And we finish with a vost of a temple. It was a beautiful day ! Thank you 🙂

Great day trip. - Great day trip, Nien was a fun guide with great humour and commentary.
The views from the top were amazing and well worth the climb. Glad it wasn't the hot season! The boat ride was also very scenic and relaxing.
The lunch was delicious and more than anyone could eat.

Perfect trip - Very well organiser day trip excursion to Ninh Binh. Excellent and very friendly english speaking guide providing all needed information to each site visited including the general information. A driver drove safely rhrough partly difficult traffic conditions! For me, it was a top day excursion I like to reccommend it to all Vietnam visitors (fantasstic boat riding through the unbeliveably beautiful landscape and the visit of many temples).

Bruce Lee! - A very full day but worth every minute of it.
Bruce Lee was our guide. He msg me the night before to confirm the time of pick up. He got there earlier than I expected and was already waiting for us at the hotel lobby.
There were 5 of us and our group picked up another 4 others.
Van- super comfortable for all 9 of us. Plenty of room for much more items as some of us brought bags and back packs for the day’s outing.
Driver - got us safely and comfortably to all of our stops. He was there waiting as we enjoyed the sights and sounds and had the AC blasting when we returned to the car.
Binh Ninh was more than I expected. It was just beautiful
Tam Coc’s river boat ride was out of this world.
Bruce Lee was the perfect guide. He made sure we’re safe and enjoyed ourselves. There was water, umbrella, a full lunch spread, seating pad for the boat ride. He provided so much information and history that we all appreciated. He was attentive to each of us. Some of the ppl going to dragon mountain hike needed some help and he was right there to help them up and down. Enjoyed the tour even more because of him.
Recommend this tour.
