We did the Ninh Binh full-day tour from Hanoi to Hoa Lu, Tam Coc, and Mua Cave, and it was absolutely fantastic! From the get-go, communication was spot on, we were picked up right on time and everything ran smoothly throughout the day. The itinerary was action-packed but well-paced, with a great mix of sightseeing, cycling, and a memorable boat ride through Tam Coc. Lunch was provided and had something for everyone as well as being delicious, and our guide Sunny was historically knowledgeable, funny, and kept everyone entertained. For any Aussies visiting the region, this tour is an absolute must!

It's a nice activity. Worthy you have a free day in hanoi. The coolest part is the bike around the temple. It was a rainy day and we could do everything Our guide Sunny was a great storyteller, specially about the dynasties, kings and emperors. The lunch is delicious!!! Good bus with wifi, water and usb charger The boat trip is nice, quite long to be honest. And kind pressure to give tips... The dragon is nice, worthy go to the top of the mountain. Nice view.

Our Ninh Binh trip guided by Bob was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, he was warm, funny, and knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting stories about the local culture and history, making every stop more meaningful. The itinerary was perfectly planned

A full day, the rainy weather reduced the fun factor, but the tour guide Sunny was very supportive and shared good information on Vietnam.

The weather wasn't great, but I think I can speak for the whole tour group that we had a BLAST. Loi was an excellent guide, funny, insightful and flexible. I'm usually not a big fan of group tours, but I have to make an exception here. Everyone bonded on the 12-hour trip.

Has a wonderful day with our guide (Sunny) and our small group. Our morning pickup was on time and the transportation was comfortable (with excellent Wifi included). The activities were diverse and interesting, and our buffet lunch (included) was tasty. It was an excellent way to learn more about Vietnam and its culture - and Sunny ensured there were no surprises. Without reservation, I recommend this activity as a part of the Hanoi experience!
