I booked a private 1-day tour with Chookies. I wanted to do a different route, including the bear sanctuary & I was coming from another city so not starting from Hanoi. They arranged different transport and a personal tour. I was in a traffic jam and they were very flexible about the organization of the tour. I visited the bear sanctuary (I really recommend this) right after lunch. Chookies arranged this planning, because the bears are very active then, playing and eating. After, I did the Tam Coc river boat tour (1,5h). The guide told me the Trang An river tour was way longer (3-4h) and I actually liked the Tam Coc tour very much, it's perfect if you're only in Ninh Bin for the day. The bus back to Hanoi was a very comfortable limousine car.
My tour guide was Van, who prepared a delicious (western) lunch. He knew EVERYTHING about the region and told me so much. He was the best English-speaking guide I've had in the whole of Vietnam (2 months of traveling). Really recommend Chookies!

We learned about the existence of Chookies travel thanks to meetings we had in Ninh Binh. Everything was perfect. We had Quan as our guide, who was just perfect. We did Sunset Valley, Hang Mua and the ancient capital of Hoa Lu. Quan took us on small paths away from the tourists, and took us to Sunset Valley and Hang Mua outside of rush hour, we were alone with a breathtaking view. He also told us very well the history of the ancient capital of Hoa lu. We loved the excursion so much that we also did the morning at the farm the next day, again with Quan. I recommend without hesitation this agency, endowed with unparalleled professionalism. Thank you for introducing us to authentic Vietnam, and thank you Quan for his kindness and his know-how. We will come back !!!

I was able to arrange a customized, last minute half day tour in Ninh Binh thanks to Chookie’s travel! It started around 12:30/1 and ended at 6:15pm. We visited 3 sites (Mua Cave, Bich Dong, and Tam Coc) which was the right amount of sites without feeling rushed. I was interested in going on a motorbike but not driving one myself, so this was a perfect solution. The staff was very responsive. Only downside is my driver didn’t speak much English, so couldn’t explain much, but he was very kind and tried.

This tour was my favorite part of our trip to Vietnam so far. The tour service was great, and our tour guide was super friendly/a pleasure to hang out with all day. The food was amazing. The Trang an landscape is breathtaking, and definitely worth visiting- i recommend going with chookies!

My wife and I had a private tour around Trang An and Tam Coc with lunch included. It was great value and Bob was an excellent guide. I would highly recommend using them if in Ninh Binh.

Just came back from a wonderful private tour to Tam Coc, Linh Binh Province! Our tour guide was fantastic, the driver as well! We could enjoy the beautiful scenery in this area! It was completely relaxed! Big recommendation for the day trip! Thanks!

Had a wonderful one-day tour arranged via Chookie’s, seeing the highlights of Tam Coc from boat, on foot and from a bike. Our guide spoke very good english and explained *everything* that we asked, or that there is to know about Nin Binh, its surroundings, Vietnam, the Buddhist temples/pagodes, etc. Except for the climb to the viewpoint, it was also very relaxing ;-). Not the cheapest, but by far the best tour/guide that we’ve had!

Incredible, very well thought through experience run by locals. Enjoyed a scenic boat tour before the rest of the crowds appeared, followed by a tour of the temple, lunch at a restaurant (included in the price and you can pick from a big selection. We were so full!!) And then cycled up to the pagoda and went to a local house where we made our own chopsticks. And we were back at the hotel by 6! Plus they sent us pictures of us that they took. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we felt like we could ask him anything about the area/country/sites. Very very impressed and would recommend to anyone visiting the area. 10/10 experience

We arranged a three-day/ two-night trek in Pu Luong National Park through Chookies Travel and were very impressed. The journey, guides, accommodation, food and content of the trip was very good. We were also able to adapt the trip according to our interests (visiting Ho Citadel on the way). Highly recommended!

I had planned a day to Ninh Binh, we wanted to go to Traung An and Mua Cave which is not a comment route for tour so it's very expensive, then I found Chookie's website and decided to rent a motorbike ourselves and arrange our own transport.
Van was extremely helpful on everything, with few long emails making sure we are traveling at the right time and place. We just took the private mini van instead of bus from Hanoi and dropped off right in front of Chookie's Cafe where we pick up our motorbike then it's all good to go!
Ninh Binh is very easy to bike around, small area :) (with google map)
Thanks again and definitely recommend to those who wanna travel around in Ninh Binh!
