What travellers are saying
- Dream426622703161 contributionDetailed history of the area, nice and challenging trek up the 500 stairs, good lunch, serene boat ride through the river and the caves, and fun bike ride around the neighborhood. Thank you ThangWritten 25 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Charles LingoPerth, Australia81 contributionsLet me start off with a solid 10 out of 10 and full props to the operator and most of all, our tour guide Victor for facilitating an incredible experience in Ninh Binh that my girlfriend and I will never forget.
From the moment of booking, both the operator and tour guide Victor contacted us via WhatsApp to confirm our booking, pick up location and pick up time. The following day, Victor and the driver Hoa were punctual to the time they specified.
After collecting all the passengers, Victor gave us an outline of the day along with a free history lesson about our destinations. Not only was he knowledgeable but also very charismatic and hilarious with a dry sense of humour. He kept us engaged all throughout the bus ride and never skipped a beat which made the 2 hour bus ride so much more tolerable.
Our first activity was a 30-45 minute bike ride which took us through the countryside and the local village which was so enlightening and gave us a great insight into Ninh Binh's rich history. The views were so scenic we made multiple stops for photo opportunities.
Our second stop was the temple in Hoa Lu where Victor gave us another history lesson with a game of thrones analogy. If you get Victor as a tour guide this will make complete sense in the end. The temple itself was grand and peaceful and rich in history. It was amazing to see most historical artefacts still intact.
Lunch was a buffet style and definitely palatable. The goat was something else though, as they breed them differently here the taste was so much better. Drinks aren't included in your costs so be prepared to pay for drinks.
Next stop was a 1.5 hour small rowboat ride around Tam Coc and this was one of the most scenic rides you'll ever experience. It was absolutely majestic and I kid you not, coming out of one of the caves, it felt like entering a whole new world and I half expected to see King Kong or dinosaurs to come roaring out with the iconic theme song playing. Be prepared for paparazzi boats as they will ambush you trying to take photos of you and then sell you them at the end of the trip. Be advised that they will charge you anywhere from 300 to 600k for photos. My advice is if you don't want to get them done, look away from them and don't give them an opportunity. Your boatperson will also expect a tip from you and they generally back this up by trying to talk to you and take photos of you and generally trying to make the best experience for you. Do it, it's worth it. Minimum tip is 25k for one person and maximum is 100k for one person. Double it if you are a couple. Anymore and any less they'll either be super sad or super greedy.
Our last stop was Hang Mua climbing up to the top of the mountain, all 500 steps of pure incline so be prepared with water and maybe a second shirt. 500 steps don't seem like much but the incline will give you something to think about. You'll hit a fork somewhere in the middle with the right side going to a smaller peak with the city view and easier to climb and the left a higher steeper climb but with the river view which is definitely better. If you take the left side and decide to go higher to the summit, be careful as there are no safety rails, only poles and chains which, if you slip and with the overcrowding, you've got a good chance of meeting your maker - be prepared. The view though, is second to none.
The whole trip took about 12 hours from pickup to drop off so come full of energy and definitely come prepared with good knees.
Thank you Victor and Hoa, you made our experience one of the best we've ever had in Vietnam.Written 25 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TraceVDLMelbourne, Australia53 contributionsThis day trip was a great way to see the highlights of Ninh Binh. We had plenty of time at each destination, with spare time for coffee or ice cream. The day never felt rushed. Our guide Kevin was fantastic - knowledgeable, patient and very funny. He went out of his way to get to know everyone in the group. Lunch was great too. The boat trip was the highlight of the day. The scenery is stunning. We chose route 3 which included the 1km cave and it was absolutely breathtaking. Definitely one of the best things we have done - highly recommended.

- taicool1 contributionAwesome tour! I found this comprehensive tour that not only covers both Ninh Bình and Halong Bay but also high quality.
All tour guide not only speak English fluently but also very fluent in Vietnamese culture and professional.

Minh is so professional at his job, makes you learn a lot about his culture and about this place. Would totally recommend!Written 14 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- John Clyde OmalayDavao City, Philippines5 contributionsCan't thank Tony enough for his wonderful work to make our day special. Our trip could not be as good without him. The food, vehicle was terrific. The most valuable day tour ever.
Just a little note that entry fees were not included and people needed to prepare cash to give the tour guide when started. This could be a challenge as it is in local VND.Written 25 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Yolanda C13 contributionsWe had a wonderful trip, funny and professional guide

Would really recommendWritten 24 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - JoshLondon, UK40 contributionsWhile it’s possible to book this tour independently, it is definitely easier and better value to book as a package. It was such a pleasure to sit back and enjoy the itinerary created by local experts for a few days. Highly recommended!
I decided to extent my time in Nimh Binh and it was no problem at all. Use the advantage of having a package to shape to your itinerary :)Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - GIDracoCambuslang, UK337 contributionsExcellent way to see the sights of rural Vietnam.
The pick up was a bit crazy, I must admit. I was told to walk to a point about 5mins from my hotel, and then with no preconception, a guy with a scooter told me to hop on and he'd take me to the bus! When he gave me a helmet, I thought, "I guess I have no choice..." but the man was friendly safe and a good driver. You're lucky I was on the moped for a total of 5mins. Otherwise, the bus journey throughout the day was very pleasant, safe, cool and smooth.
Our guide, "Tiger", was excellent, no complaints. Special highlights of this tour were the bike ride and the canoe around the mountains - a must! Even if you're like me and don't enjoy bike riding, the experience is brilliant. Not too keen on religious sights so the temple was rather boring for me, but still good to learn a bit of history. The hill climb most definitely worth it at the end of the tour too.
Lunch was adequate but the toilet at this stop is filthy so be prepared.
Overall, an excellent tour and amazing value for money.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Another highlight as well would be the selection of vegetarian and vegan food in the lunch break.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sarah M5 contributionsOur tour guide Harry was so funny and knowledgable, and a great singer! We loved this tour, was so fantastic although I recommend going to the three caves in spring or summer when the greenery is best- we were so happy either way and got to see some incredible views. Thank you! Food was great with plenty of vegetarian options and everything went smoothly.Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
