Great trip and Mr. Day is very good guide
Ninh Binh Tour was a really enjoyable experience. Our tour guide Day was very accommodating. He made sure we were comfortable and that in itself made the trip fun as well. It was tiring but fun! I highly recommend booking with them because you wouldn't regret it.
We had a wonderful trip to Ninh Binh. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and I could truly feel the peace and simplicity of the Vietnamese countryside. David was an excellent tour guide. This tour is definitely worth experiencing
Very good tour with various excursions, guide was very informative and enthusiastic.
It was a great experience. Booked on klook and all entrance fees was covered. So didn’t have to wait in queues for getting tickets. Trip is full day 7 am to 8:30pm. Our guide phuong was great knows fluent english. Food can be improved in terms of variety and taste(no issues with quality though,everything was nice and clean). Best for adventurous people who can sit for almost 2 hours in the boat ride and climb 500 steps in mua cave.
5 stars all the way! Our tour guide Mia was fantastic - extremely responsible, punctual, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire day. Since this was a Seat-In-Coach (SIC) tour with a diverse group of people, her coordination was top-notch. She managed the group with great efficiency, kept everything running in a timely manner, and made sure every single person was well taken care of. Driver Safety was also wonderful - driving very smoothly, safely, and comfortably on the highway. The whole experience was seamless and stress-free from start to finish. If you book this tour, we highly recommend requesting Mia and Safety as your team!
Excellent one day tour, much more than I expected Excellent value for money, lunch and tickets were included. Guide excellent English and a safe driver!!!
The entirety of the experience was truly unforgettable, leaving an indelible mark on my memory. This was primarily due to the truly exceptional and attentive service provided by Mr. Day. His professionalism and dedication elevated what could have been a standard interaction into something remarkably special and highly commendable. Every detail of his service contributed to a genuinely positive and lasting impression.
It was a wonderful experience! Our guide, Mr. Day, did an excellent job managing the trip, and the drive was smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable. Overall, it was a great experience, and we really enjoyed the trip.
My family and I had an amazing time on this Ninh Binh day tour! The whole day was really smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. A big thank you to our incredible guide, Mr. Son.👍He is honestly the best tour guide we’ve had on this entire trip! He knows so much about Ninh Binh and shared so many interesting stories about the history and culture with us. His English is fluent, expressive, clear and his great sense of humor made the whole trip so much fun.😊 All three places we visited—Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An, and hiking up to the top of Mua Cave (Lying Dragon Mountain)—were awesome experiences. Thanks to Mr. Son, we didn't just look at the beautiful views, but we also learned a lot about these places. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ninh Binh, especially with Mr. Son (It’s really our pleasure to spend time with him this time🥹). Thank you so much, Mr. Son, for giving my family such wonderful memories!
Loved the tour so much! The places we visited were definitely must-see spots, and while I understand that many other tours offer similar routes, everything was very well organized and ran smoothly from start to finish. I especially want to highlight our tour guide, Phuong. He was super friendly and really knew how to connect with everyone in the group. He created such a fun and energetic atmosphere throughout the day, and made it easy for everyone to get to know each other and enjoy the experience together. And he’s a good singer too! 😄 Highly recommended!
A happy day well spent and very organised, thank you phuong (our guide) and a very good singer and an entertainer.
Arthur is an exceptional guide! His rich background in Vietnam’s history added so much depth to our tour. He went above and beyond for us at every step—managing delays from side and even coming to our rescue late at night when we thought we’d misplaced a valuable item on the bus. Arthur is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and reliable. We felt completely taken care of throughout our journey!
Our tour guide Phuong was friendly, funny and helpful. He made the tour fun with his strong knowledge and love for Vietnam. The Tráng An boat ride was enjoyable with the towering limestones and structures. Mua Cave was fun but it was pouring with rain, as the weather is unpredictable during August. The most memorable thing was Phuong, he went above and beyond to find our missing hat, along with the help of another tour guide Thuy and the bus driver. Thank you Phuong, and also for your great singing voice!
The tour was good and the travel agency was very accomodating and good service. Phuong our tour guide is excellent in english well recommeded tour guid here in vietnam.
I had a great day the organization was at the top the activities were incredible the landscapes too. The lunch was super good. And I thank the guide Mr Son who was super interesting and nice these explanations were super enriching I recommend him 🙏
Our guide Mia, was beautiful, witty and knowledgeable. She was constantly encouraging us to participate in the activities. Carefully look after our safety and convenience. That made the trip memorable. Cheers Mia. Keep smiling and always be cheerful.
Amazing tour and great experience! Our tour guide Phuong is excellent.
Phuong is the best tour guide and gave us a wonderful day in Ninh Binh! This day tour is a great option from Hanoi!
The whole trip was enjoyable! The whole itinerary was followed on time as well. Mr. Son is a funny tourguide that makes the trip even lighter. He shared valuable historic stories that made us to know the history of vietnam. The people in Ninh Binh are so nice, friendly, and welcoming.
Our trip was really nice! Our tour guide Mr. Son was great throughout the whole tour. He was very helpful and knowledgeable about each destination. Would very much recommend!
My partner and I had an amazing time on this tour! The boat ride was definitely one of the highlights, and although the hike up Hang Múa was quite challenging, it was absolutely worth it. The view from the top was breathtaking. A special thanks to our tour guide, Phương, who was incredibly attentive and made sure no one was left behind throughout the day. He even sang songs on the way back, which made the ride home fun and memorable. The only minor downside was the lunch buffet, as there weren’t many dishes that suited my taste. Other than that, everything was well organized, and we had a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
We had a great time. Our tour guide Phuong was great. He was friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable about the stops on the tour. He made the trip fun and also relaxed at the same time. The timing was planned well and I didn’t feel rushed. I really enjoyed every stop. He did a great job. I’m very pleased with my experience and would recommend this tour and guide to everyone.
Mr. Son was an awesome tour guide, highly informative and great personality. I would definitely recommend any tour with Mr. Son, great day spent
The whole experience was superb and worth every cent. We had initially cancelled our plans to go for the Ninh Binh experience but after some much appreciated convincing from our friends we proceeded. Ninh Binh was simply a great and worthwhile experience and this is coming from a young family or 4 (with a toddler). Really enjoyed Mr Phuong as our guide, he was amazingly accommodative, professional, friendly and really curated a wonderful experience for us. I wish him the very best. If your thinking of Ninh Binh, don't wait just go and experience it.
Amazing trip that I’d recommend for everyone! Such an unique experience far from other ‘known’ tourist locations. It was absolutely beautiful and we loved every second of the day. Our guide, Phuong, was excellent and both very funny and enthusiastic! Please ask for him, if you choose to go on this trip. He provided us with story that the other guides didn’t. Everything even the restroom pauses were great. No pushy sellers or anything but super relaxing. We will definitely be booking this tour again for our extended family! A must see if you are near Ninh Binh!
This trip is valuable with the price. We had wonderful experience, enjoy the view at Hang Mua Cave. The tour guide Arthur he is very nice and enthusiastic.
Experience was great. Specially view from the top of the mountain. Our Guide THUAN ALAN was pretty informed and accommodating.
Phuong was a really good tour guide!
Better in person! Great tour!✨ We booked the full Hoa Lư, Tam Cốc, and Múa Cave day tour with buffet lunch and round-trip transfers from our Hanoi BnB, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The one-hour Tam Cốc boat ride was the standout experience. The views were absolutely stunning and somehow even more beautiful in person than in all the photos and travel ads we’d seen beforehand. Big thanks to our talented guide, Phuong, whose knowledge, stories, and sense of humor kept the day fun and engaging from start to finish. Everything was smooth and well-organized, from pickup to drop-off. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ninh Bình.
Huge shoutout to our tour guide Sir Phương Duy. His suggestions on how we can best get the most out of the tour is deeply appreciated. His words of encouragement when hiking, his joining us to bike around, and his little lovely song at the end of the tour show how much he is passionate on his role as a tour guide. Could not have asked for a better guide. Hats off!
I’ve had such an amazing experience with this trip. Every tourist spot we went to is breathtaking. Our tour guide, Phuong, was very amazing, hands-on, and informative. He kept us updated with the details, provide trivias, and many more. I will definitely recommend him for all the tourists who would like to see Ninh Binh. 10/10!
The best experience in vietnam very friendly tourguide
The tour was very enjoyful and our tour guide, Phuong, was very friendly and funny.
Our tour guide, Phuong is very excellent and very accommodating. We're really happy to have him!
Phuong was a great guide. He had lots of local knowledge and was very entertaining. Pick up/drop off process was easy and communication with the tour group before the date was good. Activites were well spaced and had enough time at each spot. One thing to note is that the lunch isn’t anything too amazing. Just a standard buffet with lots of variety to cater to a lot of people.
It was a very fun trip out tour guide Mr. Son was very fun
We had an amazing experience on our Ninh Binh tour, made even more special by our tour guide, Phuong. From start to finish, Phuong was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of Ninh Binh. The tour was well organized, and we got to enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Trang An, Mua Cave and the ancient temples. Phuong explained everything clearly and shared interesting local stories that made the trip much more meaningful. What stood out most was Phuong’s warm personality and attention to detail. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered all our questions, and helped us take great photos along the way.
We had a really great day with our guide Phuong! He was very friendly and told us a lot of interesting and cool things. He made sure everyone was feeling good at all times and we had a very good time with him. The nature and the activities are very cool and worth the money! We had a great trip!
We had a wonderful experience on our Ninh Binh Day Tour, made even more memorable by our guide, Phuong. He is incredibly honest, friendly, and has a great sense of humor, which kept us engaged throughout the day. The itinerary was well-paced, taking us through beautiful outskirts and scenic countryside that felt peaceful and authentic. Recommend this tour, especially if you have Phuong as your guide—he truly makes the experience special!
I had a really enjoyable one-day trip to Ninhbinh. The scenery was stunning, with limestone and calm water creating a peaceful atmosphere. The itinerary was well-organized, not rushed, and the guide Tiger was friendly and informative. It was a memorable experience that felt relaxing yet fulfilling.
Such a well-organized trip! Our Tour leader Phoong made sure we never had to worry about a thing.
Our Ninh Binh tour was a great experience, made even more enjoyable with the help of our tour guide, Luca. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip. He explained the history and significance of the places we visited in a very engaging way and was always ready to assist whenever we had questions. The tour itself was beautiful and well-organized, and Luca’s positive attitude truly made the day more memorable. Highly recommended!
Great experience. Bring good shoes for the climb. The boat ride is breathtakingly beautiful.
Thanks for Mr. Ben's great tour guide and humor introduction of each visit spot. My family enjoyed a lot and had a wonderful experience.
It was an excellent day spend in Ninh Binh tour, with Mr Ben, the tour guide who showed us and explained very well all the areas! Great!
I have recently returned from a trip to Vietnam and am writing to formally recognize the outstanding service provided by our guide, Mr. Son. Mr. Son was an exceptional asset to our journey. Beyond his professional expertise, his engaging sense of humor and thoughtful wit were greatly appreciated by our group. He had a remarkable ability to lift our spirits with well-timed jokes, effectively alleviating our fatigue after long days of sightseeing. His presence made our visit to Vietnam truly enjoyable, and I would highly recommend his services to other travelers. Please ensure this feedback is shared with him as a token of our gratitude.
It was excellent and enjoyable with family and friends
We did a day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh with Phuong as our guide. It was fantastic! The boat ride and cycling were great highlights of the day. The cave and hike were very cool as well either amazing views at the top. I definitely recommend this day trip!
