A really excellent day out, guide was very good. Worth booking
Our trip was amazing. It was well coordinated and fun. Our tour guide Phuong was knowledgeable and helpful. He even sung a lovely song!
My family had a fantastic Ninh Binh tour! Our tour Phuong was friendly and professional. He arranged everything well. The driver, vehicle, lunch were all good. The highlight was Phuong singing for us after the tour—he has a beautiful voice! It was a lovely surprise and made our family trip even more memorable. Highly recommended! 😊❤️
Very great, and the tour guide is very friendly and helpful
Our Ninh Binh tour with my Mum was truly amazing! Aside from the breathtaking scenery and beautiful places we visited, what made the experience even more special was having such a wonderful tour guide, Phương. Phương is genuinely amazing, funny, friendly, accommodating, and so easy to be around. He made our tour enjoyable with his great sense of humor, interesting stories, and of course, not to mention his nice voice! 😄 Thank you, Phương, for making our Ninh Binh adventure with my Mum such a memorable one. We truly enjoyed every moment! 🇻🇳❤️
It was a nice trip. Tour guide Phoung was friendly and passionate.
Excellent service, Guide was super
Phuong (our tour guide) was the reason for this amazing tour.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! Our tour guide PHUONG TKS was humble, helpful, and very friendly. He covered all the important places and gave us great information about each location. The locations were awesome and the whole tour was well managed. Highly recommended. 😊
Kenny was an awesome guide. His communication was great and always let us know if there was anything we needed to know. We had a wonderful time. It rained on the last excursion of the day but that was out of our control!
Phuong is really an amazing tour guide. He is accommodating & helps us a lot throughout the trip. This tour is not onpy fun but an educational indeed. I'll definitely come back in Vietnam and hope to see Phuong again soon. Thank you for the great experience!
Our tour guide, Phuong, was friendly and incredibly helpful throughout the trip. His excellent knowledge and genuine love for Vietnam made the tour even more enjoyable. The boat ride with the stunning limestone formations was beautiful, and the mountain hike was another unforgettable experience. Phuong did an excellent job at every step, from guiding us to helping us with shopping and everything in between. Thank you so much, Phuong, for making our trip so memorable. We truly appreciate everything you did for us!
We were lucky enough to have Phuong as our tour guide. A very kind and talented person who led us through an amazing day with some of the most breathtaking landscapes we’ve seen in Vietnam 🙂
We had a fantastic tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in a clear and engaging way. He also had a great sense of humor, adding funny comments throughout the tour that made the experience even more enjoyable. We learned a lot, laughed a lot, and had an amazing time. Highly recommended!
It was a large tour group but honestly, it was worth every bit of it! Everything was safe, fast, and well organized, with clear instructions at every stop. I especially appreciated Mr. Ben, our local tour guide, who gave great explanations throughout the trip, from the Trang An Landscape Complex and Tam Coc boat ride to Hoa Lu, which was probably the most fascinating highlight for me. The view from Mua Mountain was absolutely amazing and worth the almost 1,000 steps up and down. Ninh Binh is such a beautiful, lush part of Vietnam. I'd definitely come back and spend a couple of days here next time. Big thanks to Mr. Ben! He's the man! 👏🏽✨
The driver and the Tour Guide Mr. Son is so amazing, so very helpful considering that here in Vietnam few people speaks english well and communication is so difficult, so happy to have them so informative and knowledgeble also thier patience on some guest are stunning.
I enjoyed my trip today at Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang A and Mua. My tour guide Phuong was super knowledgeable and passionate about vietnamese culture and history. And he did his best even tho he was sick today. Extremely helpful guy and even sang for us during the trip. Amazing experience. Highly recommned
Phuong, our tour guide was so pleasant. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Ninh Binh and provided us with great information. He kept us on a great schedule. Provided us with lots of smiles and comfort. It was a great trip

We had a great time in Ninh Binh. The place is very beautiful. Mr. Son, our tour guide is very good in explaining the history of the place and is punctual, friendly and patient to us. Hanggang sa muli, Vietnam!
Mr. Son is so nice, best guide!
Highly recommended tour from Hanoi! Our best tour guide is Mr. Son and he is brilliant with what he does (very knowleageable and his English is excellent)! We were thrilled with the history of Vietnam unfolded within our eyes through Mr. Son's expert history of Vietnam, with such charm and humor that kept us alive and not asleep all throughout our journey! Thank you for our wonderful experience in Ninh Bin (Hua Lu, Tam Coc and Mua Cave day) which is the best day out we had! Thank you to our very safe driver too! I will be back with my husband and kids to let them enjoy Vietnam too! 😍😍😍
The tour was absolutely amazing got to see all the best highlights of Ninh Binh and our tour guide Phuong was the best! Very informative made us feel welcome and was good for a laugh.
Phuong is the best, very friendly and very accomodating, he even sing songs, I can say that he really loves what he is doing and I'm happy that he was the guide assigned to us! Hope to tour again with him.
The weather is so hot. Most of the people opted out to climb Hai Lu. Maybe next time do it early in the morning. Kudos to Tu he is such an awesome tour guide.
Our tour guide Phoung was great touring us around! He is super friendly and approachable! The weather though was very hot and humid, but I had a great time knowing the history of Vietnam, boating in Trang An and passing under the caves. It's a once in a lifetime experience and you shouldn't miss it!
Very happy with the tour, quite long and tiring but enjoyable. Our guide, Mr. Phuong was very enthusiastic and explained the culture in detail. He was also very accommodating of the group.
Our tour guide Minh was excellent, we enjoyed the whole tour. Each destination was in the right duration. Learned alot!
We had a great time. Our Tour Guide, Melody is very kind and able to share the history of all the places we visited. She’s very approachable and she find ways in our problem to not be late in our next destination. The driver drives well for us the passengers not to feel dizzy. Thanks to everyone.
What a great tour! Ninh binh is so magical and feels like in another world. Thanks to Phuong who is a very good tour guide, excellent service, friendly and the most important is good english so we understand what was he saying all the time yay
Mr Son was a super guide today. And the excellent driver Han was very experienced. Really enjoyed the amazing adventure and sights.
Was an excellent tour full of activities which help you fully enjoy Ninh Binh’s beauty and other experiences offered. It was very peaceful and relaxing to sail on the canoe through the mountain pass on the river, where you get to fully soak in the nature and landscape and the 800 steps to the dragon will reward you with a breathtaking view of Ninh Binh and the city of Hanoi. Van was also an awesome tour guide with extensive local knowledge as well as being well versed in the history of the places you visit, also a very friendly and welcoming person who speaks English well which caters to all international travellers. Well done Van!
Our day trip to Ninh Binh was so enjoyable and memorable thanks to our tour guide, Mr. Phuong, who made our journey very easy and comfortable.
Phuong and our driver Mr. Nguyen were both excellent and a pleasure to have as our tour guides! We spent the whole day enjoying Ninh Binh, riding bicycles, boating, hiking, visiting temple and buffet lunch. Phuong was very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.
We had an amazing tour of Nin Binh today hosted by our tour guide Phuong! He was very charismati, knowledgeable, passionate about his country and personable with everyone. He had good control of the crowd and information about the sites we visited. He was adorned bt everyone for his efforts and his company should r proud of him. It was a very fun full day tour and surprisingly good. The buffet was also surprisingly good. Great tour.
Our tour guide Mr Son has done his job so well
The overall experience was great especially the boat ride at Trang An. Our guide Arthur was helpful and speaks good English. He even helped one of the guests in our bus who left the phone at our last stop. However one drawback was the driver, 3 times we almost had an accident; my friends and saw it coz we were sitting in front. We couldn't wait to het off the bus honestly.
Arthur was really friendly and professional he knew the history of Ninh binh very well. Would definitely recommend!!
It was an amazing day with an amazing tour guide, Phuong. He is so nice and takes care of everyone. The highlight of the tour for me is the Trang An boat, feels like you’re in a postcard.
