Had a wonderful experience on today’s trip! Everything was well organised, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Special thanks to Mr. Phuong and Mr. Harry for their excellent hospitality, friendly behaviour, and outstanding support throughout the trip. Highly recommended! Looking forward to travelling with you again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ninh Binh boating experience was a memorable one, had a good time. Our tour guide ' Melody' was quite entertaining and responsible, she explained every minute detail of their culture at the temple, and took good care of everything.
Nga guide was very kind to explain was the amazing history of the two statues inside the temple! Worth the visit
Booked a one day tour to Ninh Binh and it was great! Went well from start to finish. I enjoyed every second of it. Mr. Day was our tour guide and he was very efficient leading our group and made sure nobody was left behind. No problems at all regarding communication either. 10/10 for itenary and time management. I think the duration for each destination was perfect. I get to appreciate the beauty Ninh Binh has to offer. I also think the food offered on the buffet for our lunch was very considerate. They have Vietnamese and also more familiar food options for picky eaters (not me, I took a bite out of everything). I'm really happy this trip happened. Goes down to one of the highlights of my trip to Vietnam.
The experience was nice. Mr day was really helpful.
The tour was amazing and Thuan was a great tour guide and was very funny, knowledgeable and kept a great pace! Would definitely do another tour with him :)
Phuong our tour guide is very nice, informative and really reliable. He make sure that everyone is okay. Phuong is such a really good tour guide
the trip was really fun and our tour guide Mr. Day was so nice
Our tour guide is Phuong. Very hands on.
The whole tour was smooth. Phuong was very kind and professional.
Good experience, great guide and overall good value for a day trip from Hanoi to Ninh Binh
My Ninh Binh day trip was a wonderful experience! The scenery was breathtaking, and the boat ride was my favourite part—a peaceful way to appreciate the stunning landscape. I also enjoyed meeting fellow travellers and making new friends, which made the day even more memorable. A special thank you to our guide, Tomy, who was so energetic, friendly, and patient with everyone. His enthusiasm created such a welcoming atmosphere and made the trip even more enjoyable. I really appreciated his efforts throughout the day. I’m leaving with beautiful memories and would happily recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi!
Phuong did a good job and excellent Tour guide!
This tour is worth your money. Each place was explored with ample time. Our tour guide, Mr. Son, is amazing. He was knowledgeable, helpful, gave the right advice for each destination, and funny! Didn't feel forced to do activities. Driving skills of Joan was also great. Didn't feel nauseous. Make sure that when you book, request for them. The buffet was a plus too!
It was amazing! Our guide Son was impressive and very nice. Kudos to Son and to our driver for this wonderful tour.
If you are planning a trip, do yourself a huge favor and book a tour with Phuong! Phuong is hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the warmth, local knowledge, and energy were top-notch. Phuong made everything feel effortless, took incredible care of us, and shared amazing insights and hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. Everything was organized perfectly, fun, and personalized. If you want an authentic, memorable, and 5-star experience, request Phuong—you won't regret it!
Our guide, Phuong, was very accommodating! We really appreciate the history lesson in Hoa Lu, and his assistance to everyone throughout the day. He also sings very well!! 5 stars for Phuong ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The best day ever. We visited temple , bikes, buffet and boat tour and a hike Excellent lunch, very friendly driver. Mrs Mia tour guide is excellent and gave us very clear instructions, friendly and supportive
The 1 day tour was amazing and seamless. The tour agency does contact us a day before the tour and provide all the details necessary like the pickup point, tour guide contact, itinerary, food menu, tipping info including the Do and Don'ts The pickup was quiet close to the hotel and it also had multiple pickup point along the way in Hanoi. The tour guide from Go Asia travel, Ms. Mia did a really good job guiding us and the driver has pretty good skills navigating. The lunch arrangements were really good as well. The buffet does cater to every kind of cuisine. The admission fees was covered within the booking, so it was hassle free.
We had a great time during the boat ride! The driver aka “Mr Safety” was very skilled, and our tour guide aka “Mia” was knowledgeable and professional. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
It was an excellent experience. Our guide Phoung was professional. The driver was highly skilled. All was going along the plan.
The guide Phuong was exceptional and made everything smooth. Had fun and highly recommend. Food, transport, everything was great.
I went with a small group, and our guide, Phuong was great! He was very enthusiastic, organized, spoke well, made us laugh, and never made us feel too rushed! In the end he even sang us a nice song to remember this experience ☺️ The tour was amazing and I would recommend!!! Great small company, great people and amazing tour spots ☺️🤩👏🏼
The tour highlights was great! Beautiful Ninh Binh boating experience, landscape was gorgeous! Tour guide Mr Son was informative, funny, and helpful.
The tour is perfectly paced if you have short time and doing a 1 day tour . We had a fun filled experience and memorable journey. The bus provided was amazing and luxurious. The food is okish but had a lot of items for veg and non veg folks. There was cycling for a bit. Thang An boat trip was amazing 👏 🤩. The guide Phuong was there throughout and helped us every step of the way . He was ensuing that the tour went on timely. He sang a song at the end to mark the closing of the trip .
This trip was phenomenal. Henry our tour guide was very informative, funny and extremely nice. The locations we went to were beyond worldly. I enjoyed this trip a lot. I would highly recommend.
Awesome experience! Mr. Phong was really helpful and he guided us in such a way that we were able to avoid the crowd. Also the management was really good. Incase I visit again, will definitely book another tour with Mr. Phong. Oh and the driver was a really kind and nice person. - Nikhil & Aishwarya ( India)
We had an absolutely fantastic day tour from Hanoi to Ninh Binh, covering Bai Dinh Pagoda, Trang An and Mua Caves, and the entire experience was truly top-notch from start to finish. The star of the show was undoubtedly our tour guide, Phuong. He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and incredibly attentive throughout the entire day. Phuong did an excellent job of explaining the history and significance of each attraction while keeping the tour fun, relaxed and enjoyable. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was comfortable and having a great time. And to top it all off, Phuong is also a fantastic singer! On our journey back from Ninh Binh to Hanoi, he sang a couple of songs for us, which was such a wonderful and unexpected way to end an already amazing day. It really added a personal touch and made the journey back especially memorable. Everything else about the tour was equally impressive — the driver was excellent, the food was delicious, the itinerary was very well organised, and every attraction was worth visiting. The timing was well managed, with enough time to enjoy each place without feeling rushed. From the moment we were picked up in Hanoi until we returned, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. It was a perfect combination of beautiful scenery, fascinating culture, great food and wonderful hospitality. A huge thank you to Phuong and the entire team for making our Ninh Binh experience so memorable. If you’re visiting Hanoi and considering a day trip to Ninh Binh, I would highly recommend this tour — especially if you’re lucky enough to have Phuong as your guide! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a fantastic Ninh Binh trip, and we would like to give a special thank you to Ahwin from Ninh Binh Gateway and Phuong from Go Asia Travel for making our experience so memorable. Ahwin went above and beyond to make sure everything was well arranged. He actually waited for more than half an hour in front of our hotel just to meet us personally, explain the trip, and make sure we were comfortable with all the arrangements. He was also kind enough to offer to help us with currency exchange, although unfortunately the shops were already closed. His personal attention and willingness to help really stood out to us. Our guide, Phuong from Go Asia Travel, was excellent throughout the day. He was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience enjoyable. We had a great time cycling, boating, and trekking around Ninh Binh, and Phuong kept everyone engaged and comfortable. One of the highlights was when Phuong sang a song on the bus — it was such a fun and unexpected moment, and we really enjoyed it! 🎶 Overall, it was a very well-organized and enjoyable trip. Thank you Ahwin, Phuong, Ninh Binh Gateway, and Go Asia Travel for giving us such a wonderful and memorable experience in Ninh Binh. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for the wonderful Ninh Binh trip! Our whole trip was fantastic, and the boat ride was especially amazing. My kids were so excited and really enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Son Nguyen, was very humble, friendly, and helpful. He gave us excellent guidance throughout the trip and was such a nice person. Thank you for making our day trip so enjoyable and memorable. We had a wonderful time and truly appreciate everything!
Our tour guide Mr Happy Mung was very friendly, helpful, and professional. He/She explained everything clearly and made the whole trip enjoyable. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend the tour!
This is a wonderful tour. The amount of places to see is perfect for the day tour and it feels like we had seen so many Vietnam attractions and the activities are wonderful. Loved the cave tour, the visit to the pagoda.
We had a wonderful day in Ninh Binh, and a big part of it was thanks to our guide Phuong. He was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the whole tour. He explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the experience. The itinerary was beautiful, especially Trang An and Mua Cave, and Phuong made the whole day even more enjoyable with his positive attitude and great sense of humor. Highly recommended Phuong if you’re visiting Ninh Binh! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our tour guide Luca was very good! His explanation was very clear. We enjoyed our trip because of his fun facts! We met several friends as well in the area. There was a misunderstanding in our booking but kudos to Luca he tried his best to resolve the issue. The best tour guide we had in Vietnam so far!
The trip is very well worth it! Advice- don't sit in the back of the bus as the roads are quite bumpy! Thr buffet lunch is absolutely worth it and srinks are very affordable at the venue. The Tam-Coc boatride follows a very scenic route and is just long enough to spare your backside. Do not under estimate the climb at Moa Cave, the ascent is VERY steep and the humidity is a killer - come prepared. The Hanoi beer @ 20k dong a can at the end provided the much needed electrolyte replenishment... The Lotus flower field were also stunning.
Very good , the guide was very good , nice experience
Tour was great! Loved the cycling and climbing the mountain. The food could have been better but was acceptable. But the tour guide Mr Ben was great. He was funny and made the trip entertaining!
Our tour guide Mr Son made sure we had the best time with providing us really good historical information about the sites. He ensured smooth transitions between attractions and made sure we were all happy and comfortable. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ our driver Mr Lam was also very skilled and professional
the tour was well organized, i appreciate the tour guide's positive energy and taking care of us even under the hot weather
We had a great experience during our Ninh Binh tour! Our tour guide Phuong was also so nice and kind, will definitely book again when we come back to Hanoi :)
Thank you to our tour guide Phuong for your patience, and doing a great job handling a group tour from different nationalities. My friends and I enjoyed the tour. I suggest, there will be a different tour for those who don't want to climb the top of Mua Cave Lying Dragon so that there's more time for those who want it.
We booked through Klook and our tour guide was Mr. Ben and our driver was Mr. Lucky. They made the trip very fun, with Mr. Ben's great sense of humor and Mr. Lucky's smooth driving. Mr. Ben was very knowledgeable about all the stops we went to, especially the temple of their previous king. Be sure to ask him questions and you'll learn more! All the entrance fees and buffet food was included in the tour fee so you don't have to worry about that. Our bus was also very cozy, with just the right amount of people. Our favorite was the boat ride! But make sure to have sunscreen!
Son Nguyen has been great with coordination and communication throughout with clear instructions. The vehicle was very comfortable and covered evrything possible in right time within given time of the day
Did the tour with our amazing tourguide mr Ben the man. We got a lot of fun during the trip, specially i enjoyed Trang an very much!
Such a fun experience! My friends and I did a day trip from Hanoi and this was the perfect break from the bustling city. Our guide Tiger was great! Very knowledgeable on the history which made it so rewarding!
The guide was very nice, polite, dedicated to his job. Really appreciated
The trip was amazing, it’s fun but the weather seems too hot for me - summer anyway - might be more comfortable on the other season. Hoa Lu, good for cultural person - appreciate for providing fabric-rent free before entering the temple, Trang An is very good for experience, and MUA CAVE IS NO JOKE, only for adventurous people, even more in the HOT WEATHER! 🥵🥵🥵 The vehicle and lunch buffet is fine, appreciate wifi provider on the restaurant and free-rent bike! The driver “Mr. Richest” is very helpful and kind. But, the highlight will be for the Guide Guy “Mr. Son”, he is helpful, solutive, funny but not cringe, EXCELLENT AND FLUENT IN ENGLISH, thus our communication is seamless. BEST 👍🏻
Ninh Binh is beautiful and worth visiting. Overall itinerary was great and tour guide, Phuong, was very good and kept us entertained. The buffet lunch could have been better though. Hope to visit Hanoi soon.
Our trip to Ninh Binh was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning limestone mountains, peaceful rivers, and beautiful countryside views that exceeded our expectations. A special thanks to our tour guide, Son, who made the experience even more enjoyable. Son was so friendly, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the day. He shared interesting stories and local insights, answered all our questions, and kept the group engaged with his great sense of humor. Overall, Ninh Binh was a worth & memorable experience in Vietnam!
