Fantastic tour with a great variety of activities. Our tour guide Sunny was informative and kept us laughing. Would highly recommend this tour!
Sunny was the best!! We had such a great time and we learned so much about the history of Viet Nam while also having fun. Sunny was truly a highlight of our trip and what a jam packed day it was! Hiking up to a dragon, cycling through the beautiful streets, seeing a historical temple and going on a beautiful boat ride! I’m not sure what more you could possibly want in a tour. (And lunch was great!)
We joined the day trip after booking it through GetYourGuide with 2 of my friends. Ninh Binh is a must see experience for everyone visiting Vietnam, and it has some of the most outstanding natural views I’ve ever seen in my life so far. We were also extremely lucky to have Sunny as our tour guide, who made the whole experience fun, educational, and enjoyable. 10/10! ☀️
Sunny is a fantastic guide! Funny, charming, engaging and knowledgeable. The hike up the mountain was tough for this sweaty Canadian but the views were absolutely worth it. Highly recommend this tour.
Amazing day with Sunny ! It was a fairytale
The bike ride was really lovely going through the village, guide provided interesting historical information and the boat ride was a great way to end the visit!
Sonny was a fantastic guide. Very kind, considerate, and knowledgable. He made the entire experience feel truly special for our family and added so much substance beyond what we would get if we tried to do this day trip on our own. Communication before the tour and during was top notch. Pickup was smooth and curated to everyone's needs. The tour bus was clean, spacious, and comfortable with an excellent driver. The only thing I would include is that the biking part isn't suitable for young children. We were travelling with our children (8 and 10 years old) and while there was a smaller bike available it would've been a challenge to have them ride it safely as it was still slightly too large and no helmets are provided. We opted to have lunch early while the rest of the group went for the ride. Not a problem at all, but something to note for other families wondering about this aspect of the tour. 9.9/10 we would highly recommend Sonny and this tour to anyone wanting to visit Ninh Binh for a day.
Did a day tour in Ninh Binh. It was great experience and knowing the details of its history. Few activities incl bike and boat which was excellent. Our tour guide was Sonny. He is very helpful and knowledgeable about the history. Excellent service by Sonny. Fully recommended to those who are thinking to visit this city and not knowing what to do. These guys know how to treat you well in that city. 👏
Sonny the guide was phenomenal he was polite and communicated well
Our Guide Jun was very helpful, professional & friendly. She explained the important details clearly & with humour. We will dainty be recommending her to our friends.
Amazing trip with Adorable guide Jun :) The instructions during the trip were very clear and concise. Well organized - sightseeing-break ratio was perfect The lunch provided is a buffet, the food was very enjoyable. Fully recommend.
Our tour guide Jun was fantastic and the day was well-planned and went smoothly. Highly recommended the experience!
Our guide June was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience a lot of fun. I would highly recommend her as a guide for anyone wanting to go to Ninh Binh.
Duke was phenomenal! Great tour guide and very friendly. Was a very hot day but he made sure we were hydrated and enjoying every stop.
The tour leader was great, funny and informative. Very organized and made sure we were all having a good time. The places we went were gorgeous, especially the paddle boat tour and the lotus lake garden.
A fun trip including biking and hiking, sunny is extremely knowledgeable and funny. Thankfully we got good weather and could click a lot of pictures. Highlight was boat trip through multiple caves and lowlight was the food. I would highly recommend taking the Ninh Binh tour package if staying in Hanoi.
Amazing experience.. Jun was a great tour host and she knew exactly what she’s doing. Handled us really well. If you are doing Ninh Binh, you better do it with Jun.
Jun was an incredible guide—he kept us right on schedule while keeping everyone entertained with his great sense of humor. The entire day was seamlessly planned and completely worth it. A huge shoutout to the team for arranging delicious halal food for my friend and me, which made the experience so convenient. Highly recommended!
June was a wonderful tour guide and had such great humour which made the tour so enjoyable. We enjoyed each activity and the lunch buffet was good.
We had a wonderful time visiting Ninh binh on a day trip! Sunny was our guide and was funny, and knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. Only wish was that we had a little more time at the hiking area, there seemed to be a lot to do there and a little more time there would’ve been great!
Was very busy and interesting excursion! Our guide Sunny was very kind professional and thought us a little of Vietnam history, it was interesting listening to him I would with no doubt recommend to book this excursion .
Following a disappointing trip to Ha Long Bay, I was hoping for more from this tour......not so built up, smaller group, closer to nature. And I got what I hoped. Only 18 in the group in a luxury coach, a very amusing, informative and articulate host (Sunny aka Vu), and cycling and boat trip. I'd have liked a longer bike ride but it was very nice to bowl along under my own steam . Buffet lunch was substantial and varied. Going along to the hike up the hills with 500 steps was challenging in the heat but the views were spectacular. All in all, well worth going on this trip and if you get Sunny, you'll be laughing as well. Mike
Thank you for the experience! Beautiful locations & Sunny took care of us well
If you want an unforgettable escape from Hanoi's busy streets, this Ninh Binh day tour is an absolute must-do. It beautifully balances active adventure, breathtaking landscapes, and peaceful countryside culture.
Beautiful scenery with a little bit of everything. Hiking, biking, a leisurely boat ride all surrounded by natural beauty. Our guide, Sunny was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about Vietnamese history and culture. Transport by bus was top notch.
This is was a great touring experience and our guide was able to answer all of our questions. It seemed a tiny bit rushed in order to stay on schedule, but that also allowed us to stay ahead of the larger tour groups. The boat trip was definitely the highlight.
Sunny was a great guide. He looked after us and educated us, and ensured our day went smoothly. It was beautiful and fun!
Experience was very good. Timetable was fast.
This was a wonderful experience, did lot of activities from visiting temple to boating to hiking. Our tour guide Sunny was amazing, so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. It is a well paced tour, I highly recommend who looking for 1 day tour of ninh Binh.
Went out of there way to pick me up from my hotel and then it was just all upwards from there. Sunny was fantastic and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour.

Sunny for the king! Love the trip - we had perfect amount of time everywhere, no one rush us which is very common on this kind of trips, and we loved the bike ride - very local, very unique.
With our engaging and informative guide, Sunnie, we traveled to Ninh Binh as a school group. The bike ride provided great scenery and enjoyment, and the trek and boat experiences were both incredible experiences for students and teachers alike. Will do again, will use provider again!
Fun Brilliantly organised Fabulous tour guide Highly recommend
Great tour! Sunny is very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very organised. We enjoyed our time in the tour!
Sunny has done the day. He shared a lot of interesting information about Viet nam, Hanoi, its history, culture and language. He always provided detailed instructions on what to do or not that were really essentials. All experiences are great. Biking, visiting temple and king palace, relaxing on a boat in Tam Coc and hiking. I appreciated the food too. Remember to bring money for tips, the boat driver deserve it!
Sunny was an amazing guide. Very helpful. Great personality this tour was fantastic and highly recommend it
