Great scenery today in the World heritage attractions of vietnam. A short trip organized well and affordable prices with MrDoan travel host among 17 people. Shared bus was comfy but pickup should be more punctual. Great time anyway
Overall experiences exceeded. Well spent moments and food okay. Could not ask for more... will recommend to other friends when getting a chance. Bravo Ninbing
quality time travelling besties rainy day to do boat rides and check out temples. rich place with history and pride of vietnam
Manish from Malaysia and Singapore to Vietnam first time. Beginning with Ninhbing trip. Food not so satisfied very dry. But program was diverse and fun. Need to have moore time. Guideleading by mr Miky Doang was high experience.
Scenery yesterday was really peaceful and quiet. The boat trip is really the highlight of the day is very smooth and relaxing. It will be much better if they make the soft seats. Cheaper to book the tour compared to Halong day. Duan led us well and clearly throughout the day. Thanks
Ninhbinh, one day was full of events experience tour 16 four every one seems to have a good time. Cycling was definitely one of the most try experiences. definitely will come back and stay longer
The trip had 3 locations inclusive of lunch. Hoa Lu, Trang An and Tam coc. The trip started from Hoa Lu. Our tour guide Doon was very knowledgeable and helpful. He should us around and also shared historical insights about every location which made the trip very interesting. Treks and boat ride were equally beautiful.
The views are amazing while The biking in the rice field village, boating in Sampa boat and going through 4 long caves and climbing the mountains. You need at least 2hrs to go up and down the mountain. The buffet was delicious. We were first to arrive the restaurant and had a wonderful lunch until more people from other tours came and became chaotic. Thanks to Happy for getting us early to the sites first and making our tour a amazing experience.
Highly recommended!! Our guide Bao is very professional and passionate about the tour. He explains the history of Ninh Binh and Vietnam interestingly. We went to all places stated per itinerary and did a guided cycling around Ninh Binh to and fro a destination with different routes. He also did some changes to the schedule to avoid crowd. Buffet lunch was ok, quite nice. The whole trip was pleasant and well executed.
Me and my friends had a private tour of Ninh Binh with a boat ride, lunch included, biking and hiking. Our tour guide, Thao, was so nice and more than helpful. She taught us history about the temples and history of the ancient capital, and made sure everything at lunch was ordered correctly. The tour was absolutely beautiful and we all had the best time, especially on the bike ride. Thank you Thao for a great experience!!!
My 2 friends and I had a wonderful time with our tour guide Thao in Ninh Binh!! We hiked up the steps of the tall tower overlooking the Tam Cok region, boated through rice fields and caves, and biked past rice fields to a temple. It was the most beautiful tour to do and we loved being able to experience the countryside as oppose to Hanoi which is a busy city. Would 100% do it again! Apart from the beautiful sceneries you will experience in the Ninh Binh region, Thao is the most amazing tour guide and brought us to a lovely place for lunch where we were able to experience local foods. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Hanoi, especially those who are looking to experience natural scenery outside of the city.
Great guide,good weather,good bus and good diver too,our guide is great entertainment,joyful and knowledgeable 😊👍
He was very friendly and informative guide. He tries his best to explain the history of Vietnam as clearly as possible. It’s a pleasure having him as my guide for the tour 👍😊👍😊
We went to spend a day with Tommy Thi and seriously it was one of the best days I ever had in my life! I seriously LOVED how energetic he was, happy and he really made my sleepy mood turn over. :) Thanks Tommy! If you go to Hanoi please, have this experience!!!!! 🌈🌅🦋🎈🌏🌿❤️
My girlfriend and I had an amazing time on this trip. We loved Tommy and his infectious laugh and he made the trip easy and relaxing. The boat ride was breathtaking, truly one of the more beautiful places I’ve seen. Thanks!
I knew I only had one day to go to Ninh Binh. So it was a great way to explore the highlights. We were at the last stop very close to sunset would have been great if we were allowed to stay and watch the sunset from such amazing point of view instead of from the car 5 minutes after.
The tour was absolutly great. Everybody musst see the Pagode. The ride on the river ist a must have. Thanks to Tommy a real good guide.
The trip was great. He always take care of us. I cannot forget today's trip. it was just perfect. thank you. :)
Great energy! I really enjoyed his enthusiasm throughout! He has a very kind soul and he genuinely cares about how everyone is doing! Would highly recommend to others!y
just some minor issue. During the cycling session, our tour guide Harry didn’t notice someone haven’t catch up before whole group left.
Thao is an excellent guide and she showed me around many hidden gems in this beautiful landscape. She's gentle, knowledgeable and her English is very fluent. Not only knows everything about the places we visited but also seems to know everyone around here, which as you can imagine comes in very handy. 5 stars for her!
Todas we had an excelent time with our guide, he helped us to understand the culture and history of the places we visited. He was very helpful and made us had the best time in Hanoi, the highlight of the trip was the bosta. Thanks so much
We had so much fun. He is very funny and entertaining. You must go with him! The best trip in vietnam
We book the excursion with this agency and everything was quite organises. The guide was really Nice, polite and professional giving us a lot of very interesting information. The bus driver was a very good one.The excursion was on time as it was scheduled and the places we visit simply amazing. It's a highly recommended excursion with a very professional tour guide. We really enjoyed it. Juan
I was on a business trip in Hanoi. My schedule has changed, I got unexpectedly a free day and took this trip to Ninh Binh. Now I know how lucky I was. Beautiful sceneries, tranquil Trang An, but most of all the guide Thi gave it real spark: talked and explained and sang us Vietnamese songs (good!), jolly and funny. Next time I will plan for this :-)
The tour was great. The bus was very comfortable Our guide Thi was exteamly enthusiastic, he made us have a lot of fun. I’m so glad I ended up taking this tour.
A very excellent place to visit, but avoid sunny days very hot. The Dragan Hill is slightly difficult to claim but stunning pictures you can take. On the way to this hill some interesting photos you can take for memory. Trang An you can go to King Kong movie spot and set.
A great day out of the city seeing the rice fields, mountains and local pergoda. Rain came down heavy but that didn’t dampen the day. Thi (Tommy) was a great guide explaining some of the history and the region. A great day for the family.
This trip was a lot of fun. Our tour guide Tommy was amazing; he was professional, knowledgeable, caring, energetic, and funny! The itinerary was great, although the canoe ride could have been a bit shorter (it was 2 hours, could have been 1 hour). Other than that it was great, the activities were fun and the food was great. In my opinion, Tommy made the tour a one of a kind experience; he helped me take amazing photos at the lookout point!! He is a very passionate tour guide as he went out of his way to connect with every single member of the tour. Thanks very much!
The day was super exciting, especially the visit at the pagoda inside the cave and the river cruise. We saw incredible landscapes. The guide Tommy was very kind, funny and prepared, introducing to me and my small group the history of Vietnam , some curiosities and helping us with photos. I think that the tour is very good if you have not too much time because give you the possibilities to have more different experiences in few hours. Super suggested!
This trip was very good and fun. The boat ride was my favorite part because me and my friends started racing and our guide Mr. Thi made it more enjoyable because he is a very kind and funny guy. He was always asking us questions, telling jokes and always made sure we were happy.
Tommy was one of the best guides I had on our vacation. He was very funny in the van with a lot of jokes. He made the day very fun while we toured Kong Island. While we were rowing in the boat touring, he kept talking with us, making jokes and he made it very interesting. Really recommend him.
Had a great time with Mr.Thi, very down to Earth person, very funny, and had good english. He knew a lot of history and culture, and explained it in a way easy to understand.
The boat trip was very fun for everyone (all ages) We got to paddle by ourselves and stop to take pictures along the way. We also got to see many different gold statues inside the pagoda. Lots of walking involved & it was very hot but it was still a good experience! We enjoyed spending the day with our tour guide, Tommy (Thi). Would recommend him to others looking to do this tour!
Mr THI , our Tour guide for the tour. Well English speaking man. Great service & informative guide. Excellent entertainer too. We went to Trang an very nice and impressive places to visit, I like Trang an very much so much appreciate to our guide Thi thanks you so much
I went to the Halongbay Cruise a few days before my day trip to Trang An, Mua Cave, Hoa Lu, and I am still amazed at the beauty of this place. We have an excellent tour guide that gave us plenty of info on Vietnam and kept us well entertain throughout the trip. The hike up Mua Cave was tough during the hot weather but doable, and the view was very much worth it. Although the food quality was a bit disappointing but overall the trip was excellent
This tour was excellent from beginning to end. Mr Linh (Kevin) was such a wonderful guide. He was so friendly, thoughtful, made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. Transfer to and from was excellent as well, timely and very comfortable bus. Highly recommend!
Had an awesome day!!! Full of activities that were both relaxing and invigorating. Nice views and really nice tour guide. Thi was our tour guide and he was the best. Super accommodating and fun!!!
After Halong Bay, this is our 2nd day, 2nd tour here in Vietnam. This is amazing. Great experience. The food is good as well. Worth the day. Thanks to our good driver and to our very lively guide, Princess Lisa.
The tour guide,Linh, is very friendly and professional. During the tour, she provided very useful information about Hoa Lu, and shared traditional music with the group. I did really enjoy the tour!
My husband and I and our friends, another couple, did a private tour with Hanoi Explore Travel to Ninh Binh province. Ling and our driver greeted us early in the morning and expertly guided us out of the city. We stopped at Mua Caves first, followed by a bike ride through the citadel, lunch and a two hour boat ride at Trang An. We had a great day - scenery was stunning and the lunch was delicious. Ling was very knowledgeable and able to answer our questions. If you are lucky you will even be serenaded by Ling on your drive.
My visit couldn’t be better and was in big measure thanks to our guide and the tourist company. 100 % recommended. Ask for Lisa as guide 👍
Truly grateful for the guide tour Miss Linh and the driver. They have been attentive and take care of us for the whole day, especially Miss Linh, her English is perfect too. The tour itineraries are great with beautiful sceneries and great service. I especially like the Trang An boat trip in this cool weather.
A great tour to spend your day un Ninh Binh. The tour is very well organized. Our tour guide, Linh, is passionate to show us around and is very helpful to all members of the family. We enjoyed the adventure, the history and the scenery a lot. Highly recommended!
Great services by our tour guide Lisa, who shared lotsa information about the places we visited, to make it more meaningful :)
Which is a brutal experience where you have to give 100 percent of your same intense Day where the organization takes a 10. Everything has gone perfectly. We really liked it. Always with Victor there is a quality bonus.
Pünktlichkeit, Preis-Leistung… es hat alles gepasst. War vorher etwas skeptisch. Aber im Endeffekt war es ein toller Tag.
Our trip with Thi. The guide is friendly, pleasant. A place to be beautiful and satisfying..
Good trip with Mr. Thi. The people are very friendly and pleasant. Visited places are good. And the trip isn't too rushing. We are given time to enjoy the journey and also give knowledge of history and stories about the places visited. Mr. Thi, nice to meet you.
