We had an absolutely amazing experience exploring Ninh Binh, and a huge part of what made our trip so special was our fantastic guide, Quý! From start to finish, Quý went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Not only was he incredibly friendly, kind, and professional, but his knowledge of Vietnam's history, culture, traditions, and local life was truly impressive. He shared so many fascinating stories and interesting facts that made our visit much more meaningful and memorable. What really stood out was his genuine passion for his country and his enthusiasm for sharing it with us. He made us feel welcome, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the entire trip. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his positive energy and warm personality made the day even more enjoyable. Quý is not just an excellent guide, but also a genuinely wonderful person. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! If you're visiting Ninh Binh, we wholeheartedly recommend Quý. He will turn a beautiful trip into an unforgettable experience! Thank you so much, Quý, for the wonderful memories! 🇻🇳❤️
Quy was an amazing guide!! So good at explaining the itinerary and great at communicating with everyone. Super friendly and helpful with anything we needed!
Quý was an awesome guide, he looked after the group and was great at explaining the history of some of the sites as we visited.
Really good tour, the vehicle had great airconditioner, our tour guide Quy was really good, he was funny and made sure everyone had a good time. Overall really recommend doing this trip!
The guide, Brian Phạm, had a good energy and offered us a great experience overall.
Our guide Qui was fantastic! We had a great day, was full of lots of interesting sights and activities that would have been difficult if we planned it by ourselves. Communication was good. He always made sure our group was together and happy. The 500 steps up to the temple were a killer, but the bike ride was slow paced and easy. Boat ride was enjoyable. Would recommend Qui and his tour to Ninh Binh.
Our guide Quý was fantastic! The tour was amazing
Great day. The climb up the mountain could be hard on a hot day.
Great day! Truong was a fantastic guide, always smiling. Amazing views and memories. Definitely recommend!
Wonderful scenery, a very good guide—always attentive. I highly recommend the excursion.
Qui was an incredible host, attentive, funny and full of positive energy. Great value for money tour would definitely recommend
Qui was an amazing tour guide! We so enjoyed the hike, bike ride, temple visit and boat tour. I would recommend this day trip to anyone, especially with Qui!
Awesome!!!! Thanks for the smooth tour!!! Will definitely do this again with fam!!!! Qui, our guide, is topnotch!!!
If you're on the fence about doing a Ninh Binh day tour to see Hoa Lu, Mua Cave, and Trang An, just book it. Absolutely brilliant value for money. Our guide Trang was top notch, super friendly, genuinely passionate, and unbelievably knowledgeable. She didn't just rattle off facts at Hoa Lu; she actually made the history interesting and kept the whole day moving smoothly without ever feeling rushed. Big shoutout to our driver Dung as well. The traffic and tight roads out there are no joke, but he handled that bus like an absolute pro. Smooth, safe, and got us everywhere right on time. Between climbing Mua Cave and getting out on the water, the whole itinerary was fantastic from start to finish. Massive thanks to Trang and Dung for making it such a great day!
First tour in Vietnam is 5 star! Fantastic day with great experiences! Nothing felt rushed! Loved the bus ride, 500 steps, bike ride, food, temple and bamboo boat ride. Ricky was an excellent, energetic guide! Strongly recommend to see a piece of Vietnam!
A fantastic day out filled with wonder and beauty! Ricky was absolutely fantastic, he was so knowledgeable and delivered all with a charming sense of humour! Would recommend to all
We really enjoyed our trip to Ninh Binh. We felt we had enough time at all the locations and that Ricky explained every part of our trip clearly giving us enough history so we understood what we were seeing. The mixture of hiking, biking and then a boat trip after lunch was brilliant. We highly recommend this trip to anyone with a day to spare!
Ricky is funny and most helpful - I like this trip alot
The experience was truly great from pick up to the end. We saw wonderful nature sceneries, the kayak and the boat in the Ninh Bin rivers at the end were stunning. I also really liked the hike to the top of the dragon mountain. Our guide was Bryan and he was magnificiant. BUT: the early 45 min stop at the silk museum and shops was really not needed and too long (especially when we then had only 1h15 to hike the dragon mountain and back); and the bike ride in the village could be a tad longer than 15 min for a fuller experience.
Wonderful day tour and our tour guide Giang was best. He is informative and kind. The climb to the mountain views is a GREAT workout. I would highly recommend.
The tour was very nice, especially the boat ride in the end was very impressive. Quy was an amazing guide!
Qui was an excellent guide. Really made the tour fun and exciting.
Oh it was so nice and calming🥹 such beautiful surroundings and nature! I also loved out Hyde Quý, he was so funny
Qui was amazing and super fun!! Best tour guide in the world. His English, intelligence, and humor all the best!
Great guide tour, kon was awesome and on time
My wife and I have had an excellent day trip to Ninh Binh. The places we visited were all lovely. The bicycle ride through the small town and rice fields was our favourite. We want make a special mention about our tour guide, Qui. He was great for the entire day. He kept the entire group informed, was very friendly and funny. For us , he personally helped us with resolving a booking error we made, when we got picked up in the morning....and for this we say a big thank you to Qui. Overall we really enjoyed our experience.
Our guide Quy has been amazing. Great communication and explanation. Highly recommend this tour.
Had a great day with Qui as our tour guide. Communication was great, pick up was seamless and the day in Ninh Binh was a lot of fun. The bus was also very comfortable with AC and a charging port. Highlights of the tour were biking and the boat ride with beautiful views. Definitely an experience to remember :)
Mr. Qui was excellent guide , perfect
Ricky was a very good and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.
Great day trip with a fantastic tour guide Lang. , very knowledgeable & helpful. Tour was varied & very informative of history & culture High light was Tam Coc boat trip , extremely memorable… we loved the 1.5 hrs on the river with stunning views of the wonder nature This trip is so worth it
The tour itself was fantastic, but the guide was a little disappointing. These tours require knowledgeable tour guides and unfortunately we did not get that. I would definitely recommend the trip, but hopefully you get a better guide.
It was a good organized day with a very strict planned schedule. The time limit to do the hiking was a bit tight. Ricky our guide was very vivid and driven I loved the bike ride and the food was also okay The boat tour lasted too long
Rick was a very good guide, explain a lot and well organized.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day. The activities were fun and balanced. The bus was extremely comfortable with great WiFi and a delicious lunch was provided. The tour guide was attentive and consistently communicated relevant information. We highly recommend this tour.
The boat portion was the highlight of the tour. Thank you Qui!
An amazing full 12 hour experience with a great guide named Qui. Definitely don’t miss this adventure. Take the crumb to the dragon top seriously especially if it is hot. The bus was like new and very comfortable.
Very nice 1 day trip !!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good experience for the all day
Great tour with Qui, very funny and knowledgeable tour guide.

Amazing tour. Very nice Tour guide, his name is Qui, highly recommended.
Qui was a great tour guide for the day. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Also the bus driver was very safe.
Great tour with an entertaining and well organised guide - thanks Quý! There was plenty of company at all the sites on the itinerary but not much the guide can do about that. Tràng An was absolutely a highlight.
I really enjoyed the activities in this trip! Glad the weather wasn't too hit for the hiking, biking and boat ride. Out tour guide Qui was also brilliant and very efficient - always have a trivia and funny stories to talk about and also guides us nicely and smoothly.
