It was a very good experience . The tour was organised very well and everything was on schedule. All the admissions were free already included but make sure you choose with electric car as the walk is very long and tiresome . It took us 2 hours to get there and had a good amount of time in there didn’t feel rushed and the 2 hours boating was very calming peaceful and serene. Our guide Thomas was very educated and so friendly and patient which is always a plus who took time out to get to know everyone personally even thought the group was very varied in languages. We had about 15 people in the group but didn’t feel like too much bus was very comfortable and Thomas kept us all together.Best for a quick day trip from Hanoi to ninh binh to do the trang an and immerse in the culture of the temples. Once again thank you we had a great trip and book with your tour again

Great experience, wonderful trip organized by Alice, would recommend for anyone staying in Hanoi and looking to explore the nearby areas.
The team from SST Travel, guides Reymond and driver, for our tour, were very informative and helpful to all the participants on the trip to Trang An & Bai Dinh, HangMua! All 3 locations highlighted the beauty and diversity of this region of Vietnam. I would highly recommend this tour for the adventurous AKIHIDE.
This trip was absolutely amazing! Khanh and my tour guide Robin made sure everyone was happy and comfortable. We even got a bottle of water at the start. Even though its a long day, there is a lot of variety in activities. And if you get tired, its okay to sit some of the climbs out. Be aware that the boatrip is a 2hrs sit in a slightly uncomfortable position so you do get a little back pain, but the view is so worth it! Thank you Khanh and Robin for the unforgettable day!
Quang was an exceptional tour leader—graceful, courteous, and highly professional. Throughout the journey, he put great effort into providing thoughtful and detailed explanations. The entire trip felt completely stress-free. With his calm, seemingly effortless approach, everything was carried out smoothly and right on schedule. When unexpected situations arose, he handled them with composure and without any sign of panic. His emotional control was truly impressive. I believe he is an outstanding tour leader.
Good family private tour. Love it.
The whole tour was great. I love the buffet lunch, the food are yummy specially the goat stew and fried spring rolls. The boat ride is a bit long but its okey. The tour guide is very helpful.
What a wonderful and well structured tour. Minh was a lovely guide and we got to cover all the highlights of Ninh Binh in a day. Would highly recommend this tour :)
I enjoyed my tour and our guide Kate was informative and kind. In the morning, she guided us to tell us where to meet the bus. She looked out for all the guests and we had an amazing bike ride. I wish we had more time at each place, give more history during the bus ride at the destinations. It was raining and she got us ponchos which was really nice. I loved the Trang a boat ride and it was a great experience. The views were amazing.
The old capital is wonderful, the sampan experience between mountains and rice fields is superb, the lunch is delicious and varied
If you’re lucky enough to get Le Linh as your guide, congratulations , your day is already guaranteed to be great. While Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex is absolutely stunning, what really made the experience unforgettable was Le Linh. Her energy, humour, and knowledge turned a beautiful tour into an amazing one. She somehow managed to keep everyone organised, laughing, and learning interesting things about the area all at the same time. Le Linh has that rare talent of making a whole group of strangers feel like friends by the end of the day. From start to finish she was warm, funny, and incredibly passionate about what she does. Trang An may be the destination, but Le Linh is the reason the day was so memorable. If every guide was like her, tours would never feel like tours just great adventures with a brilliant host.
Thank you Elbiee operator for a very fun day! Max was a great host, very funny and informative. Long day trip but stopped about 1hr out of Hanoi at rest stop and bus was very luxurious, usb plug to charge devices, reclinable chairs and good air con. Bike ride with lunch was a nice touch explore independently for those that wanted to. Lots of vegetarian and meat options with lunch. Some important information about bathrooms, water etc could have been communicated before we left the stop instead of after but overall it was well run and organised. Our tour had lots of nationalities, kids, people with limited mobility and Max did a great job taking care of everyone’s needs.
I enjoyed so much.Nice tour!Nice guide,Blue-san.Nice driver.Nice member.and Nice ELBIEE OPERATOR. Thank you!
We had such a great time with this day tour company to Ninh Binh. The guide was funny yet very professional, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. The bus was comfortable and the driving was smooth. The itinerary was very full, from morning until evening. Trang An is a beautiful UNESCO site. We chose Route 2, which is the fastest option, and I think that was the right choice because the boat ride can feel quite long since you stay on the boat the whole time. Next time, we’d love to try the Tam Coc boat ride. We would definitely come back here and choose the same company again. Overall, it was a really great experience. 😊
Micky very help full, highly recommend, he responded quickly, fix up any problems, make sure we’re happy & safety, we’re happy with Mikey
The guide was funnn! Had buffet, sceneries were good. Great people to meet during the daytrip tour. Lots of walking tho haha
Very nice and charmy I got delay on my flight but the grandted to change the schedule for next day ...that's amazing experiance for ppls who got force majeur in a trip....Im so appreciated
We thoroughly enjoyed this day tour! The itinerary covering Hoa Lu, Mua Cave, and Trang An was well-paced and hit all the highlights of the region. The scenery is truly breathtaking The buffet felt low quality .
Nice To having a tour with u, the staff and the tour guide will guide u really great. The view the tips and the smile for us is great
The best part of my Vietnam trip !! Everything is exactly as mentioned in the itinerary, the guide Mr.Duc was super fun and entertaining and he might have been one of the highlights of the day tour as well. He explained everything well too about the history of the ancient capital and always with a funny twist! Trang An is a must do it was 2 hrs on the bamboo boats and the rower ladies kept up the pace throughout . But the real highlight was Hang Mua. The 500 steps aren't that hard if u keep your pace and at the end of it u will realise that it was all worth it. It might be the best view I've ever seen in my entire life !!!
ELBIEE OPERATOR for Hoa Lu - Trang An - Mua Caves Standard Day Tour From Hanoi Tour guide T.A. and assistant Hoang very good, knowledgeable and friendly. We felt well taken care and no issue with the package. Met a lot of tourists in our group from other parts of the world. Guide has good organization with safety in mind Hopefully next time can pick up at other hotels such as Sheraton Hanoi hotel etc. The pickup point at Opera House a bit messy with many other tours picking up guest but Elbiee contacted us and provided tour guide contact and picture of bus and bus number so not difficult to locate each other. Good job, Elbiee and T.A. and Hoang. HIghly recommend them Overall 10/10 for this affordable package
The boat ride was fantastic and that alone earns 5 stars. The 500 steps I had to pass on for health reasons but my son found it to be one of the most breathtaking views he has ever had. Now the bad... the Mua caves was underwhelming. The bicycle ride should have been great but the bikes were in terrible disrepair. If you are over 170cm the unmovable seat is probably too low to allow for pedalling without discomfort. A few have broken chains... most had dramatically under inflated tyres. Most seriously the brakes didn't work. No callipers on the rear and worn smooth pad on the front that didn't work. Absolute safety hazard. I had to swing wide around 2 large trucks and back to the right after they passed me on the inside. I had NO WORKING BRAKES. This must be fixed.
It was a really amazing experience. The view was worth it despite the tiring amount of stairs to climb. I also liked the boat ride. Although longer than I thought, it gave a very peaceful vibe. Our tour guide Linh was very accommodating. She answered all our questions and gave us fun facts about the history of the area. Must try daytrip when you are in Hanoi especially when you love being around nature.
We booked last minute (a day before). The transportation is on time. The tour guide is very helpful & proficient toward the group. His english is understandable and clear instructions 👍🏻 the tour overall is fun and exciting 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Smooth experience, I have been connected with Elibee operator that facilitate everything. Happy to see Trang An and would love to get back to Hanoi with other places to explore.
Very good tour with 3 outstanding stops. We liked Tranh An the most. Our guide was super kind and gave us several good advices during the trip and for Hanoi!
Great full day tour with amazing sights. Our tour guide Katie was very engaging, easy to understand and gave an excellent tour with many options catered to all needs.
Excellent trip, one should definitely take this trip with their family. It's once in a lifetime experience. Tour guide is very helpful and knowledgable.
The trip is very good, i enjoy every activities with also the help of tour guide, especially when you can take pictures in the beautiful scenery and also riding in peaceful boat ride. Arranged by Elbiee Operator
今回一人で参加しましたが、ツアーガイドのLinhさんがとても優しく、そして楽しく接して頂き本当にこのツアーを楽しむことが出来ました! Linhさんは、ツアー参加者一人一人に積極的に話しかけたり、参加者の写真を撮ったりするなどして、ツアー参加者を誰1人置いてけぼりにしてない感じがとても良かったです。今回日本人は私1人でしたが、色んな国籍の方と話せたり、ベトナムの綺麗な景色を見れて良かったです。 このツアーオススメです! I joined this tour alone, but our guide Linh was so kind and cheerful that I truly enjoyed the whole experience! Linh made sure to engage with every participant, talking to us individually and even helping to take photos, so no one ever felt left out. I was the only Japanese person this time, but I really enjoyed meeting people from different countries and seeing the beautiful scenery of Vietnam. I highly recommend this tour!
Trang An river cruise was so nice. The scenery from the boat was amazing. The 500 steps of Mua cave was so hard and dangerous to get to the top of the hill in August. The tour guide was so nice and friendly, he explained many of the history of Vietnam and their lives.
Booking efficiently, I booked the tour 1 day before the beginning, but everything works well. There is a traffic restriction due to the festival in Hanoi, but the tourguide solves the problem well.
The trip was great. I learned a lot and the places we visited is just amazing. The tour guide did an amazing job in guiding us on the trip. I had a great experience. Will surely recommend it to my friends
Ninh Binh Full Day Tour to Hoa Lu Trang An Mua Cave Small Group! Unforgettable tour with an Amazing guide(Denny). The itinerary was very well planned and so we managed to see everything and learn about the vietnamese history and culture!
a person came to our hotel to pick us up and we walked over to main street where bus pick us. our guide was knowledgeable and passionate. we enjoyed the sights of the 3 areas. the timing was just right, not too rushed. Mua Cave requires some climbing and an alternative site was offered to those who doesn't want to climb. overall an enjoyable experience
Booked from ELBIEE OPERATOR The tour is warmly accomodating, especially to the elderly who were offered alternatives to the activities. Our group comprised of adventure seekers and senior citizens so no one felt left out. The convenient pick up and drop off with buffet inclusion helped considering the nature of the activities. Lunch was delicious and offered a variety of local dishes. It was a fun bunch, and not to mention our tour guide, Linh was very enthusiastic during the tour. It's like an old friend showing us around. I especially appreciated the options for my parents who just preferred drinking tra than hiking to the Lying Dragon. Highly recommended for a hassle free yet fun and fully packed tour. Ninh Binh is picturesque and we got to see the best views just within a day thanks to this package. Will definitely check out their other packages next time we're in Vietnam!
I had a wonderful experience. The itinerary was well-planned and allowed us to explore beautiful natural scenery and cultural sites at a comfortable pace. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. Transportation was smooth and everything was very organized. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. I would highly recommend your tours to anyone looking to explore Vietnam in a meaningful way. Thank you for a great experience! #ELBIEE OPERATOR
The boat ride at Trang An was amazing, our tour guide Duc was super friendly and Gen-Z like us, a very hardworking man who is passionate in sharing the history of Ninh Binh to us! We enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend booking this tour!
We booked the night before and they immediately contacted us to make sure pick up dirrection was correct and to give us information about the tour. Our guide T.A was on time and he aways made sure we were okay and we never felt rushed. he really made the trip really enjoyable. We had so much fun, and we even got back earlier than we thought. I really reccomend this tour!!
Great activities 👍 bike tour fun and sunset lovely on the mountains, tour guide Harry very nice and knowledgeable, boat ride relaxing
the mua cave hike was the highlight! it was awesome. boat ride was cool too. guide was super nice. tour could have been a bit more timely - example: don’t need 1.15 hours for lunch. overall really good experience! bus was super comfy too.
ELBIEEさんの素晴らしいトークとガイド、スムーズな動きで、効率良く回れました。 チャンアンの洞窟を竹のボートで進む景色は素晴らしかったです。 I was able to go around efficiently with ELBIEE's wonderful talk, guide, and smooth movement. The view of going through the cave in Changan in a bamboo boat was wonderful.
Awesome tour, scenic route and well organised got to see a lot of the Ninh binh area. Thomas was a great tour guide very knowledgeable and very friendly. Would recommend.
Elbiee was an amazing tour guide! My husband and I wanted to go on a tour where we learned a lot of interesting facts and Elbiee was amazing for that. He always stopped and gave us a lot of information that was easy to understand and he always was willing to answer all our questions! The trip was very smooth, we felt like we had enough time and every stop without feeling rushed. Overall an amazing tour but even more amazing of a tour guide!
It's a wonderful trip in Vietnam (ELBIEE)If you want to a vacation ,hurry up ,come and join the trip
The tour is amazing. Ninh Binh is so beautiful and highly recommended this tour. Elbiee has been great in coordinating the pick up time and location for us, Tuan was our guide for the day and he was good and kind to drop us at the restaurant in Hanoi.
The tour was fun. The view of every attraction was breathtaking, our guide Linhwas so patient and consideratewith evey guest in our tour. Even the foods in the buffet were good. 👍🏻
