Authentic Travel made it Happen - I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Ninh Binh Travell Explore, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our trip unforgettable. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the breathtaking beauty of Ninh Binh. Both the 'Travel Guide An' and the Driver were excellent

Dream come true - This tour was for me a long awaited dream and this company with they ECCELENT tour guide did it for me. I booked it months in advance and they were very responsive, communicative, and reasonably priced. My guide An, came on time to pick me up from the hotel and was very helpful with everything. Took the time to tell me about history and explained everything. Speaks good English and very pleasant to be around. I highly recommend this trip. and one more thing.... ask for the Guide An.

Tour organiser and Andy tour guide - thank you - We took 9 caves on boat. The area was amazing, I have never see anything like this in my life, if you are nature person, you definitely have to come here in Ninh Binh. What is more, our guide Andy, he easily become the best guide: attentive, excellent English, amazing photograph skill… he went beyond and above his duty and made the whole day worry free and engaged. Definitely recommend Andy The food arranged for us was pure vegetarian as we do not eat meat or red meat, and no fish, no eggs and and An saw to it that we have the meals as per our taste and curry, and so that was also a great part which made our journey for the entire day, very comfortable After visiting the entire caves, we were so relaxed. We were in fact supercharged in the evening. We were not tired at all and ready to hang out more at night, so it’s nicely managed for us with great communication skills.

Great adventure Vietnam - It was an amazing experience climbing the mountain up to the dragon, riding a bicycle through old town, eating authentic lunch at a restaurant and cruising down the river on a paddle boat under caves. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on all aspects which delivered an overall enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Best Hanoi Adventure - The experience was magical. We started the trip with a nice ride in luxury to the mountain to climb and see the views from the top. Our guide was amazing and very knowledgable. From the mountain climb we did some bike riding through the old village before a delicious authentic Vietnamese meal. After this we went on a cruising boat ride down the river under caves and ended with some pictures and even a piece of artwork! We recommend this adventure to everyone!!!

Ninh Binh - We had a fantastic day visiting Ninh Binh I only rate 4/5 as we visited Mua cave when the lotus flowers weren’t in bloom so we couldn’t appreciate that in its glory but the views from the top of the mountain are spectacular though be safe as there are some slippery rocks on the steps, and I would only recommend doing this climb if you have a reasonable level of fitness. The bike ride to the pagoda would have been my favourite part of the day we stopped along the way for a cold coconut and chat with our guide about the rice fields. Our guide Dean was very nice and went the extra mile for my partner who wanted a custom piece of artwork that he spotted in a closed shop- Dean got onto the artist and arranged for us to meet the artist so she could explain her work and we could make the purchase 😊 we finished the day on the boat tour through Trang An - you need to see for yourself how beautiful that is! all in all a great day and I would recommend this tour

Consider Something Else!! - Poor because the guide did not have alternative activities set up for us, as due to the Tet holiday some attractions were closed. Crowds at the gift shop and boat ride were overwhelming, which made the heat feel even worse.
