Great experience and excellent guide! - We had a wonderful experience on this unique and relaxing one-day excursion that took us to two fantastic locations. We began our day at the Quang Phu Cau Incense Village, where we learned about the incense manufacturing process and took photos of the vibrant displays of incense sticks. We then traveled to Ninh Binh for a boat ride at Trang An, which lasted 2-3 hours depending on the chosen route. After the boat ride, we enjoyed a delicious buffet-style lunch and made a stop at Hoa Lu. Our tour guide, Martin, was very energetic, knowledgeable, and overall excellent! The trip was exactly as advertised, and I highly recommend it!

Fantastic guide and a wonderful experience! - Awesome experience! We had a wonderful guide, Lucas who was very friendly and shared so much about Vietnamese culture. We loved having the private tour (well worth it). The places we visited were full of beauty and history. Highly Recommend!

Nice experience on the way to Ninh Binh - A lovely 'instagrammable' experience. A tiny village but worth just for the pics. Our guide and drive were lovely as well.

I would avoid it - Awful!!! If I could give minus 5 maybe it would be adequate!!! An hour's drive from Hanoi to find a tourist situation bordering on horrid!!! I strongly advise against committing money and time as it happened to us!!!! Nothing true but all set up to draw money with even an entrance fee... Maybe with the sun.... But I don't know whether to believe it. They want to be paid to even take pictures of a square full of incense...
