Best tour organization and stunning place - Best organized tour I’ve been on in Vietnam. Nice variety of activities throughout the day, good food at lunch with a lot of options to choose from, comfortable bus with wifi and usb port to charge your phone. But most of all, Happy was the best guide I’ve met so far: knowledgeable, caring and fun to be around. Needless to say, the landscape and views were stunning (and not that similar to Ha Long bay as I had thought: if you’ve been to the bay and are wondering whether to visit Ninh Binh as well or not, go for it, you won’t regret it).

Wonderful and amazing experience with 1 day trip to Ninh Binh - I had an amazing time in my 1 day trip to Ninh Binh. I thought it might be hectic schedule but this 1 day trip was nicely organized - the sequence of the visits to spot was carefully designed so that tourist do not feel tired or any kind of inconvenience.
Our tour guide named Mr. Happy was very nice, kind, smart and knowledgeable. He attended my intricate queries as well. His English was good. We felt very comfortable and got all enriching information about tourist spots.
I would certainly recommend this 1 day trip.

Fantastic trip and great tour guide! - I was recommended Leon by two friends of mine and this tour in particular. Ninh Binh has been on my list since I arrived in Hanoi just over two months ago and he was not only knowledgeable but a great tour guide who properly looked after his tour throughout the day. Two particular highlights for me were the bicycle tour around the rice fields and local villages and also the hike up to see the Hang Mua Cave which was nearly 500 steps. It’s worth it honestly, the view is incredible and the eco village you must walk through to get to the steps is worth staying at after as there are the cutest tree houses and view of the lily pad fields in front with lots of swings for epic Instagram photos!! Leon was a great tour guide with a fantastic sense of humour that had the whole tour laughing all day! If you’re looking for an authentic tour with all the best bits of Ninh Binh thrown in pick this tour, you won’t regret it 💗 see you soon for those beers, Leon and thanks again! Laura (Beth) xox

Our tour guide, Leon he is very friendly and knowledgeable about the places in Hoa Lu-Tam Coc. He gave lots of interesting information and made the trip very enjoyable. Is really a pleasant and memorable place. Thanks to Vietnam Top.
