Great day in Nim Binh - Brilliant day out. Loved the fact that there were choices at lots of stops. For example, we booked fir no bikes but we're given the option at the stop which one of us took up. Boat trip at Tam Coc was sensational. Our guide Ruby was fantastic

Trip to Ninh Binh - The tour guide SAM made the trip. Funny dude and had so much knowledge of the tour. The views were insane too which definitely helped. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vietnam.

Ninh Binh trip - This was an amazing trip with an abundance of information our tour guide Sam was very informative and really funny. Every activity was awesome and was a great way to see the country and the views were crazy from the dragon at the top of the hike, not for the faint hearted there are a lot of steps but the view is more than worth the climb.

Tam Coc, Temples, Trang An Landscape, Mua Cave extra charge - The day and activities were dense, the scenery beautiful, the bike ride that I recommend, the guide is very nice and it is quite nice to do it in small group. On the other hand, I had booked for all activities by checking all the options of the excursions on the tickets: Tam’Coc, Trang An complex, the temples of Hoa Lu, Mua Cave AND Bai Dinh Pagoda. Already, I received a message the night before from the claimant to tell me that the Mua cellar was not included and that an additional 750kVdn (for 3) was needed. Moreover, we absolutely did not visit the Pagoda, I do not even know how it would have been accommodated in the already busy day or where it fits.... But these 2 excursions were indicated as included in the price! In any case it is impossible to know where the truth is because the discussions with VIATOR on this have been contradictory BUT do not understand the pagoda option because it is technically impossible to include all these activities in 1 day. To choose between the temple and the pagoda, I would have chosen the 2nd because bigger, more impressive Are things voluntary? This point will have been very unappreciative!

Just okay - The organization of the drop off, pick-up, and stops was poorly coordinated which made the trip last almost two hours longer than needed. The lunch was nice and the guide was friendly but overall I don’t think it was worth the price.
