Great time at Ninh Binh - I went for a day trip to Ninh Binh. Two was a great guide and always available in case of questions and clarifications. I reccommend him as a tour guide.

See the sights yourself! Will be less crowded and more enjoyable - Overall, the experience was good. A lot of time wasted waiting on group members. If it was up to me, I would have done Trang an and Mua cave on my own. The tour brings you to everything during peak times, making it very crowded. The buffet lunch was less than to be desired. All the food was lukewarm/cold and the oil they used was potent/ made everything have a weird after taste. Tour guide was friendly, but again, could have easily done the day ourselves and I think would have been more enjoyable overall. For this, I wouldn’t really recommend any tour at all.
