Amazing tour thanks to our guide Alex - Alex was truly the best tour guide we could have asked for! His deep knowledge, great sense of humor, and engaging storytelling made every moment of the experience both educational and entertaining. From start to finish, he kept the group energized and captivated, ensuring that we got the most out of every stop along the way. The tour itself was an incredible deep dive into Vietnamese culture, packed with exciting activities that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the local traditions, sights, and flavors. The absolute highlight was the breathtaking boat tour—an unforgettable experience that perfectly captured the beauty and charm of Vietnam. And of course, a huge shoutout to our amazing driver, Lucky, whose smooth and skillful driving made the journey even more enjoyable!

It was very fulfilling. A day in Vietnam - It was such a great tour.
We were able to enjoy the beauty of Ninh Binh all day long with so many activities.
It was also a very interesting experience to hear about the history of the former capital.

Ninh Binh with cycle tour and boat ride - Great experience exploring caves in a boat with a cycle tour although the main road was a bit scary. Plenty of steps up to the dragon to get the heart pumping. Fantastic scenery. Coach pick up was prompt and very clean and Mr Anh our guide kept us informed all the way, he was great. Well worth a day out

Excellent experience - Nam was excellent guide! He was very generous, unique and warm hearted.
500 steps of climbing was a challenge but superb view.
Cycling to ancient town took me to childhood. Boating let me relax.
Over all, I definitely recommend this tour!

Quang was a great tour... - Quang was a great tour guide. Nice, patient, funny, tried his best to accommodate what everyone needed. I was picked up from my hotel by a motorbike and was shuttled to the bus. The bus had about 15 people and the other guests smelled very bad. I had to spend the whole day with their disgusting smells. Ninh Binh was great but I wish we spent less time at the palaces and more time in nature. The bike ride was great and I wish it went longer. The boat ride was amazing, I recommend paying more for a private boat. The lunch was absolutely horrible, do not waste your stomach eating this. The buffet room was cramped with all the tourists eating at the same time. The room was extremely hot and they overcharge for beverages. Grab food at the adjacent coffee shop for an infinitely better meal. The bus was a little rocky, but decent leather seats.
