Ninh Binh tour was so much fun. I was able to see/do a lot in a day. - Great itinerary and value. It can be a bit too tight of a schedule if you’re slow moving but great value nonetheless. A good mix of sightseeing and activities.

A lot for a little - It’s a long way to go to see a temple, be rowed up and down a stretch of river and a view (which we skipped due to time pressure) and then be stuck in a massive traffic jam back into Hanoi. We have used Viator a fair bit over the years; sometimes I feel these tours are a little thin on content and rather high in price. This was one of those occasions. Equally, we felt that our guide seemed intent on getting the whole thing over and done with.

Don’t waste you time - Truly disappointed in this company after seeing so many good reviews. We booked our Ninh Binh tour including Hao Lu-Trang San-Mua Cave. The company must have know that duringTET it is impossible to do these destinations and the activities in one day but still advertised it was such. Our tour guide Pink was also a freelanced contractor for the company (which we found out almost towards the end of tour when we noticed she knew nothing about the itinerary or any history about the places we were going to), and kept on insisting we take away activities to accommodate for traffic. We ended up going to 1 out of the 3 places advertised and had half the activities slashed off our itinerary. The company did nothing to make this right and also charged an extra 1.75million VND for TET. Wouldn’t mind paying for a tour if we had a knowledgeable one but the tour was probably the worse one I’ve been on in Asia.

Don’t waste your time. - Company poorly advertised and managed a tour during TET. Knowing that this was a busy time of year they should have never advertised they could do everything listed on the booking. We ended up at 1 out of 3 places I booked, and half of the activities were slashed out. Our tour guide had no idea about any of the places we went to and for paying this much for a tour, I should have just booked a driver and gone ourselves. We paid a large surcharge for TET and ended up with half of what we paid for. Probably wouldn’t have been so disappointed if they just advertised truthfullly. Don’t waste your time with this company.
