Fun tour with Quang Quack! Highly recommend - I had a fantastic and fun experience for 2 days touring trip with Quang Quack in Ninh Binh/Tam Coc. It was eye opening for me to explore a Vietnamese culture and history that Quang presented. Quang was very professional and skillful for his job. He was extremely patient with me as I am a slow biker. He’s friendly, patient and helpful with my whole trip. I highly recommend Quang Quack to my friends and family if they plan a trip to Ninh Binh/Tam Coc, Vietnam.

Fun with Louis in Nihn Bìhn - We traveled with Louis on a semi-custom itinerary for two days in Tam Coc and overnight on a Unicharm cruise to Lan Ha Bay. The private tour by Louis to Nihn Bìhn/Tam Coc was jam-packed with fun. We started at the ancient capital of Vietnam, then climbed the stairs at Mua Cave before a bountiful lunch at Tam Coc Memory Restaurant. The boat ride through the limestone karsts around sunset was memorable, with cranes landing in blooming lotus for their evening roost. All this time, Louis kept the schedule flexible and engaging for our 8 year old. We enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend.

Day trip to Ninh Binh - Had a great experience with Quang Quack as our guide. Lots of activities and sightseeing. The highlight was the biking tour and the river tour. Thankfully he took us to somewhere with less tourists which we enjoyed!
