Private tour on dragon boat to tombs and temples - Tom, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Vietnamese history. He made the tour very interesting and answered all of our questions. From collection to drop off everything was seamless, would definitely recommend.

Fun and educational - Anna was an excellent guide. She spent more time with us at each stop than she needed to in order to give us a full history lesson. Riding along the river was a nice way to get to certain points without having to take a car. All stops were beautiful especially the last one at Khai Dinh’s mausoleum was especially exquisite. Again, Anna was amazing and a good sport despite us dragging her out to tour us in the blistering heat!

Informative, fun, and relaxing - Anna made our experience unforgettable and thoroughly explained everything above and beyond! She spoke so well even in the extreme hot weather so we can have a good time.

Exciting, educational and eye opening - We had a lovely and enthusiastic guide called Austin. He was great at filling us in on all the local history. We loved his more personal anecdotes about the Emperor’s eunuchs and ‘fairy’ behind the Hon Chen Temple. We also very much enjoyed the dragon boat ride along the perfume river that took us to the temple and Pagoda. Even the rainy weather couldn’t put a dampener on our experience.

Nice combination with boat to visit the imperial tombs. - Nice combination with boat to visit the imperial tombs. It had been a very nice trip. Our guide Anna was very friendly, helpful and explained everything to us in detail . It was nice to see the landscape from the river. We visited the pagoda, a temple and 2 imperial tombs. Very worth seeing and impressive. The driver of the very neat vehicle had also been very friendly. At the end there was a stop at a souvenir shop where the craft of incense making was shown with high prices for tourists. Despite the rainy season a worthwhile 5 hour private excursion

A wonderful day tour in Ninh Binh - Our guide, Anna, was very nice and knowledgeable. She took us to three sites. The first one, Dragon Mountain, was one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen. The boat tour was also a wonderful experience. The meal was great and in a beautiful place by the river. On the whole, it was a great day, and Anna's professionalism made it perfect. We highly recommend taking the tour.

Most enjoyable. - Austin was our guide for our day on the Dragon Boat Tour. Austin knew the answer to all our questions and has a great sense of humor, so it was a relaxed fun day with many beautiful sights. The driver we had was also a very kind and friendly man. Our hotel was not on the list of pickup points, but they picked us up there anyway, which was very convenient for us. All in all a very nice day.

Catch tourists. - The perfect catch tourist unworthy of Vietnam. Prices at the head of the customer, plastic seats, and nothing particularly remarkable to see.
