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.

Half a Day Trip Visit of Pagodas and Tombs - Austin has been an amazing guide: gentle, attentive, patient and very knowledgeable. He explained to us a lot of details about Vietnamese culture and Buddhism religion, and history about the places we visited. All very well organized. Definitely recommended!

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