Excellent day trip to Hoa Lu and Tam Coc - We have booked a private tour for 2 persons to visit Tam Coc and HoaLu with Ninh Binh Tours Hanoi.
The booking process (incl. all clarifications via tel and chat) has occured via Whatsapp very easily.
We were contacted via whatsapp the evening before the tour (in our case the evening of the booking day) by our guide Mr. Cuong Lucky and picked up timely at our hotel on 7am the next day as planned.
We were advised to start our tour early to avoid the rush hour of the tourist crowd at arrival and on lunch time, which was indeed quite optimal.
The tour was excellent.
Our guide Cuong Lucky was very competent and has explained in details the history of the ancient capital Hoa Lu. He also took the time to take nice photos for us.
We have visited 2 temples built to venerate the former kings who founded and ruled the ancient Vietnam.
Then we were brought to a nice local restaurant for lunch to have typical regional meals.
After the lunch, we visited the very nice Bich Dong temple, before going to a spectacular boat tour on the Tam Coc river.
We were in every respects very happy with our guide and also with our driver Mr. Hung.
We have spent a very smooth, comfortable and pleasant day thanks to the team (guide & driver) of Ninh Binh Tours Hanoi agency.
We highly recommend this agency for visitors looking for a serious and professional local tours operator.

5/5 Tour !!! :) - I had an absolutely amazing day with the Ninh Binh tour! From start to finish, the entire experience was so well-organized. We explored breathtaking rice fields, took a serene boat ride on the river, and hiked up the Lion Dragon Mountain for an unforgettable view. I want to give a huge shout-out to Elen from sales, her entire team, our wonderful guide Alex, and also David at the reception desk. Elen was especially incredible—when I lost my laptop on the bus that morning, she and her team kept in touch with the bus company and even met me in Hanoi to help me get it back. The service was truly above and beyond. I can't recommend this tour enough—amazing sights, fantastic team, and they really go the extra mile. Just book it!

Fantastic Day in Ninh Binh! - I participated in a full-day Ninh Binh activity, and it was an incredible experience! Our guide, Alex, was a very kind young man who helped us throughout the entire day and led the group perfectly.
The tour was well-structured and consisted of three main programs. Everything went smoothly, and we visited some truly stunning locations—it was a very rich and fulfilling itinerary!
A special thanks to Helen, who was extremely helpful in assisting us to choose the right tour for our needs. She was so kind and supportive.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a day full of diverse activities in Ninh Binh!

Tony the best guide - So me and my friends booked a tour for Ninh Binh a day before, and personally I didn’t expect much from this experience especially because we booked so late; but our guy Tony changed all of this: kindness, knowledge and patience are only some of the hundred words that can describe him! He is a pro in what he does and is willing to respond at any question you may have, he is always one step ahead and has a very deep love for his job, you can feel it from the start.
After this experience, I can only be grateful for meeting Tony, considering him a friend, because that’s how he makes you feel!

Tony best guide, tour with Tam Coc - The tour was incredible, the guide (Tony) and the driver arrived directly in front of our hotel and took us to Ninh Binh, we visited hoa lu and then we hiked Mua cave with an amazing view, then we ate very good Vietnamese food. After lunch we did a little tour with bikes and in conclusion we did the tour with the boat in Tam Coc, I really recommend this tour with Tam Coc for less people and more nature and landscapes.
Tony was the best guide, he explained to us all the things of every place and answered all of our questions, you can see that he loves his job and his passion for this place is contagious. Thank you Tony for this amazing experience!!

BEST TOUR- ASK FOR TONY- BEST GUIDE IN VIETNAM - Tony was such a great guide, in my opinion is the best in Vietnam. Such a great guy and so proud of his roots (he was born in Ninh Binh!!!!!)
He advice us to do the rowing boat specifically in Tam Coc and it turns out it was the best idea ever. Less people+ more nature= PERFECT EXPERIENCE.
We understood thanks to Tony a lot about the culture of the ancient Vietnam, we did a great hiking in Mua Cave and Tony was one on the only guide that came up the mountain with his customer. He is very friendly, careful and full of knowledge.
We had lunch in a great restaurant and we ate local food that was amazing.
After we went to a secret place Tony knows with a 15 minutes cycle and it was stunning. We were the only tourist there thanks to Tony.
Then we went on the rowing boat and Tony makes the queue disappear thank to his networking.
This tour was amazing all thanks to Tony
THANK YOU TONY YOU ARE REALLY THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic time in Tam Coc - It was our first family vacation in Vietnam and we were lucky to have Tony as a guide . Not only is he funny and very nice , he really knows well the different cities we visited . He spent time explaining historical and cultural details , making the visits really interesting. If you want to have a fantastic experience with the best tour guide ever , do not hesitate to go on this one. I am definitely planning on coming back and will go again. Tam Coc is a beautiful place to visit . There are less tourists than Halong Bay so this makes the experience really pleasant. So please , do no hesitate to choose this tour , it’s definitely the best one!
