Unforgettable day tour of Ninh Binh - Had a wonderful day tour of Ninh Binh with Tracy. We covered the Bai Dinh Pagoda, Hoa Lu Ancient Capital, Trang A Boat Ride and Mua caves. Tracy was absolutely amazing and left no stone unturned to cater to the needs of the group. We highly recommend a full day guided tour with Tracy for a holistic experience of Ninh Binh.

Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! - Thank you Dung for a wonderful day. Everything was organised perfectly. Pick up and drop off from our homestay, great explanation of everything in English with answers to every question. The boat trip followed the path that all the reviews I read said was the best one, the details of what the pagoda and the old capital was about were terrific, the 500 steps to the dragon mountain were hard, but totally worth the sweat. If you have ever seen a photo of Ninh Bihn province on google, trip advisor etc, it was probably from here. Absolutely iconic!! Dung (or Zoom) goes out of his way to make sure he remembers everybody’s name and includes everybody in his tour. He is such a good tour guide. Happy, funny and informative. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Thankyou so much Dung!!

Highly recommend! - We thoroughly enjoyed our full-day guided tour with Thuy/Tracey 🤩🇻🇳 She picked the perfect moments to visit each site so we avoided the worst crowds. We didn’t expect to have such a through explanation (as we had booked the tour via our hotel) and thus very happy to hear the history behind each site, general trivia about Vietnam and very interesting insights about Buddhism. We had asked our hotel if we could take route 2 in Tra Nang but we felt very reassured about Tracey’s choice of route (number 3) which lasted a good 2 hours. Our absolute fav was the final stop (Bai Ding pagoda) thanks to Tracey’s great knowledge about the site and about Buddhism overall 🪷 Thanks for a wonderful day together and making our one day in Ninh Binh a great memory!

Good tour which visits key places in the area - This is a good full day tour which visits key sites in the area - Bich Dong Pagoda , Mua Caves, Hoa Lu Citadel and the Trang A boat trip. Highlights were the views from the top at Mua Cave (500 steps are hard work, especially if it’s busy) and the boat trip (although 2.5 hours is a long time on the river).
We would have given this a higher rating but our guide was nowhere near as good as the ones we have had on all our other tours in Vietnam. That said, it’s a very good way to see all the important sites in the area (except for the Bai Dinh Pagoda and which you should visit
