Great highlight tour with a great guide - Nien was a great guide - very knowledgeable and funny! I learnt so much and feel very satisfied with what I saw and got to do in Ninh Binh. If you can only spare a day to explore Ninh Binh, then I think this tour was well worth it.

Interesting historical tour by foot, boat and bike. - Candy highly knowledgeable and looked after us well. The trip is varied. You have to be prepared for 700 steps which are quite steep. The bike ride is short and flat - pretty safe. It is worth the exercise to see the views and visit historical sites.
