One day Ninh Bihn Tour with Nien
We had a great time with Nien. Very friendly and showed us around the entire place. Definitely recommend them for a Nin Bihn tour
Good experience for this trip
Really enjoyed our experience! In particular our guide bob was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and kind.👍👍👍
Cut corners, low value
As others have mentioned there was an awkward moment at the end of the tour when all guests were asked to leave a five star rating as we had tea. The company should invest their time in caring for their employees and paying them properly from the jump instead of pushing them to do this to guests for performance (?) based pay. This was not a five star tour. It was an average tour. Not good and not bad and covered the main sights in Ninh Binh with below average food for Vietnam. The tour cut corners by putting my boyfriend and I in the same boat with a solo traveler to save a few dollars. All other couples were alone and we were not asked if we were okay with that before the tickets were bought and were told as we were shuffled into the boat. We traveled far and wanted a private moment together. The guide was fine otherwise but this is what happens when you don't pay people enough. They cut corners for cash.
Excellent day trip to Ninh Binh
Our trip to Ninh Binh was incredible! Our guide Peter was excellent. He was engaging and thoughtful and was able to manage our group on a timeline all while keeping it fun. Trang An was beautiful, as was the hike at Mua Cave. The temple was impressive. We would recommend this trip to everyone!
