Traveler reviews
Day tour to Ninh Binh
A pleasant trip to Ninh Binh with Ms. Linh of Aloha Vietnam travel & Guide. A good private tour of small group in a very comfortable vehicle. tour guide was very attentive to us, explaining about locations and was very informative. Tour itinerary was perfectly matching for the day of all ages. we really enjoyed the trip and thanks to Linh for her guidance. I recommend to choose tours with this company especially with guides like Linh.
Relaxing and beautiful!
We had a great time with Jenna and another guide in training (sorry not sure how to spell her name). They had a wealth of knowledge and were extremely friendly! The boat ride was very relaxing and the scenery is beautiful. A must do if you're spending more time in Hanoi and looking to escape the city.
Great guides and activities.
Sunny and Snow were amazing travel guides! They made the trip was fun and informative. They were very attentive to details and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy the tour. The tour bus equipped with WiFi, USB plugs, and comfortable seats. The boat tour was simply amazing - great scenery, caves, temples. I highly recommend taking a trip with this company.
Good knowledge
We visited the biggest pagoda in Southeast Asia in the morning and boat trip Trang An in afternoon. Overall it’s enough for a day tour if you ain’t interested in too much physical activities like biking. Our tour guide Jenna provides lots information about Budda and she is very patient as well. Keep moving forward.
Exceptional boat ride into the caves
It was an amazing ride through ancient caves on a row boat.Our guide Loan explained the whole tour to us prior to the trip.She made us most comfortable and was open to questions and also very knowledgeable on the area.She also got the group to introduce themselves to each other and also the country they came from.She spoke good English, which helped . This tour did not go th the highest point where you have to climb the 465 stairs, we went to the shorter one that was only 150 stairs. I would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Hanoi.
