It was a really great experience

My mother and I really wanted to see Ninh Binh but only had one day left so we choose to book a 1-day-tour. We really enjoyed our tour. The tour guides Rose and Linh were really nice and had great information about the places we visited. We only had limited time to see everything but we still got to enjoy our stops. The view from the top at the Mua Cave was really breathtaking but it was really exhausting to climb up and down in the short amount of time. Other than that the boat tour was really nice. The scenery was great. We are really happy that we choose to do this tour, had a great day and would totally recommend if you don’t have more time than one day to visit Ninh Binh.
