Excellent Day Trip in Ninh Binh

This was an excellent Day Trip to Ninh Binh. I particularly enjoyed the boat ride at Tam Coc. The buffet was lovely as well, along with a list of restaurant recommendations at the end. Really fun tour! A variety of unique activities that had a really good mix of breaks and more intensive activities, suitable for all skill levels!
