Traveler reviews
Ninh Binh 2 days trip
We had wonderful tour during the 2 days visit of Ninh Binh. Our tour operator was eager to plan the best route for having the best experience. Our guide Po was a very friendly and open minded person. He is very capable young guide which bond easily with all our family. He helped us manage all the situation while always caring for us with never being intrusive. He really the best guide we could have hope for. The driver was also really skilled.
Perfect.

Great Tour
Wonderfully organised tour...had a great friend and guide in form of Leo who made sure that our tour was comfortable All the bookings were made in advanced and all the things were sorted before hand
The local tour company...
The local tour company were very efficient and the tour was most enjoyable, however although the places we went to were very good, we didn't go to the places that were advertised in the description. So, if you really want to go there it could be disappointing.
