Traveler reviews
What a great experience!
We were picked up from the hotel on time and then we set off on a 10-hour, entertaining trip to Ninh Binh. Throughout the day, Mr. Manh drove us safely to various hotspots in a minivan. Our friendly tour guide Linh entertained us and informed us in perfect English from a historical perspective. She looked after us in a touching way. She also actively asked if we had any further questions. We had lunch in a restaurant and our vegetarian wish was adequately fulfilled. A really lovely day and I can honestly give our tour guide, our driver and the organizer 5 stars with a clear conscience.
Well worth making the effort and excellent professional tour guide operation.
What an amazing day, so many things to see, and it wasn’t rushed. Maya our tour guide and Coungh our driver did an excellent job. Maya was so informative and answered all my silly questions and Coungh safely drove us around all day without any incidents.
Perfect daytrip, with nice people and perfect guides.
Today we were picked up from our hotel by our guide Maya and driver Curong at the agreed time and they gave us a day we will never forget. We specifically chose this tour operator because it is small-scale, maximum 8 people, and we took a seat in a luxury bus, which took us to the beautiful locations of Hoa Lu, Dinh Kingh temple, Muah caves, Dragon mountaun, Tom Coc by sampan boat and a bike ride to Bich Dong. It was an intensive but beautiful day, everything was perfectly taken care of, from the well-guided trips to the sights to lunch. I would like to thank Cuong for the nice and relaxing transportation and Maya for the calm and good explanation about the trip and the locations. We also had a very nice group of fellow travelers, which is certainly important. Greetings from the Rabelingjes
