- A2521IXbryanb0 contributionsIncredible private tour!Incredible private tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgable about all of the Ninh Binh attractions and provided us with a lot of history of the area. The highlights were the lotus farm, the stairway hike (not easy!), and the boat tour. The various caves on the boat tour are not to be missed! This is a very long tour though. The pickup time was early, the drive is a few hours each way (traffic is awful), and the boat cruise itself takes a few hours. Worth it though!Written December 15, 2024
- 771vh0 contributionsVisit to Hanoi,Halong bayI visited Ha Noi from 3 Dec to 8 Dec 24.(4N and 5 days) I stayed for most of the time at Hotel Hanoian Central and moved around the city and visited Ha long for a night cruise. Hotel experience the hotel was a nice, welcoming place for a traveller. Staff there are well behaved,courteous and helpful. They made our stay comfortable and pleasant. Food I ate at vegetarian restaurants and had either pure vegetarian or vegan dishes. Gujarat indian, Southern Desires were 2 hotels I would recommend for. vegetarians. Halong Night cruse was undertaken with Verdura Lotus lines.Excellent creww and staff. They went out of the way to make stay pleasant and there also iIhad good vegetarian meals. Cruise included visit to the caves and Kayaking.The trip was professionally conducted. Up and down travel from Mumbai to Hanoi was by Vietnam Airlines. Experience was good, but return journey dinner was not up to mark. I had a cyclo trip and visited certain places during the day time. Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum- so well maintained and the crowds were well managed by the authorities there. I used Grab for taxis and found the drivers, punctual and polite. Th endless flow of scooters was indeed a nice sight and traffic seemed to be well managed by and large. The whole trip was well within the limited budget and place was quite welcoming. .probably I will plan a repeat visit for longer time and inlcude more places. Tipping appears to be custom there and one should be prepared to tip.waiters/drivers etc,But when they behave so well,one can happily tip them. Overall highly satisfying visit.Written December 8, 2024

The bike ride was easy, tea with a local family was an added surprise.

- eyeC4U0 contributionsAbsolutely the best tour and guideAmazing Tours, with the brilliant Sinh Nguyễn as our guide for the day, was a great success. We had a private tour for 4 people. We were able to completely dictate the program - including throwing a couple of curve balls at Sinh. = we decided we didn’t want to eat the usual traditional Vietnamese lunch and would like a baguette instead. No problem. He quickly rearranged. Then we decided that we were not up to riding bicycles in the heat but would like to be taken on scooter tours through the countryside. Again - no problem. With very little time to arrange, Sinh nevertheless found us 4 scooters with charming and willing drivers for us. It was wonderful. If you want to visit Ninh Binh there is really no better tour van ( it was luxurious with huge aircraft style seats) and guide than Sinh. Do request him.Written November 11, 2024

We spend two amazing days in Ninh Binh with our Tour guide Thao who was friendly, open minded and had a very broad knowledge about all the caves and temples we went to. The organization was well structured and we were able to drive to many destinations by bike which was great since it made it easy to experience the breathtaking scenery in person and all close up. All in all, the time we spent in Ninh Binh was unforgettable and informative which is why I would recommend it to anybody who would like to explore Ninh Binh at its finest!

We joined the 2D1N tour to Ninh Binh with tour guide Phong. We were lucky to be the only two guests in this tour, so there was much flexibility and enough time for the activities. We especially enjoyed the biking (on good quality mountain bikes) and climbing the Núi Ngoạ Long. Phong could give us a lot of information about the history and culture. His English is really good and he is a very nice person so we enjoyed spending time with him. Our stay in the bungalow was perfect. Food on both days was very good. A well-organized tour, we recommend it!

I guess I got lucky and ended up on a tour by myself rather than a group.
The trip from Hanoi was in a VIP minibus which was very comfortable.
The two lunches, 1 dinner and a breakfast were all great and plentiful. My room was in a "bungalow" and it was fabulous.
The tour included a boat ride along the fragrant river and through two caves, two cycle rides through the paddy fields and 500 step climb so make sure you are fit enough to take part.
My guide Phong was absolutely brilliant, he was knowledgeable about the tour, spoke excellent English and we had a laugh together. Sadly the rain came down rather hard on the second afternoon and although Phong was happy to continue I decided to give the ancient historic pagoda visit a miss.
All in a great tour.

My wife and I have been traveling through Vietnam for about 2 weeks now and this was the most fun we've had on a tour so far. Our tour guide Nien taught us more about Ninh Binh and Vietnam culture in general than all the other tour guides combined. All the food was delicious with very large portions and the hotel had the most comfortable beds we've slept in yet through out this whole trip.
Would definitely recommend!

My partner and I had an excellent time on this trip. The driver was very skilled and the tour guide Alex was amazing.
There was a good quantity of activities without feeling rushed. We ended up climbing the 500 steps and doing the cycling in the rain, but the rain did not take away from the activities.
The food was always excellent and they catered for vegetarians really well.

Our plan for the day was always explained to us and our luggage and transport all taking care of. All food included was delicious and the resort we stayed at was beautiful. It had a lovely swimming pool and great cocktails at the outside bar. We would recommend this tour to anyone and make sure you ask for Tom as your guide!

Would this tour be suitable for kids age 3 and 5? We are a group of 6, my parents (>60 years old), myself, my helper and my 2 kids. I am wondering if this would be too tough for my kids?
Thank you.

Most of the tour would be suitable for your family. Climbing the 500 steps to look at the view may be challenging for your young children - and your parents depending on their fitness. I am almost 65 and made the climb albeit slowly. If you can’t cycle then you can also be doubled on the back of a motor bike. The scenery is very beautiful.

The riding was on level ground, but 8 km each way. Alex took one of our tour members with him on a motor bike because she had trouble riding her bike. I think she had to pay a little more.
