- Praveen86920 contributionsGreat private tour, well guided and great foodThis was a great trip! We went with the fully private tour option. Mr Hien met us at the hotel lobby and took us through the entire trip. We visited the pearl farm, multiple rock formations, and two caves to finish things off. The food was great on the boat, and since we had the entire massive boat to ourselves, we were able to enjoy and relax at our own pace. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to spend a day out of Hanoi.Written January 12, 2025

Hien is a very friendly guide who takes ample time to explain the history behind each and every monument and historical tourist place in Hanoi city. He is a good planner and is also able to adjust or shift the visits spontaneously based on the situation.The Ninh Binh trip was exhilarating, and we enjoyed his company with all the places.

We had the most amazing time on our private tour with Hien! He was extremely intelligent, friendly and eager to share his vast knowledge about Vietnam’s rich history and culture. He was happy to make some changes to the itinerary based on our personal preferences. All in all a fabulous trip! I highly recommend to anyone looking to get in the main sites in the Ninh Binh region in a short amount of time.

It was amazing tour. The lunch was excellent and I enjoyed Vietnam foods talking with other tourists. I was so surprised to see the great cave. It was so beautiful and wonderful. If you plan to visit halon bay for one day trip, I really recommend you to join this tour.

Good day trip around Hanoi to Ningbin with Jacky tour guide.
We start the tour in the early morning from our hotel in Hanoi old quarter, after 2 hours drive we start to visited Mua cave where we climb 500 steps to the top of mountain, the view is to nice from the top.
We then did boat trip in Trang an for 2 hours, it was so amazing such as the paradise, no words can show how beautiful of this area.
Lunch in the local restaurant was delicious, we tried mountain goat meat and it is the first time we eat but really nice.
Temples of kings is the last places in this trip and we know more anout the Vietnam history from our knowlwdgeable tour guide Jacky.
Thank you for a best day in Vietnam.

Hien was very knowledgeable and always had a positive air about him. He took good care of my family if 6 including toddler in tow and managed the itinerary according to our needs. We went hiking, cycling, on a boat trip, on cultural tours and enjoyed amazing food. Thanks for the beautiful memories and we will not hesitate to recommend him.

We booked transport to and from Ninh Binh through Vietnam Top Travel and unfortunately had a very bad experience.
The ‘Limousine’ is an 11 seater van with 6 very comfortable seats in the middle + two uncomfortable front seats next to the driver (which most travel companies do not fill), and three very cramped seats at the back. The van is full both ways, so the odds are good that you will get an uncomfortable seat for at least one leg of your journey (which we did)
There was very poor communication about the method of drop off, involving an additional driver (who could not speak English). My girlfriend unfortunately fell sick during the day, and the ‘middleman’ taxi left us on a random dirt road to wait for the main van, which was a full 50minutes late. There was no communication or contact with the van driver.
Would advise using a different company.

Dear Mike,
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your trip. We fully understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention.
Regarding the transportation, we recognize that traffic in Vietnam can be unpredictable, and unfortunately, this can sometimes lead to delays despite our best efforts to ensure timely pickups. We do our best to avoid such situations, but the heavy traffic in certain areas can sometimes cause delays, as in your case.
As for the language barrier, we would like to explain that the primary language in Vietnam is Vietnamese, and finding a driver who is fluent in English and willing to take on a driving job can be quite challenging. However, we are working to improve this aspect and will look into options for ensuring better communication during transfers.
We take your feedback seriously and will take immediate steps to address the concerns you've raised, particularly with regard to the seating arrangement and improving communication with drivers. Your experience is important to us, and we will do our best to prevent similar issues in the future.
Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Warm regards,

Highly recommend this day tour—it was an absolute treat! Tommy, our tour guide, was fantastic: super kind, full of energy, and had a great sense of humor to keep things light and fun. He shared fascinating historical insights as we explored the temples, making us feel like history buffs in the making.
Lunch? Spot on! Tommy took us to a lovely restaurant where we devoured some seriously delicious food. Then came the Tam Coc boat ride—absolutely stunning, like floating through a postcard.
One of the highlights was visiting a village where they make bamboo sticks for incense. The vibrant colors were absolutely mesmerizing, and Tommy worked his magic behind the camera, snapping some truly great photos for us.
And let’s not forget the tourist bus—brand new, sleek, and oh-so-comfy with reclining seats. I managed to sneak in a quick nap to recharge for more adventures.
All in all, it was a fantastic day from start to finish. If you’re on the fence, just book it—you’ll thank me later!

Excellent tour. The Trang Cave was very cool, and although Lying Dragon Mountain was a slog getting up the 500 steps, the view was magnificent. Trang A was also beautiful and learning about the Dinh and Le dynasties from our informative and friendly tour guide was interesting. Highly recommend if you only have time for a day tour and want to explore the countryside

Is this a truly private tour or would we be joining a small group? If so, how many are usually in the group?
