    Review of: Full-Day Ninh Binh Highlights Tour from Hanoi
    Highly recommended
    Excellent and enjoyable trip, everything was so well organised. Tien was very helpful and friendly. The sights were beautiful and the ride out and back was also super comfortable. We were separated from the group for a short time during the trip but we could call the Aloha because they messaged beforehand with trip details, and they were very responsive and helped us make our way back. Would definitely travel again with Aloha.

    Review of: Ninh Binh- Bai Dinh -Trang An -Mua Cave Full Day Trip from Hanoi - Limousine Bus
    Beautiful and Peaceful
    After a stop at the Temple, we arrived at Ninh Binh. I enjoyed watching the scenery change as we drove. The peacefulness of the river ride along with the karst formations took your breath away. Ivan our guide was very knowledgeable and allowed us the time we wanted to explore. Next stop- Hang Mua where we climbed dragon back mountain. The views were stunning! Would definitely recommend!

    Great experience
    It was an amazing experience, the cycle tours into the country side had great views. But it is a bit costly. The tour operator customised the tour as per each customer’s requests.

    Review of: Ninh Binh 2 days,1 night from Hanoi: Hoa Lu - Mua Cave - Tam Coc - Cuc Phuong
    Great trip! Brilliant guide!
    We really enjoyed our trip and our guide was brilliant! Efficient pick up & drop off at our hotel and we enjoyed our bike ride to the ancient city. We loved the boat trip - our skipper rowed with her feet and was great at taking photos! The hike up the 500 steps was hard in the heat but worth it for the amazing views from the top. Our homestay was fab with lovely food and a cool clean room and a karaoke!! The next day we visited the primate rescue centre which was interesting, we hiked in the jungle and found loads of bugs! The cave of primitive man was amazing too. A very good trip and recommend it highly.

    Fun day in Ninh Binh
    Lucas was a fun, informative and very patient guide. He showed us some beautiful places that we would not have found on our own. We got a lot out of the tour in one day. Definitely recommend for a great Ninh Binh experience!

    Review of: Ninh Ninh daily tour: Am Tien Cave- Mua Cave and Trang An boat ride
    It was a really great experience
    My mother and I really wanted to see Ninh Binh but only had one day left so we choose to book a 1-day-tour. We really enjoyed our tour. The tour guides Rose and Linh were really nice and had great information about the places we visited. We only had limited time to see everything but we still got to enjoy our stops. The view from the top at the Mua Cave was really breathtaking but it was really exhausting to climb up and down in the short amount of time. Other than that the boat tour was really nice. The scenery was great. We are really happy that we choose to do this tour, had a great day and would totally recommend if you don’t have more time than one day to visit Ninh Binh.

    Review of: Ninh Binh Tour : Hoa Lu - Tam Coc - Mua Cave One Day Deluxe
    Visit
    Hoa Lu and Tam Coc is a beautiful place to visit but the best part of the tour was the guide. His name is Tom Cruise or Dam. He was extremely friendly, enthusiastic, and personable. I've been on many tours, and he made this one the best. He would give advice on how to deal with hagglers on the street, tipping guidelines, and ensured safety of us and our belongings. We accidentally tipped him too little, next time you see Tom Cruise do us a favor and give that man what he deserves.
