What people are saying about Ninh Bình Province

We loved this trip- it’s in our top three trips so far. Our tour guide, Thang, was very nice, informative and prepped us for each leg of the trip. I will say that it a rather active trip with a beautiful but long bike ride and a 500 stair climb at the end but I think for both you can always sit and grab a drink. Both the bike riding and the climb are totally worth it though. Thang is also a great photographer and will take many pictures of you on your camera and then large group photos as well. The boat ride through the caves is stunning and roughly an hour and 40 minutes. The only downfall was the heavy rain but we were provided a poncho and an umbrella on the boat ride. Buffet lunch was okay but Thang warned us of that and paid special detail to the vegetarians and ppl with allergies. Highly recommend!

Great tour. The guide was well informed and friendly, the tour wasn’t as long as indicated which was perfect for us. It’s an easy day trip and you can still see and do everything you want. Lunch was excellent.

You really need to see this! I was hesitant taking the tour because I have been visiting many places in the region but I think it was probably the best think I experienced in Vietnam.

Brilliant day, great tour guide and an added bonus was the use of cycles through the rice fields

An action packed day so full of fun! I loved every one of the 5 activies provided in this tour.
