Excellent tour lead by Cuong aka the golden goat and then the next day by Brian. Really enjoyed seeing the country side of Ninh Binh and journeying through the mountains and temple. The next day is a solid day tour of ha long bay with cave exploration and gorgeous views

Tinh was a great guide. The tour was excellent. We had enough time to do so many activities such as visiting the cave and kayak in Ha Long Bay. The cruise was beautiful with great food and super clean. I would definitely do it again!

We had an incredible time exploring Ninh Binh and Halong bay with our tour guide, Ryan and Henry. From the moment we met, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the city’s culture and history. Transporting bus was very comfortable. Buffet lunch was delicious. What really stood out was how both Ryan and He ry. made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, always checking that we were enjoying ourselves and accomodating our needs.

Wonderful tour! Quy and Tình were great tour guides and the whole experience felt very luxurious. Very nice transportation and the boat was really nice as well. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to an overnight luxury cruise. Be prepared to get a workout in and sweat if you choose to do the excursions!
