ken was great fornHalong Bay Trip for Ninh Binh Jason and team was very very helpful
Amazing trip to Halong Bay! Our tour guide, Ken, was a great lad. You’ve just made our last day in Vietnam and on our honeymoon more amazing than we could have ever imagined. Very punctual and comfortable transportation. Highly recommended.
I had an amazing experience with both the Ninh Binh and Ha Long Bay tours! Ninh Binh Tour: This was absolutely perfect. The natural beauty of the locations we visited was breathtaking. While all activities were enjoyable, the cycling tour was the highlight of my trip. it was so peaceful and scenic. The buffet lunch was delicious with many great options. One of the best parts was that it never felt overcrowded. Our guide, Mr Bean, was fantastic! He was so kind and guided us perfectly throughout the day. Ha Long Bay Tour: Also a very pleasant trip! The kayaking was an incredible experience. defi
For our Ninh Binh tour, Ryan was an amazing guide! He was very personable and funny and so good at teaching us about the history and customs of Vietnam. The bike ride and hike up the mountain were also amazing, as well as the boat ride! For our Ha Long tour, Minh was such a patient and attentive guide. We had a large group and he was so good at organizing and attending to everyone’s needs. Very good vibes and a really good guide during our trip to the caves! Both trips were excellent and the perfect blend of activity and relaxing! 10/10 must do!
Trang was great and funny on our trip to Ninh Binh. Austin was also great with our trip to Ha Long Bay cruise. I definitely highly recommend both on this excursion. John
Easy to book; prompt pick up and comfy coaches. Ninh Binh guide Lang was excellent; guided us gently through the day and the activities were excellent. Ha Long Bay guide Phong, also excellent made sure we got to our destinations on time and provided some great detail and information at each stop. Great value for money overall
Our tour guide was Hoang (Alex) Hoang for the Ha Long Bay trip and he was awesome! Positive the whole time, excited to be helpful, really good at keeping track of everyone and making sure we were comfortable. If you can request jim specifically as a guide I would. Done a few tours and his positive attitude was refreshing.
Our first day in ninh binh was very beautiful, good hikes, a lot of rich culture and history and the bike ride was amazing. Hope was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and funny Our day in ha long bay was great. Ken was a very kind and knowledgeable guide, besides de beautiful landscapes, he made the tour very enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it.
My 1st l day trip to Ninh Binh was the absolute highlight of our time in Vietnam, thanks to our incredible guide, Mr. Lang and driver, I enjoyed every activities for the day. 2nd day to HaLong Bay was also unbelievably great. As it is a day cruise tour, I get to enjoy the scenery in most relaxing way. Our dragon king cruise super cool and the food is amazing. Our tour guide Mr Nam is very nice and fun, driver is also expert in driving.
I booked a one-day Ninh Binh tour during my Vietnam trip and it turned out to be one of the highlights of my journey. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide leader was friendly and gave us just the right amount of information without rushing us. We cycled through small villages where locals waved and smiled. My favorite part was the Tam Coc boat ride: drifting along the river while a local rower paddled with her feet felt both peaceful and surreal. The schedule was full but never stressful. Lunch was a generous Vietnamese buffet with plenty of vegetarian options, and transportation
Henry and Quy were really helpful. The tour was a total must see. The sights were beautiful and the landscapes amazing. I highly recommend do not miss them
Day 1 with Tour Guide Quy in Ninh Binh was amazing! Quy is efficient, charismatic and so knowledgeable about Ninh Binh. Day 2 with Henry in Halong Bay was again efficient and we learned so much about the history of the area. A huge shout out to Henry for organising a drop off to the train station. Both tour guides are an asset to the tourism industry! Thank you both for sharing a bit of your culture and country with us!
