Ninh Bình was one of our favorite stops in Vietnam! As a family of five, we had an amazing time. We loved both guides Max and Duyen. Climbing the steps was definitely a workout, but the breathtaking panoramic views at the top made every step worth it. We also loved the peaceful Trang An boat ride through the caves and stunning landscapes where Kong: Skull Island was filmed. An unforgettable experience, we highly recommend adding Ninh Bình to your Vietnam itinerary!

A wonderful 2 days. Quân our guide made a us no sleepy bus smile and interact which set the tone for the day. The highlights were the boat ride and Dragon Mountain on day one. Lovely hotel with a pool and nice food. We were delighted to see Quân was our guide the following day too. This day didn’t seem so rushed with just the two activities - loved the Buddhist Temple. Ate lunch in the same restaurant both days - buffet with lots of choice. This was a great way to see Ninh Bihn and all very well organised

Loved our first days activities, especially Tam Coc boating and Mau Cave. Our guide Minh was the best and made the whole tour memorable. He was so helpful and went above and beyond to assist us. Highly recommend.

il viaggio di 2 gg vale la pena, i siti da visitare sono molto interessanti, trovo solo eccessiva la doppia esperienza sul fiume. anche se si vedono scorci diversi rischia di diventare ripetitiva. molto bella la visita al tempio, alla pagoda e la salita dei 500 gradini

Horrendous. I left a previous feedback. But basically I would not recommend this tour nor this agency. They make things too complicated and are not client-oriented. Lack of communication, compromise and professionalism.

Questa esperienza è stata davvero molto bella, organizzata in ogni tappa. La consiglio vivamente! Il Tour si divide in due giorni come la descrizione prevede. Le due guide che ci hanno accompagnato durante il viaggio sono state molto gentili e disponibili con il gruppo, sicuramente la loro presenza è stata un valore aggiunto all'esperienza. Auguro di poter godere di questa esperienza ad ogni nuova persona in viaggio.

This was a really well planned 2-day trip. It was perfectly paced and we explored all the important interactions in Ninh Binh. The accommodation was also really nice. Our tour guides, Quan and Max, were so friendly and funny - they made this trip special.

Everything was well organized. I enjoyed the tours and learning about Vietnam's history. I did think that one boat ride was enough though. I appreciated the small group size. The guides were very informative, personable and friendly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Hanoi. Hanoi Explore Travel confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover dinner with the tour-only option, tips, personal expenses, and anything not clearly mentioned above and pickup and drop-off outside the hanoi old quarter area. Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
No, a local rower takes you; Trang An's loop is two to three hours in a sampan through caves and you sit the whole way. A small tip for the rower is customary. Bring a hat and sunscreen, the boats are open, and wear shoes you can cycle in for the paddy-field ride between sights.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
