Ninh Binh day tour

We had an amazing time on our day with Mai, our tour guide. We had a gorgeous two hour boat ride in Trang An, followed by a visit to the ancient temple where Mai gave us lots of insightful information. We had a delicious authentic Vietnamese lunch (trying the local cuisine of goat) and finally had a great time hiking up the steps at Mua cave. Overall a really lovely day and a superb friendly guide - thanks Mai!

I joined a 1-day tour in Nin Binh with a tour guide named TWO, he was very good at explaining the tourist attractions we visited, so from the beginning of the trip to the end it was very enjoyable being accompanied by TWO.

Beautiful tour, also well-suited for children.

We undertook the tour to Nimh Bimh as a family with a 5-year-old child. Our guide Two picked us up on time at the hotel. The tour was excellently organized thanks to Two. At each spot, we always had enough time, and the included meal at the restaurant exceeded our expectations. Only the boat ride was a bit too long for us. We found the last stop at the Mua Cave particularly beautiful; the climb of 500 steps was indeed very strenuous, but we were rewarded with a wonderful view. Thank you very much for this great day, especially to our guide Two 😍😍😍

Private day trip to Nimh Binh

We only had limited time in Hanoi & wanted to see some of Nimh Binh so we booked this private tour so we could tailor it to enable us to get back to Hanoi by 5pm. We went on a Sunday (the busiest day) and we enjoyed a 2hour Sampan boat trip from Trang An, past incredible cliffs & through caves followed by the 500step climb to the Mua Cave temple - it’s very steep & uneven in places but was on our bucket list & the views as you climb were amazing. Our tour guide Mai organised a lunch stop for us & chose our meals which were shared plates and delicious. This was enough activity /sightseeing to fit into our timeframe as the drive back took longer than the drive there (weekend traffic) We were very happy with our choice & our tour guide Mai was so very lovely & knowledgeable & we felt safe with our driver Thang in our very comfortable car.

Memorable trip with Eden

Our day trip to Hoa Lu, Trang An, and Hang Mua was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our guide, Eden (Duc). We started by exploring the ancient temples of Hoa Lu, where Eden shared fascinating stories about Vietnam’s history. In Trang An, we enjoyed a peaceful boat ride through stunning caves and limestone karsts. The highlight was climbing the 500 steps of Hang Mua; the panoramic view from the top is breathtaking! Eden was professional, funny, and an expert photographer. His deep local knowledge and great English made the experience seamless. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Ninh Binh
