Beautiful Day Overall — But That Boat Ride Needs Work

Our day tour to Ninh Binh was honestly amazing overall. Our guide was fun, organised and really informative, which made such a difference throughout the day. The bus was semi-comfortable — the seats definitely looked more comfortable than they actually were once you sat in them — but the temperature on the bus was perfect the entire trip which was appreciated. The bikes we rode were extremely run down, but honestly that became part of the fun and gave everyone a laugh. Every stop had such a good atmosphere and getting out of the city into rural Vietnam is an absolute must. The scenery and natural beauty are breathtaking. The only major downside was the boat ride. The canoes were packed in like a highway on water, which really took away from the peaceful beauty of the lake and surroundings. You’re also sitting on those tiny hard seats for over an hour and by the end most of us were genuinely in pain. Once you’re uncomfortable for that long it definitely affects how much you can enjoy the experience around you. Still really glad we did it and would recommend seeing Ninh Binh — just be prepared for the boat portion.”

Must-see experience

Very complete tour, we were lucky enough to have Phong, a very friendly guide who strives to make this day an unforgettable, very entertaining and diverse experience, something very good about this tour is that it contributes to the local growth while for us tourists are filled with the culture of southern Vietnam
