Of the best experiences, if not the best, you can do in Vietnam. No matter what they tell you, there are many tourists, if it is crowded, along with Halong Bay, your visit can not be forgiven. Well worth what you pay, which is little, for the three hours of travel, choose the route that is. Really, great.
Awesome tour.A lot of activities to do.Fantastic places to see.A full tour everything was fantastic.
The whole tour was memorable and our tour guide was fantastic. There were enough toilet stops and we were able to stock up on drinks etc. The bus driver drove very well and we safely.
The trip covered our need exactly: A day in nature away from the city! Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area & other aspects of vietnamese culture. Organization was excellent. The operator got in touch with us directly after booking and we felt safe the entire way. Lunch was okay - it was a buffet owned by the travel organization and offered some vegetarian/vegan options. We would have appreciated some more vegan proteins. The only drawback was that cycling was _not_ part of the tour. As far as we understood it, it would have taken place at the temple complex but it was understandable that this would have taken too much time
This was an excellent tour. The bus guide was funny and knowledgeable. The locations were very interesting and beautiful. We had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Hanoi.

Reliable pick up from the point. The guides were knowledgeable and easygoing. Great buffet lunch at Duc. There was quite a few delays, but Vietnam traffic can be a nightmare.
Dear Alan Thank you so much for your feedback of your trip on here. We are so glad to see that you did enjoy Ninh Binh day trip. I think that you have known much more about Vietnamese history, tasting the delicious Vietnamese food at local restaurant. I also agree with you that the local traffic is sometime not really good. As our country is developing and traffic sometime is not so good for punctual time. I believe that you will be served by much better traffic on the day you come back with our country in the future. Hope you have a good day! Best wishes! Manh & Vietnam Real Tour team!
