Good trip overall

This is a great activity, it's about 2 hours to get there. Then there is the start with the boat tour follows sing to temples. The boat tour is a highlight, then you follow to see it by bike and then later by hike. The food is buffet but it's okay lots of variety. Be prepared to provide additional tips to every driver along the way.

Explore Ninh Binh full day tour.

A fabulous day of exploring a very beautiful part of Vietnam. Our guide, Tam, expertly directed this tour. We experienced majestic mountain views, a relaxing ride along the meandering river and ancient temples and buildings. Tam was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of this area and his friendly nature helped to make the day most interesting and enjoyable. Love how he shared personal stories during the tour to help us understand the Vietnamese way of life. A great day out!

Honest review

Overall we enjoyed the experience, however it's a very long day (around 12 hours+) when the highlights of the trip only take a few hours. The highlights would be ninh binh and the kayaking around the caves, the other things added in were just fillers which make the day longer than it has to be, lunch was average, a good selection but cold and dry, we skipped the cycling at the sun was scorching and humid so we couldn't do it after being in the sun for two hours on the kayak, our guide spoke relatively okay English, a slow quiet tone which was hard to hear/folloe

Operator response

Thanks so much for your feedback, Bianca Long It is high season, the visiting points are crowded as you see. That took us more time to line up. Thanks again for joining us. Have a nice time in Vietnam! Best regards, Luong

Long day

On our trip to Ninh Binh you have a break at a craft/souvenir shop where everything is much more expensive than in Hanoi. Went to two temples and had a look around the grounds but chose not to go in as we would have to take off our raincoat, that our tour guide had given us, but it was ripping when others tried to take them off. We did the bike ride which took you through villages. Really enjoyed this. We had a buffet lunch which was ok but we arrived at the same time as other tours so there was a lot of waiting in line and the food was average. Then we did a boat ride through 3 caves. This was very long and could be cut to 1 or 2 caves. We did the mountain climb last and had an hour to do it. After a full day plus the drizzly rain and the heat, it made it twice as hard to do, so I only made it part of the way up. Would have liked to have got to the top to the dragon ☹️ Got back to Hanoi around 7 and we were exhausted.
