Best tour yet!

Amazing full day in Ninh Binh with Linh as our guide! We had the best time bicycling though rice fields to Hoa Lu, riding on a boat through Trang An, & finally climbing the 500+ steps to the Mua Cave viewpoint. Best day for my husband, 10yo daughter, & me.

Trang An Tour with the lovely guide SNOW 🧡

We booked our tour through Trang An Ecolodge, it was a full day tour of all the highlights in Trang An/Tam Coc. We were so lucky because our tour guide which we had for the day was Snow ❄️ She genuinely made our day extra special. She was kind, friendly and very accomodating to everyone's needs. If booking this tour I would request to have Snow as your guide for the day. 5 of us went on the tour, we went to a pagoda and the boat tour through Mua Caves in the morning. Snow then brought us to her family home for a beautiful vietnamese lunch which her brother in law made for us. The food was absolutely delicious and some of the best food I have eaten here to date. She even accomodated for my allergies. She showed us around her childhood home and we met her family. A real highlight for us. In the afternoon, we went to Tam Coc to 2 locations including Dragon Mountain. The views are spectacular. Throughout our trip Snow shared historical, cultutal and personal stories of Vietnam and even taught us some Vietnamese. She took photos of us throughout the day and was excellent and getting the perfect shot. This tour is an amazing day out but personally I think our guide Snow made it extra special 🧡

Snow is just the best tour guide

This was the best tour we have done in Vietnam to date. Snow was such a friendly and informative guide and made our day so special. She brought us to her family home where we enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by her family. The food was phenomenal and there was no issue with accommodating our allergies. The climb at the Mua caves gave such a beautiful view. Snow was very knowledgeable about the history of the region. Thank you so much for such an amazing tour Snow

Great trip - wish I chose a different company

Visiting Ninh Binh was definitely a highlight of my trip to Hanoi. I did enjoy this trip very much. The buffet was great and the organization of the day was great. However, if like me, you are looking for a tour where you learn about history and have an actual tour guide (not just a chaperone) then this is not the tour guide for you. Once you arrive at each spot, you are basically just told to go and meet back at a set time. There is no sense of camaraderie during this group. I saw many tour guides having a great time with their groups and I was regretting not signing up for one of those.
