Great tour with Quy! - The drive is long to Ninh Binh and very bumpy so don’t expect to sleep on the way. Get a good nights sleep the night before and you’ll be good. Once there, we hopped on some bikes and rode through some of the local neighborhoods and saw some rice fields. The area is lush and gorgeous with so much character. We visited many temples and learned about some of the culture and history of Vietnam. After we rode back, the locals had prepared a Vietnamese lunch for us so we sat and ate for a bit. Next, we were taken by boat to explore through nature, numerous caves and more temples. The scenery really felt out of this world.
Our tour guide Quy was really the sweetest- so patient with everyone and easy going. He provided a lot of information at each place we visited and always made sure everyone was accounted for. We would definitely recommend a tour from Quy when you visit Vietnam- he is excellent!
P.S. he’s also a great photographer!

Great day adventure - Quy was informative, polite and friendly!
I really enjoyed the whole trip, even the last stop with all those steps, Quy our tour guide was taking photos of everyone on the bus as we visited all our locations and he even joined us on the hike and took photos of us as we climbed the steps.
Very fun trip, I would recommend this trip!

Thanks Ninh Binh - Awesome day your from Hanoi to Ninh Binh. Quy (tour guide) was amazing! Super helpful with many local insights.
Including cycling… nice and chill flat ride
Trang An boat … tranquility at its best
Mua Cave … nice, yet got the heart pumping, way to end the day with outstanding views
Was concerned as a vego that lunch would be a bit average, but was pleasantly surprised with more than enough options.
Overall… money and time well spent.
Thanks again Quy!!!

Enjoy the serenity - Such a peaceful experience; well, except for the 500 steps at Mua Cave lol - that was challenging and rewarding! Quy was such a welcoming and funny host - showing us his home town of Ninh Binh. Cycling amongst the limestone karsts was magical. Don’t be worried if you can’t ride or climb. My elderly parents were well catered for with alternative activities and transport between sites. Book this tour, you win’t regret it.
