Loan was the BEST guide, sharing so much information about the culture, the religión, the life of Vietnam people. It was such an enjoyable day, also trying lots of delicious food.

Memorable boat ride - The tour to Ninh Binh was a very nice activity. We visited the ancient capital of Hoa Lu and also the river boat ride through the Trang An landscape. I enjoyed the scenery and the boat ride was memorable.
The bus ride was about 2 hours each way. The condition of the bus was clean and the seats were comfortable.
Our tour guide Peter was very responsible and helpful. During the trip, he ensured everyone was well taken care of. He even recommended to me some good restaurants in Hanoi.

Great tour, enthusiastic guide and beautiful mountains - I had a wonderful day with this tour. Rose is a very skillfull and enthusiastic guide who told a lot of things about Vietnam. She speaks also good English. It was great to see the beautiful mountains by boat and the ancient temple. Ninh Binh is very peaceful! I wouldn't miss it. The bus was very comfortable and the lunch was fine. I really recommend this tour and hope to come back to Ninh Binh again. Thanks for the lovely day!

Un giorno a ninh - a little too uncomfortable while Off was acceptable perhaps it should have lasted a little longer the journey on the river with the boats was interesting only that the day wasn't one of the best
