Smooth and enjoyable - I had a great experience with my travel guide Fong. He knew all the shortcuts to make the trip as smooth as possible. Not only that, he guided us to the best spots for photos. I highly recommended Fong as your tour guide.

Overall great trip, disappointing lunch - Overall this was a worthwhile trip. The Mua Cave and Tam Coc boat tour were fantastic, though crowded. The Hoa Lu stop was nice to see, but certainly not particularly memorable. The bus pickup was a little disorganized, but the ride to to Ninh Binh and back went smoothly. The lunch at Tam Coc was the low point of the day. The restaurant was very crowded, hosting at least 3 tour groups simultaneously, with no assigned seating. The buffet line was very long, and the food was mediocre. A good experience that could have been improved with a better lunch and a bit more organization.

Great way to see Ninh... - Great way to see Ninh Binh if short of time. Beautiful landscapes and varied activities in the tour (stairs up the mountain, cycle, see a temple, ride a boat). Trang An is incredible! The organisation was a bit chaotic because it was a big bus group (and that also makes waiting times longer getting everyone in and out of places) and the tickets to places weren't included (VND 350,000 p.p), but worth doing and good value for money.

Great tour, bad lunch - We loved the tour as there was variety - bus, boat, bike, and hike. The only downside was lunch. It was bad.

Great sights but unorganised and terrible lunch. - Great sights but day felt slightly unorganised and the lunch was horrendous. A proper sloppy buffet that nobody seemed to enjoy. The boat trip was definitely the highlight of the trip but because of poor planning the tour guide screamed at the poor workers to rush us around to catch up on time. The last stop was only 1 hour instead of 2 because of 6 toilet trips during the day. We felt slightly robbed at the end of the trip but the sights were great.
