Amazing trip! - I went to Vietnam without itinerary. And I’m so glad I booked this trip because everything was seamless, fun, and well-organized. Kudos to Kien, our guide, for being approachable and easy to talk to! Highly recommended!

Worth the trip! - The tour was a 10/10! Our tour guide Kien shared a very comprehensive history of Ninh Binh. The weather was a little unpredictable but we had an awesome experience overall!

Amazing Ninh Binh - Ninh Binh is absolutely breathtaking. Really enjoyed the diverse program and professional guidance by our tour guide Kien. Would definately recommend this trip. Only thing I didnt like much was the two hour (!) boat ride, for me 30 min or max hour would have been enough. However, our guide informed us this was already the shortest option hence this is merely feedback for the local tour operator.

Perfect day - 클룩에서 다녀온 투어 중에 가장 즐거웠던 투어에요!! 👍👍👍 The tour was very well-organized. We got to explore the area around Hoa Lu, the ancient capital, by bicycle. For those who couldn’t ride a bike, there was an alternative option available, which was a thoughtful touch. It felt so refreshing to ride through nature and enjoy the cool breeze—it had been a while since I experienced something like that. After the bike ride, we had a buffet-style lunch before heading off to the boat tour. Since I was traveling alone, it was a bit hard to find someone to share the boat with, but the guide was very considerate and helped me out a lot. I’d like to take this chance to say thank you through this review.
