Loved it! - Tom and the team were extremely knowledgeable and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the day. We loved having the opportunity to get out and hike, ride bikes and go on a boat rather than staying in the car all day! Would definitely recommend if your looking to do a day trip to Ninh Binh!

Brilliant day in Ninh Binh - The tour was amazing from start to finish. Tom was a great guide, great personality, very funny and took very good care of us. The driver of the bus was excellent and we felt safe at all times.
The family house we went to was a great experience, the Hang Mua walk was challenging but worth it for the views and the Tam Coc river boat cruise was out of this world!
Because of this tour, I would definitely come back to Ninh Binh.
Thank you very much!

Amazing travel to Ninh Binh - We had a fantastic day in Ninh Binh! Great guide, Tom, who was flexible and listenned to our wishes. We are grateful that we took the 500 steps first, it would have been worse doing that after lunch, both because of the heat and that it would have been more tiresome after eating. The bicycle ride and visit to the local home was beautiful and refreshing!! The lunch was really delicious. The boat trip was amazing! We strongly recommend this trip!!
