Great tour thank you Mr Loi - Mr Loi was a great tour guide, we loved all the activities for the day! The boat is a big part (2.5hrs) and quite long (I feel for the Vietnamese women paddling all that time) - it was very hot 38degrees but felt like 48! Some boats have back rests and others don’t!! Thankyou mr Loi for making the day a fun experience 🫶🏻

A Day Worth Every Penny - This excursion is absolutely worth every penny—you truly get great value, and your eyes will be amazed. The day starts gently with visits to temples and a short bike ride. The buffet lunch is excellent. The afternoon is where it really shines! The boat excursion offers breathtaking scenery, and the mountains at sunset bring the day to a perfect close. Special thanks to Anna for her contagious energy and enthusiasm—she made the experience even more enjoyable.

Nice experience! - Crowdy place. But well organized tour and guide! We've enjoyed a lot. Especially the boat trip was a lot of fun.

Highly recommended - Good services from this agent. My wife and my son injoyed a lot. The weather, landcapes are beautiful. I have booked this tour at Old Quater. And your staff support me a lot. Highly recommended

Magnificent landscape Ha long bay on land - Me and my wife had been taken care by the operator Daisy from reservation even to end of the trip with very sincere remembering gift by her. The price reasonable but very good quality, Ninh Binh such a precious gift of nature, truely a relaxing place after active trip was Ha long bay. Highly recommend for this one!

happy trip in Ninh Binh - we had great trip in Ninh Binh. very funny with cycling and boating. thank you for supporting my trip in Vietnam. Mr Loi tour guide is great

Mostly good except for the shopping hijack and discomfort - The 7:40 am hotel pick up was on time. Unfortunately the only seats left on the “limousine” were the raised back row. The seats were unadjustable with no rear suspension. We managed to fish out seatbelts because if the driver stopped suddenly we would have flown over the other passengers. At the midway restroom stop, we were essentially forced to sit through a sales pitch on bamboo products and then walk through many aisles before exiting the store. We wasted 30 minutes here that should have been spent on the hike. There was no time to fight the crowds to the mountain top pagodas. Our guide’s English was poor and he always rushed ahead of everyone without much explanation. The buffet lunch was fine. The 30-minute bike ride was on unpaved, very bumpy roads without much to see. We were told that we had purchased a different riverboat ride than the other 10 tourists. We paid an extra VND100,000 cash to stay together. The boat ride was scenic with passage through three low caves. At two hours, it was a bit long, leaving us feeling cramped sitting on the hard bench. The ride back to Hanoi was long on that bumpy back seat with my head bouncing at the wrong height and the seat leaned way back. We got back to our hotel just after 7 pm, making for a long day. We’re glad we got to see Ninh Binh but it wasn’t topnotch.

Avoid!!!! - Me and my husband booked a full day trip via an agency, when booking through the agency and paying the deposit we were advised that the tour guide who works at this rubbish establishment would message the night before to reconfirm details; pick up point, times, etc. However no message was ever received and although we felt hesitant that we may have been scammed we had faith to ensure we would be at the pick up location at exactly the agreed time confirmed by the agent. Now comes the day of our trip and we get a call from the guide 20 minutes before our agreed meet up time and location. I dont have his name as he was very careful to ensure this was never shared the whole trip and was in a nutshell scolded in front of other tourists joining our trip stating that everyone is waiting for us, why are we late and that he will leave without us. He then proceeded to ask us to come to a new meet up point further away than originally planned for which I immediately highlighted this. Upon arrival I was again scolded for apparently not sharing my number and it began to be a blame game with 0 accountability taken by the operator and the guide who neither knew how to do their job and were persistent on blaming the agency. It was clear the agency had shared all relevant details but this company and their guides lack common sense to accept their own failings. The whole trip was awkward, uncomfortable and to be honest it started so bad I did not want to be there. The joke of it all was that he even asked for tips after such a horrible experience knowing full well they ruined our trip which we paid a premium price for. He also shared feedback forms with other people except us, again treating us differently. They first tried to blame me for being tired for all their wrongdoing and then proceeded to offer a free drink at the paid for buffet in which case after refusing to pay the remaining of the trip they finally accepted to take off 500k vnd from the total. Keeping in mind they only spoke to me after I had refused to pay otherwise they would have no incentive to correct their errors as prior to this they were ignoring me. Please spend your hard earned money elsewhere with another well established and respected operator and tour guide. I informed the agency I had booked with who reassured they will no longer work with this operator and tour guide going forward. I hope these people learn something from today's experience and treat future travellers better.
