A great day trip - A wonderful day trip. Although the itinerary was altered slightly it made no difference. Brian was a great guide, informative but didn't overdo it. It would have been nice to slow down on the bike ride for a few photo stops, so many great vistas. Bikes weren't terrific but did the hob. Lunch was pretty ordinary but there was plenty of it.

Good experience, recommended! - The trip was carefully organized with everything necessary to experience these locations. There are cost-cutting methods but to be expected at this price point.

Best from Hanoi not from Ninh Binh - If you’re staying in Ninh Binh I wouldn’t recommend this tour. Even though it states there is pick up the driver refused to do this, you end up meeting the group at a restaurant to start the tour at 10:30. The bike ride and temples were nice. The caves were really good, if I was to do this again I would just get a ticket for the caves. The food was average, lots of it thought. The way back you could go to the Mua caves but if you’re staying in Ninh Binh you need to make your own way back. The other option is to explore Ninh Binh, no guide just a walk around which again if you’re already staying in Ninh Binh it’s pointless as you can do this by yourself without paying for it. Overall a pretty disorganised day

3 stars specifically for the sales lady, 5 stars to the tour guide (Victor) & driver - What they sell, what they promise and what they provide is totally different. That pisses me off initially. Booked with them specifically to exclude MUA Cave, yet I was told by the guide we’re going to MUA Cave. Not the tour guide’s fault, it’s the organizer/company for misleading info. The guide (Victor) & driver were AMAZING! So full of energy, insightful, caring and just very fun to be around. Started off at Mua Cave, lunch, then a short cycling trip, Hoa Lu and then 2-3 hours on Trang An. Lots of physical activity 🤣 a little tiring but super fun!
