What are people saying about Ninh Binh
Jack_G, Sep 2023
One of the single greatest days of my life
I've seen a decent amount of the world and Ninh Binh is one of the most extraordinary places I've ever seen. The scenery is mind blowing. I was looking forward to the boat ride the most, but the bike ride was actually the best part. My tour guide Ha was fantastic and she even treated us all to dinner at the end of the day, which wasn't planned. PLEASE do this tour. It's only two hours outside of Hanoi.

Great highlights of Ninh Binh without feeling rushed!
Tour hit all the highlights of Ninh Binh and everything was thoroughly enjoyable - the Trang An and Tam Coc boat tours, the cycling through Tam Coc and see the rice fields, climbing to the top of the mountain for phenomenal views. Our guide Thang was great and accommodating!

Ninh Binh in a Great Day
Had a wonderful day with Vu exploring Ninh Binh and its environs. It was a varied day from temple tours to cycling to being rowed by women with their feet through limestone caves. Vu is an engaging guide with a passion for his country and a deep knowledge of it. Good lunch and drinks provided, together with traditional Non La. Be prepared for a small tip (25K) for the boat rowers.
