Fun day out to Ninh Binh - Nien was our humorous and knowledgeable guide for this full-day Ninh Binh excursion covering Hang Mua peak and cave, a Tam Coc boat tour, cycling to a local farmer’s house for a visit, and finally Hoa Lu temple. It was a very hot day (42 degrees celsius!) and Nien and our driver Hai made sure our comfortably air-conditioned minibus was additionally provisioned with cold bottles of water in an ice-filled cooler box. Cycling was optional, and 7 out of the 9 people in our group ended up opting to go to the farmer’s house via our minibus due to the heat. What I really appreciated was how Nien never made the remaining 2 of us who wanted to cycle feel like we had to choose to forego cycling and go along with the rest of the group in the minibus — he sincerely asked us what we preferred and I’m truly grateful for this because the cycling bit, although short, turned out to be my favourite activity of the day. Lunch was included in this tour (served family style) and we were thankful that it was in an air-conditioned restaurant with clean restrooms.

Fun and easy day trip from Hanoi - The best way to see the highlights of Ninh Binh! This itinerary is well planned and makes sure you don’t visit the stops at super crowded times. Our tour guide Nien was great and added fun facts and humor! I liked how he gave us some free time to explore alone as well.

Young family Ninh Binh full day trip Stunning Travel - Mr QA was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly with a good sense of humour. The tour itself was perfect for my family with children around the age of 10. The highlights are the view from the top of the steps - you earn it! - the lunch and the boat ride. Thanks to QA for making the day so interesting and fun!

Amazing tour w friendly and knowledgeable tour guide! - Hoa is an amazing tour guide! He is knowledgeable of the history and the sights. You can tell he wants to educate us on the Vietnamese culture and how people lives and not just shuttle us from place to place. He hiked up to the top of the mountain with us and make sure everyone got enough breaks and water. We had a wonderful time biking around the backcountry of Ninh Binh where no other tourists were. We had a wonderful lunch of local cuisine before floating on the river to see the caves. Last but not least, we were educated on the history of the old temple about the king and his three sons. This was such an amazing tour. I would highly recommend it!!!
