I had such an mazing time on this trip! Even though I’m not the most active person, every moment felt completely worth i

Published on Oct, 2024

I had an incredible experience on my recent trip to Tam Coc! Our guide was fantastic, sharing fascinating historical insights and ensuring everyone understood everything clearly. The well-organized tour started with an early bus arrival and a pleasant rest stop with some unique items-like mini owl statues and dried mango in translucent packaging-that you can’t find in Hanoi or Sapa, so l made sure to grab a few We explored Hoa Lu, enjoyed a delicious buffet lunch, and then went on a peaceful boat ride through Tam Coc, despite high water levels. The highlight was the scenery was breathtaking and distinctly different from Ha Long Bay. Overall, it was a perfect mix of history, nature, and great company!

This tour left me with unforgettable memories.

Our guide was fantastic, sharing a wealth of intriguing historical facts while keeping the group entertained with his humor. The tour was well-organized, featuring a comfortable bus and an excellent buffet lunch with plenty of options; however, drinks at the restaurant were not included. While the weather was quite hot at 35 degrees, and I experienced some back pain from sitting for an extended period, I thoroughly enjoyed the breathtaking views throughout the journey. The boat ride was delightful and surprisingly serene. I left the tour feeling very happy and satisfied with the overall experience. Our guide, was incredibly friendly and helpful, while our driver maintained a professional demeanor, making the ride feel smooth and enjoyable. The actual locations we visited were stunning. We got to cycle and boat through the beautiful, green landscape of Tam Coc. Although we couldn’t explore all the caves due to high water levels, it didn’t detract from the experience. Although we couldn’t explore all the caves because of the high water levels, it didn’t dampen my spirits.

Amazing experience, great service

The day trip was nicely organised by Harry’s company. Comfortable bus with good English guide made our tour truly memorable. We covered three destinations Hoa Lu, Mua Caves and Tam Coc, all destinations were serene and way too beautiful. Lunch buffet was good as well, decent vegetarian options. All in all will highly recommend their service for a memorable day tour of Ninh Binh.

Ninh Binh Tour

Published on Dec, 2023

A fabulous day full of awesome activities. Ninh-Binh Tour just cannot be given a miss if you're travelling to Hanoi. I have never experienced a boat-ride as wonderful and adventurous as the Tom Cac one. The natural beauty of the surroundings, the thrill of sailing through the limestone caves with their fascinating stalactites, the dextrous rowing by the boatmen ( with their feet!!!!) all made for an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Mr Duc, made our trip to Dinh King temple very interesting by providing its historical background. Mr Duc is an extremely experienced guide who was up to any challenge that cropped up during the tour. Our last stop was 'The Three Pagodas'. Oh my goodness, nothing could have prepared for the absolutely stunning artistry of the interiors!!! And to top it all, we were privileged to view the Pagodas in the background of the glorious setting Sun. The whole experience (topped with my religious fervour for Buddha) was spellbinding. Didn't want to leave the place.

Great day trip!

Lovely day trip! The hike was a bit tough but very doable. The river tour was a definite highlight. Duc was a phenomenal tour guide!
